Hopefully yes. You can download a git-repository with the latest driver from: <https://github.com/chunkeey/rtl8192su> The latest incarnation "r92su" is currently the best bet on getting a proper driver into the mainline. Unlike its predecessor rtl8192su it uses cfg80211 directly (yes, unfortunately. it is a stand-alone driver with no dependencies on rtlwifi). what works with r92su: Station Mode & passive monitor 802.11b/g/n (yes, HT is working - in both directions) WEP40/104,TKIP and CCMP (WPA and WPA2 works) Defragmentation QoS/WMM ERP What isn't: AD-Hoc Fragmentation (also broken in r8712u... It would work, if the fw wouldn't override the sequence counter on out-going frames) SDIO transport > If so, would it be possible to use it as an access point with HostAPD, > or is it limited by the firmware? Apparently there is a AP firmware. But you have to ask Realtek for the right firmware.
