Subject: unable to put RTL8192SU in master mode

Hi folks,
I have a USB dongle with realtek 8192SU wireless chipset and am using the 8712u linux driver.

Since this driver is not mac80211 compliant I am using iwconfig to change the mode to "master". Though this
command successfully changes the mode I am unable to connect to this AP from another station, even using
unsecured method. It does not even show up in the station scan list.  Are there some other params I need to 
set using iwconfig ?

Or is the 8712u driver not supporting master mode "sufficiently" enough ?...in which case is some latest
driver available for this thing?

Thanks
RK
