28	  This module adds support for wireless adapters based on
29	  Atheros IEEE 802.11n AR5008, AR9001 and AR9002 family
30	  of chipsets. For a specific list of supported external

36
37	  If you choose to build a module, it'll be called ath9k.

40	bool "Atheros ath9k PCI/PCIe bus support"
41	default y
42	depends on ATH9K && PCI
43	help
44	  This option enables the PCI bus support in ath9k.

80	depends on ATH9K_DEBUGFS && CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
81	default n
82	help
83	  Say N. This should only be enabled on systems undergoing
84	  certification testing and evaluation in a controlled environment.
85	  Enabling this will only enable TX99 support, all other modes of
86	  operation will be disabled.
87
88	  TX99 support enables Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing.
89	  SAR is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency(RF)
90	  absorbed by the body when using a wireless device. The RF exposure
91	  limits used are expressed in the terms of SAR, which is a measure
92	  of the electric and magnetic field strength and power density for
93	  transmitters operating at frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz.
94	  Regulatory bodies around the world require that wireless device
95	  be evaluated to meet the RF exposure limits set forth in the
96	  governmental SAR regulations.
97
98config ATH9K_DFS_CERTIFIED
99	bool "Atheros DFS support for certified platforms"
100	depends on ATH9K && CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
101	default n
102	help
103	  This option enables DFS support for initiating radiation on
104	  ath9k. There is no way to dynamically detect if a card was DFS
105	  certified and as such this is left as a build time option. This
106	  option should only be enabled by system integrators that can
107	  guarantee that all the platforms that their kernel will run on
108	  have obtained appropriate regulatory body certification for a
109	  respective Atheros card by using ath9k on the target shipping
110	  platforms.
111
112	  This is currently only a placeholder for future DFS support,
113	  as DFS support requires more components that still need to be
114	  developed. At this point enabling this option won't do anything
115	  except increase code size.
116
117config ATH9K_DYNACK
118	bool "Atheros ath9k ACK timeout estimation algorithm"

124	  duration
125
126config ATH9K_WOW
127	bool "Wake on Wireless LAN support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
128	depends on ATH9K && PM
129	default n
130	help
131	  This option enables Wake on Wireless LAN support for certain cards.
132	  Currently, AR9462 is supported.

138	default y
139	help
140	  Say Y to have ath9k poll the RF-Kill GPIO every couple of
141	  seconds. Turn off to save power, but enable it if you have
142	  a platform that can toggle the RF-Kill GPIO.
143
144config ATH9K_CHANNEL_CONTEXT
145	bool "Channel Context support"
146	depends on ATH9K
147	default n
148	help
149	  This option enables channel context support in ath9k, which is needed
150	  for multi-channel concurrency. Enable this if P2P PowerSave support
151	  is required.
152

162	help
163	  This separate driver provides a loader in order to support the
164	  AR500X to AR92XX-generation of ath9k PCI(e) WiFi chips, which have
165	  their initialization data (which contains the real PCI Device ID
166	  that ath9k will need) stored together with the calibration data out
167	  of reach for the ath9k chip.
168
169	  These devices are usually various network appliances, routers or
170	  access Points and such.
171
172	  If unsure say N.

202	  This option incorporates the ADC register output as a source of
203	  randomness into Linux entropy pool (/dev/urandom and /dev/random)
204
205	  Say Y, feeds the entropy directly from the WiFi driver to the input
206	  pool.
