67 bool "Enable mac80211 mesh networking (pre-802.11s) support"
70 This options enables support of Draft 802.11s mesh networking.
71 The implementation is based on Draft 2.08 of the Mesh Networking
72 amendment. However, no compliance with that draft is claimed or even
73 possible, as drafts leave a number of identifiers to be defined after
74 ratification. For more information visit http://o11s.org/.
