[...] I was wondering about a pretty similar question, do you see this driver as being potentially compatible with rtl8192su[1] or rtl8192du[2] devices or are these too different[3]? Regards Stefan Lippers-Hollmann [1] currently supported by the staging r8712u driver or https://github.com/chunkeey/rtl8192su ID 0bda:8171 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188SU 802.11n WLAN Adapter ID 0bda:8172 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8191SU 802.11n WLAN Adapter [2] currently no mainline support, https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8192du/commits/kernel-version as a dual-band device coming in multiple flavours, this might be a bit harder to support. ID 0bda:8194 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. [3] they obviously aren't covered yet, as rtl8xxxu doesn't know about their USB IDs/ firmware or initialisation routines (respectively 5 GHz support in case of rtl8192du). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
