This option does not 27 affect the wireless-extension backward compatibility 28 code in cfg80211. 29 30 Say N (if you can) unless you know you need wireless 31 extensions for external modules. 32 33config WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS 34 bool "Wireless extensions sysfs files" 35 default y 36 depends on WIRELESS_EXT && SYSFS 37 help 38 This option enables the deprecated wireless statistics 39 files in /sys/class/net/*/wireless/.
