When you post about a particular piece of hardware, please use the full name.
There are at least 3 different Realtek chips that have 8188 in their name.
Please do not make us have to assume what you mean.

If you want nl80211 support, you will need to add the necessary structures and
callbacks to the driver. Driver r8723au in the staging tree could serve as
sample code. If you do make these changes, they should be made as patches to the
driver in drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/.
