Thanks Larry I'm confusing the issue here, by not getting the no's right. I was asking about the rtl8192su driver which I understand works in monitor mode. I assume this driver has been 'cleaned up' and become the r8712u. I was wondering if I could use an earlier version of the rtl8192su driver with the RTL8188SU and in doing so have the monitor mode.
To my knowledge, none of the Realtek, non-mac80211 drivers work in monitor mode; however, if you think they do, then you can get such drivers from realtek.com. Please be aware that there is a definite possibility that such drivers will not build on recent kernels. In addition, they are unlikely to work on 64-bit kernels. I keep sending patches to them, but such changes seem to not be implemented.
