15 Saying Y here also enables the Wireless Extensions (creates
16 /proc/net/wireless and enables iwconfig access). The Wireless
17 Extension is a generic API allowing a driver to expose to the user
18 space configuration and statistics specific to common Wireless LANs.
19 The beauty of it is that a single set of tool can support all the
20 variations of Wireless LANs, regardless of their type (as long as
21 the driver supports Wireless Extension). Another advantage is that
22 these parameters may be changed on the fly without restarting the
23 driver (or Linux). If you wish to use Wireless Extensions with
24 wireless PCMCIA (PC-) cards, you need to say Y here; you can fetch
25 the tools from
