Hi Witold, I am trying to do this with rtl8192e. One possibility is to take the following patch series as a starting point: https://yhbt.net/lore/all/1414604649-9105-1-git-send-email-tvboxspy@gmail.com/ For me as a beginner and hobbyist this is a huge task. I am happy when I can finish it until next summer. In case of questions feel free to ask. Bye Philipp
