Why This File Exists

Repeatable hardware-adapter layer. Deep compatibility for every driver is out of scope; this atlas records patterns, probe lifecycles, bus glue, IRQ/DMA usage, and links back to core abstractions.

	  This is an alternative driver for various Realtek RTL8XXX
	  parts written to utilize the Linux mac80211 stack.
	  The driver is known to work with a number of RTL8723AU,
	  RL8188CU, RTL8188RU, RTL8191CU, RTL8192CU, RTL8723BU, RTL8192EU,
	  RTL8188FU, RTL8188EU, RTL8710BU (aka RTL8188GU), and RTL8192FU
	  devices.

	  This driver is under development and has a limited feature
	  set. In particular it does not yet support 40MHz channels
	  and power management. However it should have a smaller
	  memory footprint than the vendor drivers and benefits
	  from the in kernel mac80211 stack.

	  It can coexist with the rtlwifi driver but you will need
	  to control which module you wish to load.

	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will
	  be called rtl8xxxu.  If unsure, say N.

config RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED
	bool "Include support for untested Realtek 8xxx USB devices (EXPERIMENTAL)"
	depends on RTL8XXXU
	help
	  This option enables detection of Realtek 8723/8188/8191/8192 WiFi
	  USB devices which have not been tested directly by the driver
	  author or reported to be working by third parties.

	  Please report your results!

Implementation Notes

This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
