If I remember correctly, the RTL8188SU uses r8712u as the driver. That driver does not work in monitor mode (as an AP). I have been trying to find the problem, but the time that I have available is limited. Sorry, Larry ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

This driver has no real support for monitor mode just station and a bit of adhoc. I put Josh' rtl8192su patches into a git repository <https://github.com/chunkeey/rtl8192su> and started adding things. This driver already does support monitor mode and can connect to an legacy accesspoint. However as you can see the TODO list that comes with the driver is quite long and a lot of important stuff is on it too. Regards, Chr ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

The chip? Yes, it belongs to the same family as far as I can tell. [In fact I have a device with a 8188SU chip too] > I know the 8192su was replaced with the 8712u This is probably something Larry has to answer. r8712u seems to be a "cleaned-up" version of r8192s_usb (which is/was the vendor driver?). rtl8192su will make use of the rtlwifi framework [which is already used by the drivers for rtl8192cu/ce/se/de...]. So it won't have much in common with r8712u. > but could I revert? Well, this is getting confusing ;) Can you explain what you want reverted?

I was wondering if I revert to using the 'old' driver, 8192u, with the rtl8188su and you seem to suggest yes?

The USB_DEVICE table for 8192u is: {USB_DEVICE(0x0bda, 0x8709)}, {USB_DEVICE(0x07aa, 0x0043)}, {USB_DEVICE(0x050d, 0x805E)}, {USB_DEVICE(0x0df6, 0x0031)}, {USB_DEVICE(0x1740, 0x9201)}, {USB_DEVICE(0x2001, 0x3301)}, {USB_DEVICE(0x5a57, 0x0290)}, {USB_DEVICE(0x043e, 0x7a01)}, I have an extensive collection of Realtek devices; however, I have never seen any of these.

I was asking about the rtl8192su driver which I understand works in monitor mode. I assume this driver has been 'cleaned up' and become the r8712u. I was wondering if I could use an earlier version of the rtl8192su driver with the RTL8188SU and in doing so have the monitor mode. regards Cliff ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

To my knowledge, none of the Realtek, non-mac80211 drivers work in monitor mode; however, if you think they do, then you can get such drivers from realtek.com. Please be aware that there is a definite possibility that such drivers will not build on recent kernels. In addition, they are unlikely to work on 64-bit kernels. I keep sending patches to them, but such changes seem to not be implemented. Larry ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread
