In particular it does not yet support 40MHz channels 1726f1fad2SJes Sorensen and power management. However it should have a smaller 18c1edece3STobias Klauser memory footprint than the vendor drivers and benefits 1926f1fad2SJes Sorensen from the in kernel mac80211 stack. 2026f1fad2SJes Sorensen 2126f1fad2SJes Sorensen It can coexist with drivers from drivers/staging/rtl8723au, 2226f1fad2SJes Sorensen drivers/staging/rtl8192u, and drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi, 2326f1fad2SJes Sorensen but you will need to control which module you wish to load. 2426f1fad2SJes Sorensen 2526f1fad2SJes Sorensen To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will 26*6e597150SBitterblue Smith be called rtl8xxxu.
