| bool "Wireless extensions" |
| default n |
| ---help--- |
| This option enables the legacy wireless extensions |
| (wireless network interface configuration via ioctls.) |

| will be required only by legacy drivers that implement |

| extensions for external modules. |
| |
| config NET_WIRELESS_RTNETLINK |
| bool "Wireless Extension API over RtNetlink" |
| depends on WIRELESS_EXT |
| ---help--- |
| Support the Wireless Extension API over the RtNetlink socket |
| in addition to the traditional ioctl interface (selected above). |

| For now, few tools use this facility, but it might grow in the |
| future. The only downside is that it adds 4.5 kB to your kernel. |
