Hi all,
I want to work on the TODO tasks
- switch to use LIB80211
- switch to use MAC80211
for staging driver rtl8188eu.
How can I start? Where is the documentation?
Thanks

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.

I have the same problems with my RTL8821AU driver.
But I'm currently switching to rtlwifi-lib and of course
LIB80211/MAC80211.
Take the rtl8188ee as an example to rewrite/rename all functions in
hal/
os_dep/
You can also look at my repo at
github.com/ulli-kroll/rtl8821au.git

Thanks Larry,
