It is uglier than I had hoped. I was not quite ready to push it yet, but I got
some pressure from outside, non-Realtek, sources that a kernel version was
needed. They will, in fact, start their integration from the RFC/RFT version.
The main problem with having it in staging is that we will either have to
include headers from drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/, or duplicate them in the
drivers/staging/rtl8188ee/ directory where keeping them compatible will be a
hassle. Neither solution sounds optimum to me.
