First of all, I added the wireless mailing list to my first reply. Never drop 
any items when replying - always use "Reply-to-all".

I don't know how to create a virtual interface and use it to inject packets, but 
I think it can be done. I was hoping that someone on the mailing list would 
provide a reference.

The TODO list is mine. I really have no interest in helping network crackers, 
even if your goals are honorable. You, however, are free to develop packet 
injection for the RTL8192CE. That is one of the benefits of using Linux.

Be aware that I am an unpaid volunteer and my work on drivers is aimed at 
helping the most users that I can. My current TODO list includes continuing 
reverse engineering support for the 802.11n Broadcom devices, adding a driver 
for the Realtek RTL8192DE, developing a mac80211-based driver for the RTL8187SE, 
developing a mac80211-based driver for the RTL8192SU, and maintaining general 
operations for the RTL8192CE, RTL8192CU, and RTL8192SE. That list will keep me 
busy for some time.
