From 26f1fad29ad973b0fb26a9ca3dcb2a73dde781aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jes Sorensen Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2015 20:44:51 -0400 Subject: New driver: rtl8xxxu (mac80211) This is an alternate driver for a number of Realtek WiFi USB devices, including RTL8723AU, RTL8188CU, RTL8188RU, RTL8191CU, and RTL8192CU. It was written from scratch utilizing the Linux mac80211 stack. After spending months cleaning up the vendor provided rtl8723au driver, which comes with it's own 802.11 stack included, I decided to rewrite this driver from the bottom up. Many thanks to Johannes Berg for 802.11 insights and help and Larry Finger for help with the vendor driver. The full git log for the development of this driver can be found here: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jes/linux.git branch rtl8723au-mac80211 This driver is still under development, but has proven to be very stable for me. It currently supports station mode only. It has support for OFDM and CCK rates. It does lack certain features found in the staging driver, such as power management, AMPDU, and 40MHz channel support. In addition it does not support AD-HOC, AP, and monitor mode support at this point. The driver is known to work with the following devices: Lenovo Yoga (rtl8723au) TP-Link TL-WN823N (rtl8192cu) Etekcity 6R (rtl8188cu) Daffodil LAN03 (rtl8188cu) Alfa AWUS036NHR (rtl8188ru) Signed-off-by: Jes Sorensen Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo --- drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig') diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig b/drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig index 91907c4b8bcf..f9f94229bf1b 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig @@ -279,6 +279,7 @@ source "drivers/net/wireless/p54/Kconfig" source "drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/Kconfig" source "drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/Kconfig" source "drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/Kconfig" +source "drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/Kconfig" source "drivers/net/wireless/ti/Kconfig" source "drivers/net/wireless/zd1211rw/Kconfig" source "drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/Kconfig" -- cgit v1.2.3
