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.
