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.
