+# /etc/modprobe.d/8821cu.conf
+#
+# Purpose: Allow easy access to specific driver options.
+#
+# Warning: Some adapters based on the rtl8821cu chipset may require the
+# `rtw_RFE_type` option to be set. If wifi or bluetooth does not work
+# after driver installation, see the appropriate section in the below
+# documentation.
+#
+# Edit the following line to change, add or delete options:
+options 8821cu rtw_drv_log_level=0 rtw_led_ctrl=1 rtw_vht_enable=1 rtw_power_mgnt=1 rtw_dfs_region_domain=0
+#
+# After editing is complete, save this file (if using nano: Ctrl + x, y, Enter)
+# and reboot to activate the changes.
+#
+# Documentation:
+#
+# -----
+#
+# Log options ( rtw_drv_log_level )
+#
+# 0 = NONE (default)
+# 1 = ALWAYS
+# 2 = ERROR
+# 3 = WARNING
+# 4 = INFO
+# 5 = DEBUG
+# 6 = MAX
+#
+# Note: You can save a log file that only includes RTW log entries by running
+# the following in a terminal:
+#
+# sudo ./save-log.sh
+#
+# Note: The name of the log file will be ```rtw.log```.
+#
+# -----
+#
+# LED options ( rtw_led_ctrl )
+#
+# 0 = Always off
+# 1 = Normal blink (default)
+# 2 = Always on
+#
+# -----
+#
+# VHT options ( rtw_vht_enable )
+#
+#  0 = Disable
+#  1 = Enable (default)
+#  2 = Force auto enable (use only for 5 GHz AP mode)
+#
+# Notes:
+# - A non-default setting can degrade performance greatly in managed mode.
+# - Option 2 allows 80 MHz channel width for 5GHz AP mode, such as when
+#   you are using hostapd.
+#
+# -----
+#
+# Power options ( rtw_power_mgnt )
+#
+# 0 = Disable power saving
+# 1 = Power saving on, minPS (default)
+# 2 = Power saving on, maxPS (not recommended for AP mode)
+#
+# -----
+#
+# Country Code options ( rtw_country_code )
+#
+# Note: Allows the Country Code to be set in cases where it is unable to
+# be obtained from the operating system.
+#
+# Example for the US: rtw_country_code=US
+# Example for Panama: rtw_country_code=PA
+# Example for Norway: rtw_country_code=NO
+# Example for Kuwait: rtw_country_code=KW
+# Example for Taiwan: rtw_country_code=TW
+# 
+# -----
+#
+# DFS Options ( rtw_dfs_region_domain )
+#
+# 0 = NONE (default)
+# 1 = FCC
+# 2 = MKK
+# 3 = ETSI
+#
+# Notes:
+# - Activates DFS channels in AP mode.
+# - DFS FCC 80 MHz channels for hostapd: 52(58), 100(106), 116(122) and 132(138)
+# - For more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
+#
+# Note: An AP needs to listen on a DFS channel for a period of 60 seconds
+# before transmitting on the channel. If any radar pulses are detected,
+# the AP cannot use that channel and will have to try a different channel.
+#
+# -----
+#
+# Select P2P interface in concurrent mode ( rtw_sel_p2p_iface )
+#
+# 0 = Sets interface 0 to be p2p interface
+# 1 = Sets interface 1 to be p2p interface (default) 
+#
+# -----
+#
+# Select RFE type ( rtw_RFE_type )
+#
+# 0 = (2-Ant, DPDT), (2G_WLG, iPA, iLNA, iSW), (5G, iPA, iLNA, iSW)
+# 1 = (1-Ant, SPDT@Ant1), (2G_WLG, iPA, iLNA, iSW), (5G, iPA, iLNA, iSW)
+# 2 = (1-Ant, SPDT@Ant1) , (2G_BTG, iPA, iLNA, iSW), (5G, iPA, iLNA, iSW)
+# 3 = (1-Ant, DPDT@Ant2), (2G_WLG, iPA, iLNA, iSW), (5G, iPA, iLNA, iSW)
+# 4 = (1-Ant, DPDT@Ant2), (2G_BTG, iPA, iLNA, iSW), (5G, iPA, iLNA, iSW)
+# 5 = (2-Ant), (2G_WLG, iPA, iLNA, iSW), (5G, iPA, iLNA, iSW)
+# 6 = (2-Ant), (2G_WLG, iPA, iLNA, iSW), (5G, iPA, iLNA, iSW)
+# 7 = (1-Ant), (2G_BTG, iPA, iLNA, iSW), (5G, iPA, iLNA, iSW) (try this setting first)
+# 64 = this appears to be the default on adapters that do not support bluetooth
+#		
+# Note: RFE Type is used to set antenna isolation and the BT coexistence
+# mechanism. Some adapters require this setting and some do not. If wifi
+# does not work without this setting, the setting probably needs to be 
+# set. It may be necessary to try different settings to determine
+# which setting is optimal for your adapter.
