AFICT, you should be able to connect to a p2p-go peer even if your device (in this case rtl8188s) only supports station mode... > Unfortunately the original Realtek driver from hp didn't > work with p2p too.

There's r92su, however this driver only supports what the firmware is able to do (station, ad-hoc and a limited monitor mode). > I'm searching for information.

The good news is: José Vázquez discovered that Realtek has produced two linux drivers for these devices. The first is r8712u (we all know). But the other driver (and more importantly: the firmware) I think can be used as a good base for a rtl8192su+rtlwifi driver (which could even support AccessPoint-mode and also monitor-mode with injection). You can get the source for this driver from this image [2]. The driver is located in: Edimax/src/kernel/linux-2.6.18.8/drivers/usb/net/8192su The firmware + phy values: Edimax/src/kernel/linux-2.6.18.8/usr/ramfs/usr/rtl8192su However, there's much that needs to be done. So, if you want to help you can "kickstart" the port :-).
