| 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. |

| 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. | |
