> 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)
