83 Say N. This should only be enabled on systems undergoing

85 Enabling this will only enable TX99 support, all other modes of
86 operation will be disabled.
87
88 TX99 support enables Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing.
89 SAR is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency(RF)
90 absorbed by the body when using a wireless device. The RF exposure
91 limits used are expressed in the terms of SAR, which is a measure
92 of the electric and magnetic field strength and power density for
93 transmitters operating at frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz.
94 Regulatory bodies around the world require that wireless device
95 be evaluated to meet the RF exposure limits set forth in the
96 governmental SAR regulations.

102 help
103 This option enables DFS support for initiating radiation on
104 ath9k. There is no way to dynamically detect if a card was DFS
105 certified and as such this is left as a build time option. This
106 option should only be enabled by system integrators that can
107 guarantee that all the platforms that their kernel will run on
108 have obtained appropriate regulatory body certification for a
109 respective Atheros card by using ath9k on the target shipping
110 platforms.
111
112 This is currently only a placeholder for future DFS support,
113 as DFS support requires more components that still need to be
114 developed. At this point enabling this option won't do anything
