General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_ATH9K_PCI_NO_EEPROM:

• prompt: Atheros ath9k pci loader for EEPROM-less chips
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_ATH9K_PCI
• defined in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 5.4–5.19, 6.0–6.12, 6.13-rc+HEAD
• modules built: ath9k_pci_owl_loader

Help text

This separate driver provides a loader in order to support the AR500X to AR92XX-generation of ath9k PCI(e) WiFi chips, which have their initialization data (which contains the real PCI Device ID that ath9k will need) stored together with the calibration data out of reach for the ath9k chip.

These devices are usually various network appliances, routers or access Points and such.

If unsure say N.
