11	bool "Atheros bluetooth coexistence support"
12	depends on (ATH9K || ATH9K_HTC)
13	default y
14	---help---
15	  Say Y, if you want to use the ath9k/ath9k_htc radios together with
16	  Bluetooth modules in the same system.

26	---help---
27	  This module adds support for wireless adapters based on
28	  Atheros IEEE 802.11n AR5008, AR9001 and AR9002 family
29	  of chipsets. For a specific list of supported external
30	  cards, laptops that already ship with these cards and
31	  APs that come with these cards refer to ath9k wiki
32	  products page:
33
34	  http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k/products
35
36	  If you choose to build a module, it'll be called ath9k.
37
38config ATH9K_PCI
39	bool "Atheros ath9k PCI/PCIe bus support"
40	default y
41	depends on ATH9K && PCI
42	---help---
43	  This option enables the PCI bus support in ath9k.
44
45	  Say Y, if you have a compatible PCI/PCIe wireless card.
46
47config ATH9K_AHB
48	bool "Atheros ath9k AHB bus support"
49	depends on ATH9K
50	default n
51	---help---
52	  This option enables the AHB bus support in ath9k.
53
54	  Say Y, if you have a SoC with a compatible built-in
55	  wireless MAC. Say N if unsure.
56
57config ATH9K_DEBUGFS
58	bool "Atheros ath9k debugging"
59	depends on ATH9K && DEBUG_FS
60	select MAC80211_DEBUGFS
61	select RELAY
62	---help---
63	  Say Y, if you need access to ath9k's statistics for
64	  interrupts, rate control, etc.
65
66	  Also required for changing debug message flags at run time.
67
68config ATH9K_DFS_CERTIFIED
69	bool "Atheros DFS support for certified platforms"
70	depends on ATH9K && CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
71	default n
72	---help---
73	  This option enables DFS support for initiating radiation on
74	  ath9k. There is no way to dynamically detect if a card was DFS
75	  certified and as such this is left as a build time option. This
76	  option should only be enabled by system integrators that can
77	  guarantee that all the platforms that their kernel will run on
78	  have obtained appropriate regulatory body certification for a
79	  respective Atheros card by using ath9k on the target shipping
80	  platforms.
81
82	  This is currently only a placeholder for future DFS support,
83	  as DFS support requires more components that still need to be
84	  developed. At this point enabling this option won't do anything
85	  except increase code size.
86
87config ATH9K_TX99
88	bool "Atheros ath9k TX99 testing support"
89	depends on CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
90	default n
91	---help---
92	  Say N. This should only be enabled on systems undergoing
93	  certification testing and evaluation in a controlled environment.
94	  Enabling this will only enable TX99 support, all other modes of
95	  operation will be disabled.
96
97	  TX99 support enables Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing.
98	  SAR is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency(RF)
99	  absorbed by the body when using a wireless device. The RF exposure
100	  limits used are expressed in the terms of SAR, which is a measure
101	  of the electric and magnetic field strength and power density for
102	  transmitters operating at frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz.
103	  Regulatory bodies around the world require that wireless device
104	  be evaluated to meet the RF exposure limits set forth in the
105	  governmental SAR regulations.
106
107config ATH9K_LEGACY_RATE_CONTROL
108	bool "Atheros ath9k rate control"
109	depends on ATH9K
110	default n
111	---help---
112	  Say Y, if you want to use the ath9k specific rate control
113	  module instead of minstrel_ht. Be warned that there are various
114	  issues with the ath9k RC and minstrel is a more robust algorithm.
115	  Note that even if this option is selected, "ath9k_rate_control"
116	  has to be passed to mac80211 using the module parameter,
117	  ieee80211_default_rc_algo.
118
119config ATH9K_RFKILL
120	bool "Atheros ath9k rfkill support" if EXPERT
121	depends on ATH9K
122	depends on RFKILL=y || RFKILL=ATH9K
123	default y
124	help
125	  Say Y to have ath9k poll the RF-Kill GPIO every couple of
126	  seconds. Turn off to save power, but enable it if you have
127	  a platform that can toggle the RF-Kill GPIO.
128
129config ATH9K_HTC
130       tristate "Atheros HTC based wireless cards support"
131       depends on USB && MAC80211

136       select ATH9K_COMMON
137       ---help---
138	 Support for Atheros HTC based cards.
139	 Chipsets supported: AR9271
140
141	 For more information: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_htc
142
143	 The built module will be ath9k_htc.

146	bool "Atheros ath9k_htc debugging"
147	depends on ATH9K_HTC && DEBUG_FS
148	---help---
149	  Say Y, if you need access to ath9k_htc's statistics.
