From: Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@xxxxxxxxxx> This is a new driver for the rtl8723au which was written from scratch, to utilize the Linux mac80211 stack. This has been a pet project for me for some time I finally feel it is stable enough to submit. I have used it for a while without any serious issues. I started working on cleaning up the vendor provided driver in staging/rtl8723au over a year ago. After spending 6 months on it, it became obvious to me that it was a rather hopeless task, and I started writing this driver from scratch. I do not have any specs for the chip, so everything is based on knowledge I obtained from dissecting the vendor driver. Special thanks to Larry Finger for help with the original rtl8723au driver, and Johannes Berg for answering all my silly questions about 802.11 innards and the mac80211 stack. Had I known then what I know today about 802.11, I probably would never have so mad as to start this project in the first place!
