4      Functional Description

4.1     Functional Block Diagram

It combines CMOSMAC,Baseband PHYand RF in a single chip for IEEE802.11/b/g/n compatible. It supports IEEE802.11i safety protocol, along with IEEE802.11e standard service quality. It supports the new data encryption on 64/128 bit WEP and safety mechanism on WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, WPA/WPA2.It can implement the wireless network function on the laptop/desktop/MID and other wireless devices easily

+CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=y

+CONFIG_WEXT_PRIV=y

+CONFIG_WLAN_VENDOR_RSI=y

+CONFIG_CLKDEV_LOOKUP=y

+++ drivers/net/wireless/realtek/Kconfig

+source "drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8188eus/Kconfig"

+++ drivers/net/wireless/realtek/Makefile

+obj-$(CONFIG_RTL8188EU)      += rtl8188eus/

get driver from : https://github.com/quickreflex/rtl8188eus

add include/autoconf.h for support ap+sta ,but ap driver is not compatible with linux.4.14.y kernel version, beause of manufacturer no longer maintain rtl8188eus drivers. So ap mode not work properly….

5.2     Application Interface

After the usb wifi rtl8188eus driver was loaded , we can find wlan0 wlan1 network devices
