bool "Atheros/Qualcomm devices"
default y
---help---
If you have a wireless card belonging to this class, say Y.
Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the
kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all the
questions about these cards. If you say Y, you will be asked for
your specific card in the following questions.

Say Y, if you want to debug atheros wireless drivers.
Right now only ath9k makes use of this.

This option enables tracepoints for atheros wireless drivers.
Currently, ath9k makes use of this facility.

Say N. This should only be enabled in countries where
this feature is explicitly allowed and only on cards that
specifically have been tested for this.

Add ath6kl cleaned up driver Last May we started working on cleaning up ath6kl driver which is currently in staging. The work has happened in a separate ath6kl-cleanup tree: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath6kl-cleanup.git;a=summary After over 1100 (!) patches we have now reached a state where I would like to start discussing about pushing the driver to the wireless trees and replacing the staging driver. The driver is now a lot smaller and looks like a proper Linux driver. The size of the driver (measured with simple wc -l) dropped from 49 kLOC to 18 kLOC and the number of the .c and .h files dropped from 107 to 22. Most importantly the number of subdirectories reduced from 26 to zero :) There are two remaining checkpatch warnings in the driver which we decided to omit for now: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/debug.c:31: WARNING: printk() should include KERN_ facility level drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/sdio.c:527: WARNING: msleep < 20ms can sleep for up to 20ms; see Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt The driver has endian annotations for all the hardware specific structures and there are no sparse errors. Unfortunately I don't have any big endian hardware to test that right now. We have been testing the driver both on x86 and arm platforms. The code is also compiled with sparc and parisc cross compilers. Notable missing features compared to the current staging driver are: o HCI over SDIO support o nl80211 testmode o firmware logging o suspend support Testmode, firmware logging and suspend support will be added soon. HCI over SDIO support will be more difficult as the HCI driver needs to share code with the wifi driver. This is something we need to research more. Also I want to point out the changes I did for signed endian support. As I wasn't able to find any support for signed endian annotations I decided to follow what NTFS has done and added my own. Grep for sle16 and sle32, especially from wmi.h. Various people have been working on the cleanup, the hall of fame based on number of patches is: 543 Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan 403 Raja Mani 252 Kalle Valo 16 Vivek Natarajan 12 Suraj Sumangala 3 Joe Perches 2 Jouni Malinen Signed-off-by: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <vthiagar@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Raja Mani <rmani@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Vivek Natarajan <nataraja@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Suraj Sumangala <surajs@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>

ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices ath11k is a new driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices, first supporting only IPQ8074 SoC using the shared memory AHB bus. ath11k uses mac80211 and supports AP, Station and Mesh modes. Even though ath11k has some similar code as with ath10k (especially the WMI layer) it was concluded to be simpler to have a "clean start" for ath11k code base and not try to share the code with ath10k. This makes maintenance easier and avoids major changes in ath10k, which would have significantly increased the risk of regressions in existing setups. Even though the driver is very similar with ath10k but there are major differences as well. The datapath is completely different. ath11k supports multiple MACs, called "soc" in the firmware interface. And there's only one WMI interface to support. Currently ath11k supports only IEEE 802.11ac mode, but patches for 802.11ax are available and they will be submitted after ath11k is accepted to upstream. The firmware images are available from ath11k-firmware repository but they will be also submitted to linux-firmware: https://github.com/kvalo/ath11k-firmware This was tested with firmware version WLAN.HK.2.1.0.1-00629-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1.
