I have downloaded the driver from:
http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=48&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8188SU
Installed and loaded the module 8712u.
"iw list" doesn't list p2p-client or p2p-go.
wpa_cli command p2p_find results in FAIL.
wpa_supplicant ouput:
CTRL_IFACE monitor attached - hexdump(len=21): 2f 74 6d 70 2f 77 70 61
5f 63 74 72 6c 5f 32 34 39 37 2d 32 00

I followed the thread.
It shows me that it makes no sense. I am a beginner and I only can
spent time for it if someone tells me for example: fill this module with
code for this specific function. I have good literature and I think I
can try to help but not lead something.
