The /sys/class/net/*/wireless/ direcory is, as far as I know, not used by anyone. Additionally, the same data is available via wext ioctls. Hence the sysfs files are pretty much useless. This patch makes them optional and schedules them for removal. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Cc: Jean Tourrilhes <jt@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

This option turns on the new netlink interface
|
|
(nl80211) support in cfg80211.
|
|
|
|
If =n, drivers using mac80211 will be configured via
|
|
wireless extension support provided by that subsystem.
|
|
|

If unsure, say Y.

---help---
|

This option enables the legacy wireless extensions
|
|
(wireless network interface configuration via ioctls.)
|
|
|
|
Wireless extensions will be replaced by cfg80211 and
|
|
will be required only by legacy drivers that implement
|
|
wireless extension handlers. This option does not
|
|
affect the wireless-extension backward compatibility
|
|
code in cfg80211.
|
|
|
|
Say N (if you can) unless you know you need wireless
|
|
extensions for external modules.

help
|
|
This option enables the deprecated wireless statistics
|
|
files in /sys/class/net/*/wireless/. The same information
|
|
is available via the ioctls as well.
|
|
|
|
Say Y if you have programs using it (we don't know of any).
