30	  This module adds support for wireless adapters based on

32	  of chipsets. For a specific list of supported external

39	  If you choose to build a module, it'll be called ath9k.

43	default y
44	depends on ATH9K && PCI
45	---help---
46	  This option enables the PCI bus support in ath9k.
47

55	  This option enables the AHB bus support in ath9k.

82	depends on ATH9K_DEBUGFS && CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
83	default n
84	---help---
85	  Say N. This should only be enabled on systems undergoing
86	  certification testing and evaluation in a controlled environment.
87	  Enabling this will only enable TX99 support, all other modes of
88	  operation will be disabled.
89
90	  TX99 support enables Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing.
91	  SAR is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency(RF)
92	  absorbed by the body when using a wireless device. The RF exposure
93	  limits used are expressed in the terms of SAR, which is a measure
94	  of the electric and magnetic field strength and power density for
95	  transmitters operating at frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz.
96	  Regulatory bodies around the world require that wireless device
97	  be evaluated to meet the RF exposure limits set forth in the
98	  governmental SAR regulations.

100config ATH9K_DFS_CERTIFIED
101	bool "Atheros DFS support for certified platforms"
102	depends on ATH9K && CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
103	default n
104	---help---
105	  This option enables DFS support for initiating radiation on
106	  ath9k. There is no way to dynamically detect if a card was DFS
107	  certified and as such this is left as a build time option. This
108	  option should only be enabled by system integrators that can
109	  guarantee that all the platforms that their kernel will run on
110	  have obtained appropriate regulatory body certification for a
111	  respective Atheros card by using ath9k on the target shipping
112	  platforms.
113
114	  This is currently only a placeholder for future DFS support,
115	  as DFS support requires more components that still need to be
116	  developed. At this point enabling this option won't do anything
117	  except increase code size.
118
119config ATH9K_DYNACK

130	depends on ATH9K && PM
131	default n
132	---help---

140	default y
141	help
142	  Say Y to have ath9k poll the RF-Kill GPIO every couple of
143	  seconds. Turn off to save power, but enable it if you have
144	  a platform that can toggle the RF-Kill GPIO.
145
146config ATH9K_CHANNEL_CONTEXT
147	bool "Channel Context support"
148	depends on ATH9K
149	default n
150	---help---
151	  This option enables channel context support in ath9k, which is needed
152	  for multi-channel concurrency. Enable this if P2P PowerSave support
153	  is required.

164	help
165	  This separate driver provides a loader in order to support the
166	  AR500X to AR92XX-generation of ath9k PCI(e) WiFi chips, which have
167	  their initialization data (which contains the real PCI Device ID
168	  that ath9k will need) stored together with the calibration data out
169	  of reach for the ath9k chip.
170
171	  These devices are usually various network appliances, routers or
172	  access Points and such.
