I successfully got all features to work after discovering that the wifi dongle works out of the box on the raspberrypi 3.6.11+ with all features. To make it work I had to : 1) Download the latest driver source from realtek : http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true (RTL8192CU) 2) Modify a source file as it is done here : https://github.com/ksclarke/rtl8192cu/commit/49568f94513ce945984a8a2f27457c6278ee674d 3) Build it. 4) Unload the rtl8192cu module (rmmod rtl8192cu) 5) Load the new-built module (insmod 8192cu.ko) Note that I did that on a x86_64 architecture with kernel 3.5.0-25 and that I could'nt get the driver to be built with kernel 3.8.2.

The method is being added to rtlwifi and the PCI-based drivers in patches that are now undergoing tests. They will likely be in kernel 3.10. Once that is done, I will be able to consider P2P for the USB-based driver. >> >> >> >> >> > > > As P2P is more of a mac feature which is already > > supported by mac80211 currently (Including p2p find), > > what additional support we need in the driver, Leaving NoA? > Kévin THIERRY -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
