I added "hal/Hal8188FPwrSeq.o" next to "hal/Hal8188EPwrSeq.o". Some parts were different. After loading the firmware the driver said that the firmware wasn't active. So I tweaked the firmware loading part a little. The signature of the firmware in my driver is 0x88F0 instead of 0x88E0 and the "normal-nic" firmware has 20306 bytes. By loading the "other" firmware the firmware and driver says that it is "alive". I disabled the "IOL" bits (like rtw_IOL_applied() which returns false). It took long and didn't seem to succeed. My driver lacks most of the code, rtw_IOL_applied() isn't referenced anyway and the ifdef isn't set. I would continue to add more pieces in order to get it working unless you have a different advice. > Larry Sebastian
