Subject: rtl8180: the network interface is not anymore created
Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2008 17:10:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200812211710.23846.rossi.f@inwind.it> (raw)

I was using successfully the rtl8180 driver but after last git-pull the 
network interface (wlan0) is not anymore created.

I have discovered the problem: there has been a change in mac80211, commit 
3fc7826b95521e40cf53f63437a5fdcc24e54ac4. The problem is that the bit 
NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION is not set during the hardware initialization.

I guess that the problem might be solved inserting the following line of code

    dev->wiphy->interface_modes = BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION);

somewhere in rtl8180_dev.c but I don't know which is the right point to do so.

Regards,
Fabio
