mac80211: rewrite Kconfig text for mesh (c8d10cbd) · Commits · 戴 / test

Lubomir Rintel recently pointed out a dead link for o11s.org, and repointed it to a still live, but also stale website. As far as I know, no one is updating the content at open80211s.org. Since this Kconfig text was originally written, though, the 802.11s mesh drafts were approved and ultimately rolled into 802.11 proper. Meanwhile, the implementation has converged on the final standard, so we can lose all of the text here and provide something that's a little more helpful and accurate. Signed-off-by:

		This options enables support of Draft 802.11s mesh networking.
		The implementation is based on Draft 2.08 of the Mesh Networking
		amendment. However, no compliance with that draft is claimed or even
		possible, as drafts leave a number of identifiers to be defined after
		ratification. For more information visit http://o11s.org/.
		Select this option to enable 802.11 mesh operation in mac80211
		drivers that support it. 802.11 mesh connects multiple stations
		over (possibly multi-hop) wireless links to form a single logical
		LAN.
