That I know, but "code first" still applies. If the comparison between rtl8192ce
and rtl8192cu has any validity for the rtl8192s varieties, roughly half of this
driver will be shared. In addition, we do have all the USB plumbing in place,
but we are still talking about a few thousand lines of code. At last contact,
Realtek has no interest in this project, thus I will be on my own.
