config IEEE80211 tristate "Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (DEPRECATED)" ---help--- This option enables the hardware independent IEEE 802.11 networking stack. This component is deprecated in favor of the mac80211 component. config IEEE80211_DEBUG bool "Enable full debugging output" depends on IEEE80211 ---help--- This option will enable debug tracing output for the ieee80211 network stack. This will result in the kernel module being ~70k larger. You can control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the value in /proc/net/ieee80211/debug_level For example: % echo 0x00000FFO > /proc/net/ieee80211/debug_level For a list of values you can assign to debug_level, you can look at the bit mask values in If you are not trying to debug or develop the ieee80211 subsystem, you most likely want to say N here. config IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP tristate "IEEE 802.11 WEP encryption (802.1x)" depends on IEEE80211 select CRYPTO select CRYPTO_ARC4 select CRYPTO_ECB select CRC32 ---help--- Include software based cipher suites in support of IEEE 802.11's WEP. This is needed for WEP as well as 802.1x. This can be compiled as a module and it will be called "ieee80211_crypt_wep". config IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP tristate "IEEE 802.11i CCMP support" depends on IEEE80211 select CRYPTO select CRYPTO_AES ---help--- Include software based cipher suites in support of IEEE 802.11i (aka TGi, WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK, etc.) for use with CCMP enabled networks. This can be compiled as a module and it will be called "ieee80211_crypt_ccmp". config IEEE80211_CRYPT_TKIP tristate "IEEE 802.11i TKIP encryption" depends on IEEE80211 select WIRELESS_EXT select CRYPTO select CRYPTO_MICHAEL_MIC select CRYPTO_ECB select CRC32 ---help--- Include software based cipher suites in support of IEEE 802.11i (aka TGi, WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK, etc.) for use with TKIP enabled networks. This can be compiled as a module and it will be called "ieee80211_crypt_tkip".
