cfg80211: add CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS (b594bab9) · Commits · 戴 / test

This adds CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS which is to be used for features / code which require a bit of work on the system integrator's part to ensure that the system will still pass 802.11 regulatory certification. This option is also usable for researchers and experimenters looking to add code in the kernel without impacting compliant code. We'd use CONFIG_EXPERT alone but it seems that most standard Linux distributions are enabling CONFIG_EXPERT already. This allows us to define 802.11 specific kernel features under a flag that is intended by design to be disabled by standard Linux distributions, and only enabled by system integrators or distributions that have done work to ensure regulatory certification on the system with the enabled features.

		You should disable this option unless you are both capable
		and willing to ensure your system will remain regulatory
		compliant with the features available under this option.
		Some options may still be under heavy development and
		for whatever reason regulatory compliance has not or
		cannot yet be verified. Regulatory verification may at
		times only be possible until you have the final system
		in place.

		This option should only be enabled by system integrators
		or distributions that have done work necessary to ensure
		regulatory certification on the system with the enabled
		features. Alternatively you can enable this option if
		you are a wireless researcher and are working in a controlled
		and approved environment by your local regulatory agency.
