There is no specific documentation for this device, only what is available in
the mac80211, cfg80211, and nl80211 code. You could also look at the drivers in
drivers/net/wireless/ for ideas. The driver must be rewritten. You could
consider Jes Sorensen's work on producing a mac80211 driver for the RTL8723AU
that has been posted on this mailing list. He started with a Realtek USB driver
that is similar to r8188eu.
