Things to keep in mind:
- rtlwifi offers AP mode support for rtl8192cu devices, rtl8xxxu doesn't (yet) do that. Should be relatively easy to add that on top of [1], though. - The rtl8192cu devices are currently hidden behind CONFIG_RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED in the rtl8xxxu driver with the comment "Still supported by rtlwifi".

Kalle,

I failed to consider this point. Please drop my patch. Instead, I will submit one to remove that configuration parameter that says the rtl8192cu is "untested".
