trying to add rfkill support to realtek driver for rtl8192e

trying to add rfkill support to realtek driver for rtl8192e

[saurav barik]

Hi,

I am trying to implement rfkill support for realtek driver for rtl8192e.
The realtek driver we are using is very much similar to the one in
kernel 2.6.31.5(linux-2.6.31.5/drivers/staging/rtl8192su).
In order to use "wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state", I need "struct wiphy"
which in turn is a part of "ieee80211_hw" structure.
However ieee80211_hw is not used in our driver.
Is the usage of 80211_hw is obsolete?
Without having the above structure how can I use the rfkill interface?

Anybody aware of this, please share some pointers.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Saurav

  No, 
  the rtl8192e need to be updated to support ieee80211_hw in order to be 
  merged to Linux kernel main tree.

  The rtl8192e Linux drive structure is similar with the ipw2200, maybe you 
  can refer to the "struct wiphy" support within it.
