Subject: rtl8180 driver in master/ad-hoc mode
Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 16:53:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B756B4C.2090204@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I noticed that the rtl8180 (Realtek wireless PCI adapter) driver for Linux
doesn't support master or ad-hoc mode. However the rtl-wifi driver from
http://rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net does support these modes.
After a bit of investigation, I found out that the driver from the kernel is
not maintained by its original author anymore (no changes since 2007), while
rtl-wifi development is active.
My question is if rtl-wifi will make it into the kernel? rtl-wifi is actually a
fork of the old driver, but with a lot of added functionality. I'm sure that a
lot of folks would like to use their hardware to its full potential.
Thank you,
Radu Potop
