Could you please tell me, where to find them? I have DPO_RT5572_LinuxSTA_2.6.0.1_20120629 which doesn't compile with HAS_CFG80211_SUPPORT=y because -DCONFIG_AP_SUPPORT, on which RT_CFG80211_SUPPORT relies, is broken. DPO_RT5572_LinuxSTA_2.6.1.3_20121022 removed the necessary broken AP code completely. > This thread is about the configuration API and > not about driver performance. I know. I tried to show, why WEXT as a whole is still necessary even if there is a mac80211 based driver, because of the weakness of rt2800usb: Nip it in the bud.
