15 Say Y, if you want to use the ath9k/ath9k_htc radios together with
16 Bluetooth modules in the same system.

27 This module adds support for wireless adapters based on
28 Atheros IEEE 802.11n AR5008, AR9001 and AR9002 family
29 of chipsets. For a specific list of supported external
30 cards, laptops that already ship with these cards and
31 APs that come with these cards refer to ath9k wiki

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

38 config ATH9K_PCI
39 bool "Atheros ath9k PCI/PCIe bus support"
40 default y
41 depends on ATH9K && PCI
42 ---help---
43 This option enables the PCI bus support in ath9k.
44
45 Say Y, if you have a compatible PCI/PCIe wireless card.
46
47 config ATH9K_AHB
48 bool "Atheros ath9k AHB bus support"
49 depends on ATH9K
50 default n
51 ---help---
52 This option enables the AHB bus support in ath9k.
53
54 Say Y, if you have a SoC with a compatible built-in
55 wireless MAC. Say N if unsure.

58 bool "Atheros ath9k debugging"
59 depends on ATH9K && DEBUG_FS
60 select MAC80211_DEBUGFS
61 select RELAY
62 ---help---
63 Say Y, if you need access to ath9k's statistics for
64 interrupts, rate control, etc.
65
66 Also required for changing debug message flags at run time.

76 config ATH9K_DFS_CERTIFIED
77 bool "Atheros DFS support for certified platforms"
78 depends on ATH9K && CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
79 default n
80 ---help---
81 This option enables DFS support for initiating radiation on
82 ath9k. There is no way to dynamically detect if a card was DFS
83 certified and as such this is left as a build time option. This
84 option should only be enabled by system integrators that can
85 guarantee that all the platforms that their kernel will run on
86 have obtained appropriate regulatory body certification for a
87 respective Atheros card by using ath9k on the target shipping
88 platforms.
89
90 This is currently only a placeholder for future DFS support,
91 as DFS support requires more components that still need to be
92 developed. At this point enabling this option won't do anything
93 except increase code size.
94
95 config ATH9K_TX99
96 bool "Atheros ath9k TX99 testing support"
97 depends on ATH9K_DEBUGFS && CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
98 default n
99 ---help---
100 Say N. This should only be enabled on systems undergoing
101 certification testing and evaluation in a controlled environment.
102 Enabling this will only enable TX99 support, all other modes of
103 operation will be disabled.
104
105 TX99 support enables Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing.
106 SAR is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency(RF)
107 absorbed by the body when using a wireless device. The RF exposure
108 limits used are expressed in the terms of SAR, which is a measure
109 of the electric and magnetic field strength and power density for
110 transmitters operating at frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz.
111 Regulatory bodies around the world require that wireless device
112 be evaluated to meet the RF exposure limits set forth in the
113 governmental SAR regulations.
114
115 config ATH9K_WOW
116 bool "Wake on Wireless LAN support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
117 depends on ATH9K && PM
118 default n
119 ---help---
120 This option enables Wake on Wireless LAN support for certain cards.
121 Currently, AR9462 is supported.

124 bool "Atheros ath9k rfkill support" if EXPERT
125 depends on ATH9K
126 depends on RFKILL=y || RFKILL=ATH9K
127 default y
128 help
129 Say Y to have ath9k poll the RF-Kill GPIO every couple of
130 seconds. Turn off to save power, but enable it if you have
131 a platform that can toggle the RF-Kill GPIO.
