45 depends on MAC80211_HAS_RC
46 default MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_MINSTREL
48 This option selects the default rate control algorithm
49 mac80211 will use. Note that this default can still be
50 overridden through the ieee80211_default_rc_algo module
51 parameter if different algorithms are available.
53 config MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_PID
54 bool "PID controller based rate control algorithm"
55 depends on MAC80211_RC_PID
57 Select the PID controller based rate control as the
58 default rate control algorithm. You should choose
59 this unless you know what you are doing.
61 config MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_MINSTREL

65 Select Minstrel as the default rate control algorithm.

82 bool "Enable mac80211 mesh networking (pre-802.11s) support"
83 depends on MAC80211 && EXPERIMENTAL
85 This options enables support of Draft 802.11s mesh networking.
86 The implementation is based on Draft 2.08 of the Mesh Networking
87 amendment. However, no compliance with that draft is claimed or even
88 possible, as drafts leave a number of identifiers to be defined after
89 ratification. For more information visit http://o11s.org/.
92 bool "Enable LED triggers"
97 This option enables a few LED triggers for different
98 packet receive/transmit events.
100 config MAC80211_DEBUGFS

115 config MAC80211_NOINLINE
116 bool "Do not inline TX/RX handlers"
117 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
119 This option affects code generation in mac80211, when
120 selected some functions are marked "noinline" to allow
121 easier debugging of problems in the transmit and receive
124 This option increases code size a bit and inserts a lot
125 of function calls in the code, but is otherwise safe to
128 If unsure, say N unless you expect to be finding problems
131 config MAC80211_VERBOSE_DEBUG
132 bool "Verbose debugging output"
133 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
135 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out
136 many debugging messages. It should not be selected
137 on production systems as some of the messages are
138 remotely triggerable.
140 Do not select this option.
142 config MAC80211_HT_DEBUG
143 bool "Verbose HT debugging"
144 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
146 This option enables 802.11n High Throughput features
147 debug tracing output.

150 of the messages are remotely triggerable.
152 Do not select this option.
154 config MAC80211_TKIP_DEBUG
155 bool "Verbose TKIP debugging"
156 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU

160 be selected on production systems as those messages
161 are remotely triggerable.
163 Do not select this option.
165 config MAC80211_IBSS_DEBUG
166 bool "Verbose IBSS debugging"
167 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU

170 very verbose IBSS debugging messages. It should not
171 be selected on production systems as those messages
172 are remotely triggerable.
174 Do not select this option.
176 config MAC80211_VERBOSE_PS_DEBUG
177 bool "Verbose powersave mode debugging"
178 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
180 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out very
181 verbose power save mode debugging messages (when mac80211
182 is an AP and has power saving stations.)
183 It should not be selected on production systems as those
184 messages are remotely triggerable.
186 Do not select this option.

190 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
191 depends on MAC80211_MESH
193 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out very
194 verbose mesh peer link debugging messages (when mac80211
195 is taking part in a mesh network).
196 It should not be selected on production systems as those
197 messages are remotely triggerable.
199 Do not select this option.

202 bool "Verbose mesh HWMP routing debugging"
203 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
204 depends on MAC80211_MESH
206 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out very
207 verbose mesh routing (HWMP) debugging messages (when mac80211
208 is taking part in a mesh network).
209 It should not be selected on production systems as those
210 messages are remotely triggerable.
212 Do not select this option.
214 config MAC80211_DEBUG_COUNTERS
215 bool "Extra statistics for TX/RX debugging"
216 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
217 depends on MAC80211_DEBUGFS
219 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to keep additional
220 and very verbose statistics about TX and RX handler use
221 and show them in debugfs.
225 config MAC80211_DRIVER_API_TRACER
226 bool "Driver API tracer"
227 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
228 depends on EVENT_TRACING
230 Say Y here to make mac80211 register with the ftrace
231 framework for the driver API -- you can then see which
232 driver methods it is calling and which API functions
233 drivers are calling by looking at the trace.
