This adds CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS which is to be used for features / code which require a bit of work on the system integrator's part to ensure that the system will still pass 802.11 regulatory certification. This option is also usable for researchers and experimenters looking to add code in the kernel without impacting compliant code. We'd use CONFIG_EXPERT alone but it seems that most standard Linux distributions are enabling CONFIG_EXPERT already. This allows us to define 802.11 specific kernel features under a flag that is intended by design to be disabled by standard Linux distributions, and only enabled by system integrators or distributions that have done work to ensure regulatory certification on the system with the enabled features.

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.

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.

help
|
|
This option enables some additional warnings that help
|
|
cfg80211 developers and driver developers, but that can
|
|
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).

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.

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.

This option generates an internal data structure representing

the wireless regulatory rules described in net/wireless/db.txt
|
