[PATCH v3 0/1] rtl8xxxu (mac80211) driver for rtl8188[cr]u/rtl8192cu/rtl8723au

From: Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@xxxxxxxxxx>

Hi,

Here is an updated version of my rtl8xxxu driver for RTL8188[CR]U,
RTL8192CU, RTL8723AU devices. This version fixes up a few bugs since
the v2 patch, as well as addresses the feedback received. It now
obtains the short-preamble information from the vif in the TX
function, and the driver was moved to
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/

Per default only devices I have actually tested will be enabled. If
you are interested in trying it out with other 8188cu/8188ru/819[12]cu
dongles, you need to enable CONFIG_RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED. Please report
test results back to me.

Note if you enable this driver, it may clash with CONFIG_RTL8192U,
CONFIG_R8723AU, and CONFIG_RTL8192CU (rtlwifi). Please pay attention
to which module you load and/or use modprobe blacklists. There are
already conflicts between these existing drivers in the kernel, and
unfortunately there is nothing I can do about this.

This driver is still work in progress. I have used it as my primary
driver for the last nine months, and I find it to be very stable. It
seems suitable for mainline inclusion at this point.

This patch is relative to wireless-drivers-next

Cheers,
