I have a WLAN dongle with Realtek RTL8188S chip.

AFICT, you should be able to connect to a p2p-go peer
even if your device (in this case rtl8188s) only supports
station mode...
How do I do this?
Unfortunately the original Realtek driver from hp didn't
work with p2p too.
Why, what happens in this case?
I have downloaded the driver from:
http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=48&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8188SU
Installed and loaded the module 8712u.
"iw list" doesn't list p2p-client or p2p-go.
wpa_cli command p2p_find results in FAIL.
wpa_supplicant ouput:
CTRL_IFACE monitor attached - hexdump(len=21): 2f 74 6d 70 2f 77 70 61

-> but nothing more...
I thought RTL8192cu will work, but Larry F. told me it doesn't.
OK? (care to explain?)
He said there is a new driver in development.
Sort of. 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. Please can someone tell me about
the project, its status, and if someone can take part.
Hey that's good to hear. The future of "r92su" was discussed in [0],
[1], ... The good news is:
I followed the thread.
It shows me that it makes no sense. I am a beginner and I only can
spent time for it if someone tells me for example: fill this module with
code for this specific function. I have good literature and I think I
can try to help but not lead something.
Best regards
p2p
