I have Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8191SU 802.11n WLAN Adapter I
want to work with nl80211. I have taken Joshua Roys work from May.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=133644367402433&w=2
With this patch set the driver is loaded when I plug the device in but
no wlan0 interface is created.
Can someone point me in the right direction on how to create a wlan0
interface with rtlwifi drivers so I can make this work?

Hello,
That code is not complete and will not work. I'm not sure if I will be
able to work on it before the end of the year.
Thanks,
Josh

I am looking to work on it. I just need a little guidance on what is
left. Is there documentation on how the rltwifi code works?

I'm no expert since I've just started looking at it.
I've set up a repository over at github with the WIP v2
<https://github.com/chunkeey/rtl8192su> (standalone
driver based on the current rtlwifi driver from wt
plus Joshua's patches)
I'm as far as you. I can get the interface but
rfkill seems to have something against it.
I'm wondering a bit thought about the firmware.
Unlike other rtl8192 devices, it seems to be
some sort of full/soft-mac hybrid. Or what's
this "method 2" I'm reading about, is there
a "method 1" as well?
Regards,
Chr
Documentation wise: I think the best we have is
the original vendor driver from realtek and
r8712u [although, r8712u's TODO says that it
lacks some "fixes"]. Is this all, or is there
more to be found elsewhere?
