AR6003 is a single stream, SDIO based 802.11 chipset from Atheros optimized for mobile and embedded devices. ath6kl is a cfg80211 driver for AR6003 and supports both the station and AP mode of operation. Station mode supports 802.11 a/b/g/n with HT20 on 2.4/5GHz and HT40 only on 5GHz. Some of the other features include WPA/WPA2, WPS, WMM, WMM-PS, and BT coexistence. AP mode can be operated only in b/g mode with support for a subset of features mentioned above. The driver supports cfg80211 but comes with its own set of wext ioctls which have historically supported some of our customers with features like BT 3.0 and AP mode of operation. For further details, please refer to: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath6kl The driver requires firmware that runs on the chip's network processor. The majority of it is stored in ROM. The binaries that are downloaded and executed from RAM are as follows: 1) Patch against the code in ROM for bug fixes and feature enhancements. 2) Code to copy the data from the OTP region of the memory into RAM. 3) Calibration file carrying board specific data. The above files need to be present in the directory '/lib/firmware/ath6k/AR6003/hw2.0/' for the driver to initialize the chip upon enumeration. The files can be downloaded from the link specified at the following location: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath6kl#Download This driver is only provided in the interim while we work on the mac80211 replacement, ath6k. Once the mac80211 driver achieves feature parity with the ath6kl driver, the ath6kl will be deprecated and removed from staging.

---help---
|
|
This option allows you to select a number of drivers that are
|
|
not of the "normal" Linux kernel quality level. These drivers
|
|
are placed here in order to get a wider audience to make use of
|
|
them. Please note that these drivers are under heavy
|
|
development, may or may not work, and may contain userspace
|
|
interfaces that most likely will be changed in the near
|
|
future.
|
|
|
|
Using any of these drivers will taint your kernel which might
|
|
affect support options from both the community, and various
|
|
commercial support organizations.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to work on these drivers, to help improve them, or
|
|
to report problems you have with them, please see the
|
|
driver_name.README file in the drivers/staging/ directory to
|
|
see what needs to be worked on, and who to contact.
|
|
|
|
If in doubt, say N here.

---help---
|
|
Are you sure you really want to build the staging drivers?
|
|
They taint your kernel, don't live up to the normal Linux
|
|
kernel quality standards, are a bit crufty around the edges,
|
|
and might go off and kick your dog when you aren't paying
|
|
attention.
|
|
|
|
Say N here to be able to select and build the Staging drivers.
|
|
This option is primarily here to prevent them from being built
|
|
when selecting 'make allyesconfg' and 'make allmodconfig' so
|
|
don't be all that put off, your dog will be just fine.
