rtwn(4), urtwn(4): merge common code, add support for 11ac devices.
All devices:
- add support for rate adaptation via ieee80211_amrr(9);
- use short preamble for transmitted frames when needed;
- multi-bss support:
* for RTL8821AU: 2 VAPs at the same time;
* other: 1 any VAP + 1 sta VAP.
RTL8188CE:
- fix IQ calibration bug (reason of significant speed degradation);
- add h/w crypto acceleration support.
USB:
- A-MPDU Tx support;
- short GI support;
Other:
- add support for RTL8812AU / RTL8821AU chipsets
(a/b/g/n only; no ac yet);
- split merged code into subparts:
* bus glue (usb/*, pci/*, rtl*/usb/*, rtl*/pci/*)
* common (if_rtwn*)
* chip-specific (rtl*/*)
- various other bugfixes.
Due to code reorganization, module names / requirements were changed too:
urtwn urtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_usb rtwnfw
rtwn rtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_pci rtwnfw
Tested with RTL8188CE, RTL8188CUS, RTL8188EU and RTL8821AU.

|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
|
|
|
place the following lines in your
|
|
|
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
|
|
|
.Cd "device rtwn_pci"
|
|
|
|
|

|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
driver supports PCIe wireless network devices based on the Realtek
|
|
|
|
|
RTL8188CE chipset.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The RTL8188CE is a highly integrated 802.11n adapter that combines a MAC,
|
|
|
|
|
a 1T1R capable baseband and an RF in a single chip.
|
|
|
|
|
It operates in the 2GHz spectrum only.
