CONFIG_RTL8XXXU: Realtek 802.11n USB wireless chips support

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_RTL8XXXU has multiple definitions:

Realtek 802.11n USB wireless chips support found in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_RTL8XXXU:

Help text

This is an alternative driver for various Realtek RTL8XXX parts written to utilize the Linux mac80211 stack. The driver is known to work with a number of RTL8723AU, RL8188CU, RTL8188RU, RTL8191CU, RTL8192CU, RTL8723BU, RTL8192EU, RTL8188FU, RTL8188EU, RTL8710BU (aka RTL8188GU), and RTL8192FU devices.

This driver is under development and has a limited feature set. In particular it does not yet support 40MHz channels and power management. However it should have a smaller memory footprint than the vendor drivers and benefits from the in kernel mac80211 stack.

It can coexist with the rtlwifi driver but you will need to control which module you wish to load.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called rtl8xxxu. If unsure, say N.

It can coexist with drivers from drivers/staging/rtl8723au, drivers/staging/rtl8192u, and drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi, but you will need to control which module you wish to load.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called r8xxxu. If unsure, say N.
