Hi,
I've been unable to activate the p2p feature on my WiFi dongle (which
otherwise works fine).
iwpriv command returns "wlan1 no private ioctls."
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.5.0-25 and the WiFi dongle is a
Netgear model wna1000m (driver rtl8192cu).
I've also tried with kernel 3.8.2 with the same result.
Thanks,
Kévin THIERRY

P2P is not yet implemented in rtl8192cu. The method is being added to rtlwifi
and the PCI-based drivers in patches that are now undergoing tests. They will
likely be in kernel 3.10. Once that is done, I will be able to consider P2P for
the USB-based driver.
FWIW, the use of iwpriv for things like this has been discontinued. Check the
use of iw.

I successfully got all features to work after discovering that the wifi
dongle works out of the box on the raspberrypi 3.6.11+ with all
features.
To make it work I had to :
1) Download the latest driver source from realtek :
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true
(RTL8192CU)
2) Modify a source file as it is done here :
https://github.com/ksclarke/rtl8192cu/commit/49568f94513ce945984a8a2f27457c6278ee674d
3) Build it.
4) Unload the rtl8192cu module (rmmod rtl8192cu)
5) Load the new-built module (insmod 8192cu.ko)
Note that I did that on a x86_64 architecture with kernel 3.5.0-25 and
that I could'nt get the driver to be built with kernel 3.8.2.
