Sounds a bit like OpenWFD [0], or is this unrelated?

Ok?!

rtl8192cu has around 8600 LOCs, rtl8192se has around 10700. That said,
realtek's own 8190n driver comes in at 90 000+ LOCs driver [of course,
that driver comes with its own stack, sme and maybe a few other bells
and whiles]. I guess the answer here is really: take what ever number
you prefer :-D.
