I do not have any copies of a device with the RTL8192EU chip, thus I<br>
would not be able to test any driver. In addition, I have had much<br>
negative feedback from users, and little support from the Realtek USB<br>
group. For those reasons, I will never work on another Realtek USB<br>
driver that does not use mac80211.<br>
<br>
Perhaps someone else will take that driver, work for hundreds of hours<br>
to get it into a form that is acceptable for kernel inclusion, submit<br>
it, and then maintain it. I can assure you that I am not the person to<br>
do so.<br>
