Hi,

Support for RTL8723AU devices was added to
wireless-drivers-next.git recently: https://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=144541406318463
commit: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers-next.git/commit/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_regs.h?id=26f1fad29ad973b0fb26a9ca3dcb2a73dde781aa

The new driver is remarkable, but removal of the staging driver should not be done quite yet.

The new one in the regular tree lacks a number of features. To quote from its commit message "This driver is still under development, but has proven to be very stable for me. It currently supports station mode only. It has support for OFDM and CCK rates. It does lack certain features found in the staging driver, such as power management, AMPDU, and 40MHz channel support. In addition it does not support AD-HOC, AP, and monitor mode support at this point."
