6 tristate "RTL8723AU/RTL8188[CR]U/RTL819[12]CU (mac80211) support"
7 depends on MAC80211 && USB
9 This is an alternative driver for various Realtek RTL8XXX
10 parts written to utilize the Linux mac80211 stack.
11 The driver is known to work with a number of RTL8723AU,
12 RL8188CU, RTL8188RU, RTL8191CU, and RTL8192CU devices
14 This driver is under development and has a limited feature
15 set. In particular it does not yet support 40MHz channels
16 and power management. However it should have a smaller
17 memory footprint than the vendor drivers and benefits
18 from the in kernel mac80211 stack.
20 It can coexist with drivers from drivers/staging/rtl8723au,
21 drivers/staging/rtl8192u, and drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi,
22 but you will need to control which module you wish to load.
24 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will
25 be called r8xxxu. If unsure, say N.
27 config RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED
28 bool "Include support for untested Realtek 8xxx USB devices (EXPERIMENTAL)"
31 This option enables detection of Realtek 8723/8188/8191/8192 WiFi
32 USB devices which have not been tested directly by the driver
33 author or reported to be working by third parties.
