+define KernelPackage/rtl8xxxu/description
+ This is an alternative driver for various Realtek RTL8XXX
+ parts written to utilize the Linux mac80211 stack.
+ The driver is known to work with a number of RTL8723AU,
+ RL8188CU, RTL8188RU, RTL8191CU, and RTL8192CU devices
+
+ This driver is under development and has a limited feature
+ set. In particular it does not yet support 40MHz channels
+ and power management. However it should have a smaller
+ memory footprint than the vendor drivers and benetifs
+ from the in kernel mac80211 stack.
+
+ It can coexist with drivers from drivers/staging/rtl8723au,
+ drivers/staging/rtl8192u, and drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi,
+ but you will need to control which module you wish to load.
+
+ RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED is enabled
+ This option enables detection of Realtek 8723/8188/8191/8192 WiFi
+ USB devices which have not been tested directly by the driver
+ author or reported to be working by third parties.
+
+ Please report your results!
