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 | |
13 | ||
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 | |
c1edece3 | 17 | memory footprint than the vendor drivers and benefits |
26f1fad2 JS |
18 | from the in kernel mac80211 stack. |
19 | ||
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. | |
23 | ||
24 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will | |
25 | be called r8xxxu. If unsure, say N. | |

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. | |
