28 cfg80211 is the Linux wireless LAN (802.11) configuration API.
29 Enable this if you have a wireless device.
31 For more information refer to documentation on the wireless wiki:
33 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/cfg80211
35 When built as a module it will be called cfg80211.
37 config NL80211_TESTMODE
38 bool "nl80211 testmode command"
41 The nl80211 testmode command helps implementing things like
42 factory calibration or validation tools for wireless chips.
44 Select this option ONLY for kernels that are specifically
45 built for such purposes.
47 Debugging tools that are supposed to end up in the hands of
48 users should better be implemented with debugfs.
52 config CFG80211_DEVELOPER_WARNINGS
53 bool "enable developer warnings"
57 This option enables some additional warnings that help
58 cfg80211 developers and driver developers, but beware that
59 they can also trigger due to races with userspace.
61 For example, when a driver reports that it was disconnected
62 from the AP, but the user disconnects manually at the same
63 time, the warning might trigger spuriously due to races.

71 depends on CFG80211 && EXPERT
74 You should disable this option unless you are both capable
75 and willing to ensure your system will remain regulatory
76 compliant with the features available under this option.
77 Some options may still be under heavy development and
78 for whatever reason regulatory compliance has not or
79 cannot yet be verified. Regulatory verification may at
80 times only be possible until you have the final system
83 This option should only be enabled by system integrators
84 or distributions that have done work necessary to ensure
85 regulatory certification on the system with the enabled
86 features. Alternatively you can enable this option if
87 you are a wireless researcher and are working in a controlled
88 and approved environment by your local regulatory agency.

116 If selected, point to a directory with DER-encoded X.509
117 certificates like in the kernel sources (net/wireless/certs/)
118 that shall be accepted for a signed regulatory database.
120 Note that you need to also select the correct CRYPTO_<hash> modules
121 for your certificates, and if cfg80211 is built-in they also must be.
123 config CFG80211_REG_CELLULAR_HINTS
124 bool "cfg80211 regulatory support for cellular base station hints"
125 depends on CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
127 This option enables support for parsing regulatory hints
128 from cellular base stations. If enabled and at least one driver
129 claims support for parsing cellular base station hints the
130 regulatory core will allow and parse these regulatory hints.
131 The regulatory core will only apply these regulatory hints on
132 drivers that support this feature. You should only enable this
133 feature if you have tested and validated this feature on your
136 config CFG80211_REG_RELAX_NO_IR
137 bool "cfg80211 support for NO_IR relaxation"
138 depends on CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
140 This option enables support for relaxation of the NO_IR flag for
141 situations that certain regulatory bodies have provided clarifications
142 on how relaxation can occur. This feature has an inherent dependency on
143 userspace features which must have been properly tested and as such is
144 not enabled by default.
146 A relaxation feature example is allowing the operation of a P2P group
147 owner (GO) on channels marked with NO_IR if there is an additional BSS
148 interface which associated to an AP which userspace assumes or confirms
149 to be an authorized master, i.e., with radar detection support and DFS
150 capabilities. However, note that in order to not create daisy chain
151 scenarios, this relaxation is not allowed in cases where the BSS client
152 is associated to P2P GO and in addition the P2P GO instantiated on
153 a channel due to this relaxation should not allow connection from
156 The regulatory core will apply these relaxations only for drivers that
157 support this feature by declaring the appropriate channel flags and
158 capabilities in their registration flow.
160 config CFG80211_DEFAULT_PS
161 bool "enable powersave by default"
165 This option enables powersave mode by default.
167 If this causes your applications to misbehave you should fix your
168 applications instead -- they need to register their network
169 latency requirement, see Documentation/power/pm_qos_interface.txt.

176 You can enable this if you want debugfs entries for cfg80211.

181 bool "support CRDA" if EXPERT
185 You should enable this option unless you know for sure you have no
186 need for it, for example when using internal regdb (above) or the
187 database loaded as a firmware file.

197 Enable this option if you need old userspace for wireless
198 extensions with cfg80211-based drivers.
200 config CFG80211_WEXT_EXPORT
204 Drivers should select this option if they require cfg80211's
205 wext compatibility symbols to be exported.
211 This options enables a library of common routines used
212 by IEEE802.11 wireless LAN drivers.
214 Drivers should select this themselves if needed.
