I do not have any copies of a device with the RTL8192EU chip, thus I
would not be able to test any driver. In addition, I have had much
negative feedback from users, and little support from the Realtek USB
group. For those reasons, I will never work on another Realtek USB
driver that does not use mac80211.

Perhaps someone else will take that driver, work for hundreds of hours
to get it into a form that is acceptable for kernel inclusion, submit
it, and then maintain it. I can assure you that I am not the person to
do so.

At least it is good to know.
