704232c271
This patch creates the core cfg80211 code along with some sysfs bits. This is a stripped down version to allow mac80211 to function, but doesn't include any configuration yet except for creating and removing virtual interfaces. This patch includes the nl80211 header file but it only contains the interface types which the cfg80211 interface for creating virtual interfaces relies on.

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.

Say N (if you can) unless you know you need wireless
|
|
extensions for external modules.

bool "Wireless Extension API over RtNetlink"

|
|
---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.
