From a9289fed1d3114546b6de870f2b8613c9e693eb6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alman Khan Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2022 12:35:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8192e: Describe each kernel config option MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit An important thing people want to know is what each option that they select in their kernel configuration file actually does, so that they can select the right options for their system, and, once booted, make sure their hardware works as expected. Add more details describing each option in the kernel configuration for the rtl8192e (rtllib) driver so that the end-user understands what they mean, and, if necessary, enables/disables those features if they are not required.
