  config WIRELESS_EXT
  	bool
  
  config WEXT_CORE
  	def_bool y
  	depends on CFG80211_WEXT || WIRELESS_EXT
  
  config WEXT_PROC
  	def_bool y
  	depends on PROC_FS
  	depends on WEXT_CORE
  
  config WEXT_SPY
  	bool
  
  config WEXT_PRIV
  	bool
  
  config CFG80211
  	tristate "cfg80211 - wireless configuration API"
  	depends on RFKILL || !RFKILL
  	---help---
  	  cfg80211 is the Linux wireless LAN (802.11) configuration API.
  	  Enable this if you have a wireless device.
  
  	  For more information refer to documentation on the wireless wiki:
  
  	  http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/cfg80211
  
  	  When built as a module it will be called cfg80211.
  
  config NL80211_TESTMODE
  	bool "nl80211 testmode command"
  	depends on CFG80211
  	help
  	  The nl80211 testmode command helps implementing things like
  	  factory calibration or validation tools for wireless chips.
  
  	  Select this option ONLY for kernels that are specifically
  	  built for such purposes.
  
  	  Debugging tools that are supposed to end up in the hands of
  	  users should better be implemented with debugfs.
  
  	  Say N.
  
  config CFG80211_DEVELOPER_WARNINGS
  	bool "enable developer warnings"
  	depends on CFG80211
  	default n
  	help
  	  This option enables some additional warnings that help
  	  cfg80211 developers and driver developers, but beware that
  	  they can also trigger due to races with userspace.
  
  	  For example, when a driver reports that it was disconnected
  	  from the AP, but the user disconnects manually at the same
  	  time, the warning might trigger spuriously due to races.
  
  	  Say Y only if you are developing cfg80211 or a driver based
  	  on it (or mac80211).
  
  
  config CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
  	bool "cfg80211 certification onus"
  	depends on CFG80211 && EXPERT
  	default n
  	---help---
  	  You should disable this option unless you are both capable
  	  and willing to ensure your system will remain regulatory
  	  compliant with the features available under this option.
  	  Some options may still be under heavy development and
  	  for whatever reason regulatory compliance has not or
  	  cannot yet be verified. Regulatory verification may at
  	  times only be possible until you have the final system
  	  in place.
  
  	  This option should only be enabled by system integrators
  	  or distributions that have done work necessary to ensure
  	  regulatory certification on the system with the enabled
  	  features. Alternatively you can enable this option if
  	  you are a wireless researcher and are working in a controlled
  	  and approved environment by your local regulatory agency.
  
  config CFG80211_REG_CELLULAR_HINTS
  	bool "cfg80211 regulatory support for cellular base station hints"
  	depends on CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
  	---help---
  	  This option enables support for parsing regulatory hints
  	  from cellular base stations. If enabled and at least one driver
  	  claims support for parsing cellular base station hints the
  	  regulatory core will allow and parse these regulatory hints.
  	  The regulatory core will only apply these regulatory hints on
  	  drivers that support this feature. You should only enable this
  	  feature if you have tested and validated this feature on your
  	  systems.
  
  config CFG80211_REG_RELAX_NO_IR
  	bool "cfg80211 support for NO_IR relaxation"
  	depends on CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
  	---help---
  	 This option enables support for relaxation of the NO_IR flag for
  	 situations that certain regulatory bodies have provided clarifications
  	 on how relaxation can occur. This feature has an inherent dependency on
  	 userspace features which must have been properly tested and as such is
  	 not enabled by default.
  
  	 A relaxation feature example is allowing the operation of a P2P group
  	 owner (GO) on channels marked with NO_IR if there is an additional BSS
  	 interface which associated to an AP which userspace assumes or confirms
  	 to be an authorized master, i.e., with radar detection support and DFS
  	 capabilities. However, note that in order to not create daisy chain
  	 scenarios, this relaxation is not allowed in cases where the BSS client
  	 is associated to P2P GO and in addition the P2P GO instantiated on
  	 a channel due to this relaxation should not allow connection from
  	 non P2P clients.
  
  	 The regulatory core will apply these relaxations only for drivers that
  	 support this feature by declaring the appropriate channel flags and
  	 capabilities in their registration flow.
  
  config CFG80211_DEFAULT_PS
  	bool "enable powersave by default"
  	depends on CFG80211
  	default y
  	help
  	  This option enables powersave mode by default.
  
  	  If this causes your applications to misbehave you should fix your
  	  applications instead -- they need to register their network
  	  latency requirement, see Documentation/power/pm_qos_interface.txt.
  
  config CFG80211_DEBUGFS
  	bool "cfg80211 DebugFS entries"
  	depends on CFG80211
  	depends on DEBUG_FS
  	---help---
  	  You can enable this if you want debugfs entries for cfg80211.
  
  	  If unsure, say N.
  
  config CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB
  	bool "use statically compiled regulatory rules database" if EXPERT
  	default n
  	depends on CFG80211
  	---help---
  	  This option generates an internal data structure representing
  	  the wireless regulatory rules described in net/wireless/db.txt
  	  and includes code to query that database. This is an alternative
  	  to using CRDA for defining regulatory rules for the kernel.
  
  	  Using this option requires some parsing of the db.txt at build time,
  	  the parser will be upkept with the latest wireless-regdb updates but
  	  older wireless-regdb formats will be ignored. The parser may later
  	  be replaced to avoid issues with conflicts on versions of
  	  wireless-regdb.
  
  	  For details see:
  
  	  http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory
  
  	  Most distributions have a CRDA package. So if unsure, say N.
  
  config CFG80211_CRDA_SUPPORT
  	bool "support CRDA" if CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB
  	default y
  	depends on CFG80211
  	help
  	  You should enable this option unless you know for sure you have no
  	  need for it, for example when using internal regdb (above.)
  
  	  If unsure, say Y.
  
  config CFG80211_WEXT
  	bool "cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility" if !CFG80211_WEXT_EXPORT
  	depends on CFG80211
  	select WEXT_CORE
  	default y if CFG80211_WEXT_EXPORT
  	help
  	  Enable this option if you need old userspace for wireless
  	  extensions with cfg80211-based drivers.
  
  config CFG80211_WEXT_EXPORT
  	bool
  	depends on CFG80211
  	help
  	  Drivers should select this option if they require cfg80211's
  	  wext compatibility symbols to be exported.
  
  config LIB80211
  	tristate
  	default n
  	help
  	  This options enables a library of common routines used
  	  by IEEE802.11 wireless LAN drivers.
  
  	  Drivers should select this themselves if needed.
  
  config LIB80211_CRYPT_WEP
  	tristate
  
  config LIB80211_CRYPT_CCMP
  	tristate
  
  config LIB80211_CRYPT_TKIP
  	tristate
  
  config LIB80211_DEBUG
  	bool "lib80211 debugging messages"
  	depends on LIB80211
  	default n
  	---help---
  	  You can enable this if you want verbose debugging messages
  	  from lib80211.
  
  	  If unsure, say N.
