Regarding the rtl8188eu driver, would it be acceptable to rewrite it to
use the rtlwifi interface instead of using mac80211 directly?

I can't help but notice some similarities between the structure of
rtl8188eu and the drivers from the rtlwifi family.  Then again, perhaps
I'm missing something that makes it a bad idea.

Thanks,
