Hi Larry,

A long time ago, I asked you about the status of the realtek 8192cu
driver in the mainline and for access points and you told me that it
would be eventually implemented, which was indeed.

Now I have another question regarding the 8712 driver which has been
in staging forever.

In your opinion, are there any chances that it will be improved to
reach the mainline level?

If so, would it be possible to use it as an access point with HostAPD,
or is it limited by the firmware?

Best regards,

--
