Thank you Ali for your reply email. One can wonder why you continue to
develop this driver, and still the most interesting place: (Maybe you
can help me by passing this information in any other developer in a
position to write the full realization of this driver? The average
user like me, they are unlikely to be listen, and you as the developer
will have to listen. Perhaps you have the opportunity to publish this
information in the Linux kernel mailing list or linuxdrivers.org? or
have any contacts who can I turn? itself does not implement realtek
drivers for their devices under Linux?
with respect, Alexander Anishchenko

Good day,
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/staging/rtl8712/TODO,
there indicated that in a short time you make a "switch to use
MAC80211" and as what about "nl80211" I want to do from wi fi card,
access point, by means of hostapd, but in this implementation, the
driver who is at the core, this is impossible, in which release of
the kernel will be implemented this functionality the driver?
Yes, I was the one who had volunteered to try the implementation.
But,
unfortunately, I can't work on this driver anymore; I stopped in
September. So, as far as I know, this is not going to happen anytime
soon.
regards,
ali
