This option enables the hardware independent IEEE 802.11 networking stack.
This option enables a TX rate control algorithm for mac80211 that uses a PID controller to select the TX rate.
This option enables the 'minstrel' TX rate control algorithm
This option enables the 'minstrel_ht' TX rate control algorithm
This option selects the default rate control algorithm mac80211 will use. Note that this default can still be overridden through the ieee80211_default_rc_algo module parameter if different algorithms are available.
Select the PID controller based rate control as the default rate control algorithm. You should choose this unless you know what you are doing.
Select Minstrel as the default rate control algorithm.
This options enables support of Draft 802.11s mesh networking. The implementation is based on Draft 2.08 of the Mesh Networking amendment. However, no compliance with that draft is claimed or even possible, as drafts leave a number of identifiers to be defined after ratification. For more information visit http://o11s.org/.
This option enables a few LED triggers for different packet receive/transmit events.
Select this to see extensive information about the internal state of mac80211 in debugfs. Say N unless you know you need this.
This option collects various mac80211 debug settings.
This option affects code generation in mac80211, when selected some functions are marked "noinline" to allow easier debugging of problems in the transmit and receive paths. This option increases code size a bit and inserts a lot of function calls in the code, but is otherwise safe to enable. If unsure, say N unless you expect to be finding problems in mac80211.
Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out many debugging messages. It should not be selected on production systems as some of the messages are remotely triggerable. Do not select this option.
This option enables 802.11n High Throughput features debug tracing output. It should not be selected on production systems as some of the messages are remotely triggerable. Do not select this option.
Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out very verbose TKIP debugging messages. It should not be selected on production systems as those messages are remotely triggerable. Do not select this option.
Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out very verbose IBSS debugging messages. It should not be selected on production systems as those messages are remotely triggerable. Do not select this option.
Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out very verbose power save mode debugging messages (when mac80211 is an AP and has power saving stations.) It should not be selected on production systems as those messages are remotely triggerable. Do not select this option.
Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out very verbose mesh peer link debugging messages (when mac80211 is taking part in a mesh network). It should not be selected on production systems as those messages are remotely triggerable. Do not select this option.
Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out very verbose mesh routing (HWMP) debugging messages (when mac80211 is taking part in a mesh network). It should not be selected on production systems as those messages are remotely triggerable. Do not select this option.
Selecting this option causes mac80211 to keep additional and very verbose statistics about TX and RX handler use and show them in debugfs. If unsure, say N.
Say Y here to make mac80211 register with the ftrace framework for the driver API -- you can then see which driver methods it is calling and which API functions drivers are calling by looking at the trace. If unsure, say Y.
