![]() And they do this without signing a NDA agreement nor even being offered a free device for testing/development. This forces the volunteer Linux driver developers to rewrite almost the entire Realtek driver for mainline inclusion. ![]() They also don't assign any human resources if/when the driver is brought into the "staging" area. Realtek (the maker of that wireless chip) is somewhat Linux friendly, and they typically create a Linux driver, but they have an annoying habit of using very little of the current Linux wireless/network infrastructure in that driver. This is where drivers that are "outside of the kernel" are first sent to get them into shape for inclusion in the main Linux source code tree. The r8712u driver is in the "staging" portion of the kernel tree. The only suggestion I can give is to simply wait for a while.
