I am attempting to use a Realtek USB dongle as an access point on

The USB ID is 0bda:8176, which makes this an rtlwifi:rtl8192cu
device.
What kernel are you running? The latest is in wireless-testing, but that will be
difficult to clone as long as kernel.org is out of commission. In addition,
there are two patches that were sent on 9/3, but have not yet been incorporated
due to the k.o problems. They are attached.
I just got a Powermac G4 and I'm fixing the big-endian issues, but that is
clearly not your problem.
