+ ---help---
+ cfg80211 is the Linux wireless LAN (802.11) configuration API.
+ Enable this if you have a wireless device.

+ help
+ The nl80211 testmode command helps implementing things like
+ factory calibration or validation tools for wireless chips.
+
+ Select this option ONLY for kernels that are specifically
+ built for such purposes.
+
+ Debugging tools that are supposed to end up in the hands of
+ users should better be implemented with debugfs.

+ depends on CFG80211
+ default n
+ help
+ This option enables some additional warnings that help
+ cfg80211 developers and driver developers, but that can
+ trigger due to races with userspace.
+
+ For example, when a driver reports that it was disconnected
+ from the AP, but the user disconnects manually at the same
+ time, the warning might trigger spuriously due to races.
+
+ Say Y only if you are developing cfg80211 or a driver based
+ on it (or mac80211).

This option enables the legacy wireless extensions
