This driver is a developer testing tool that can be used to test
IEEE 802.11 networking stack (mac80211) functionality. This is not
needed for normal wireless LAN usage and is only for testing. See <a href="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/mac80211_hwsim">Documentation/networking/mac80211_hwsim</a> for more information on how
to use this tool.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called mac80211_hwsim. If unsure, say N.
