    New driver: rtl8xxxu (mac80211) · 26f1fad2
    Jes Sorensen authored
    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)
