12 If =n, drivers using mac80211 will be configured via
13 wireless extension support provided by that subsystem.

20 ---help---
21 This option enables the old static regulatory information
22 and uses it within the new framework. This is available
23 temporarily as an option to help prevent immediate issues
24 due to the switch to the new regulatory framework which
25 does require a new userspace application which has the
26 database of regulatory information (CRDA) and another for
27 setting regulatory domains (iw).

32 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw
33
34 It is important to note though that if you *do* have CRDA present
35 and if this option is enabled CRDA *will* be called to update the
36 regulatory domain (for US and JP only). Support for letting the user
37 set the regulatory domain through iw is also supported. This option
38 mainly exists to leave around for a kernel release some old static
39 regulatory domains that were defined and to keep around the old
40 ieee80211_regdom module parameter. This is being phased out and you
41 should stop using them ASAP.

43 Say Y unless you have installed a new userspace application.
44 Also say Y if have one currently depending on the ieee80211_regdom
45 module parameter and cannot port it to use the new userspace
46 interfaces.

52 This option enables the legacy wireless extensions

55 Wireless extensions will be replaced by cfg80211 and
56 will be required only by legacy drivers that implement

57 wireless extension handlers. This option does not
58 affect the wireless-extension backward compatibility
59 code in cfg80211.

69 This option enables the deprecated wireless statistics
70 files in /sys/class/net/*/wireless/. The same information
71 is available via the ioctls as well.
