New driver: rtl8xxxu (mac80211)

2015-10-21T07:53:29Z

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) Signed-off-by: Jes Sorensen Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

rtlwifi: rtl818x: Move drivers into new realtek directory

2015-10-14T10:33:10Z

Now that a new mac80211-based driver for Realtek devices has been submitted, it is time to reorganize the directories. Rather than having directories rtlwifi and rtl818x be in drivers/net/wireless/, they will now be in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/. This change simplifies the directory structure, but does not result in any configuration changes that are visable to the user. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

add mt7601u driver

2015-05-28T08:33:20Z

Add support for the simplest of MediaTek Wi-Fi devices - MT7601U. It is a single stream bgn chip with no bells or whistles. This driver is partially based on Felix's mt76 but IMHO it doesn't make sense to merge the two right now because MT7601U is a design somewhere between old Ralink devices and new Mediatek chips. There wouldn't be all that much code sharing with the devices mt76 supports. Situation may obviously change when someone decides to extend m76 with support for the more recent USB dongles. The driver supports only station mode. I'm hoping to add AP support when time allows. This driver sat on GitHub for quite a while and got some testing there: http://github.com/kuba-moo/mt7601u Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

net: fix USB network driver config option.

2014-08-06T23:00:20Z

It must be tristate to avoid broken dependencies with kernel built-in usb network drivers when usb support is module only. When net config option is set, least surprize default should match usb. Wireless RNDIS USB driver used to select USB_USBNET. USB_USBNET now depends on USB_NET_DRIVERS so the latter should be selected as well. Signed-off-by: Francois Romieu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

wireless: Kconfig: add missing dependency for airo_cs

2014-03-14T18:49:15Z

commit 4c59ff221e070 "wireless: Kconfig: add missing dependency" added a number of 'depends on CFG80211' statements, but missed the AIRO_CS driver that also causes the airo.c file to be built. This adds the (hopefully) last such missing statement Cc: "Zhao, Gang" Cc: "John W. Linville" Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

drivers/net/wireless: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

2013-01-22T20:01:35Z

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs. Acked-by: John W. Linville Acked-by: David S.
