+ This module adds support for wireless adapters based on

+ If you choose to build a module, it'll be called ath9k.

+ Enabling this will only enable TX99 support, all other modes of
+ operation will be disabled.
+
+ TX99 support enables Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing.
+ SAR is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency(RF)
+ absorbed by the body when using a wireless device. The RF exposure
+ limits used are expressed in the terms of SAR, which is a measure
+ of the electric and magnetic field strength and power density for
+ transmitters operating at frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz.
+ Regulatory bodies around the world require that wireless device
+ be evaluated to meet the RF exposure limits set forth in the
+ governmental SAR regulations.

+ bool "Atheros DFS support for certified platforms"
+ depends on ATH9K && CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
+ default n
+ help
+ This option enables DFS support for initiating radiation on
+ ath9k. There is no way to dynamically detect if a card was DFS
+ certified and as such this is left as a build time option. This
+ option should only be enabled by system integrators that can
+ guarantee that all the platforms that their kernel will run on
+ have obtained appropriate regulatory body certification for a
+ respective Atheros card by using ath9k on the target shipping
+ platforms.
+
+ This is currently only a placeholder for future DFS support,
+ as DFS support requires more components that still need to be
+ developed. At this point enabling this option won't do anything
+ except increase code size.

+
+config ATH9K_CHANNEL_CONTEXT
