+define KernelPackage/rtl8xxxu/description
+  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, and RTL8192CU 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 benetifs
+  from the in kernel mac80211 stack.
+
+  It can coexist with drivers from drivers/staging/rtl8723au,
+  drivers/staging/rtl8192u, and drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi,
+  but you will need to control which module you wish to load.
+
+  RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED is enabled
+  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!
