1026f1fad2SJes Sorensen	  This is an alternative driver for various Realtek RTL8XXX
1126f1fad2SJes Sorensen	  parts written to utilize the Linux mac80211 stack.
1226f1fad2SJes Sorensen	  The driver is known to work with a number of RTL8723AU,
136e597150SBitterblue Smith	  RL8188CU, RTL8188RU, RTL8191CU, RTL8192CU, RTL8723BU, RTL8192EU,
14*c98411dcSBitterblue Smith	  RTL8188FU, RTL8188EU, RTL8710BU (aka RTL8188GU), and RTL8192FU
15*c98411dcSBitterblue Smith	  devices.

1726f1fad2SJes Sorensen	  This driver is under development and has a limited feature
1826f1fad2SJes Sorensen	  set. In particular it does not yet support 40MHz channels
1926f1fad2SJes Sorensen	  and power management. However it should have a smaller
20c1edece3STobias Klauser	  memory footprint than the vendor drivers and benefits
2126f1fad2SJes Sorensen	  from the in kernel mac80211 stack.
2226f1fad2SJes Sorensen
2326f1fad2SJes Sorensen	  It can coexist with drivers from drivers/staging/rtl8723au,
2426f1fad2SJes Sorensen	  drivers/staging/rtl8192u, and drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi,
2526f1fad2SJes Sorensen	  but you will need to control which module you wish to load.
2626f1fad2SJes Sorensen
2726f1fad2SJes Sorensen	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will
286e597150SBitterblue Smith	  be called rtl8xxxu.  If unsure, say N.
