[RFC PATCH v2 0/4] wifi: rtl8xxxu: implement AP mode for 8188EU

From: Georg Müller

Date: Fri Mar 13 2026 - 09:20:24 EST


This series tries to implement AP mode for Realtek RTL8188EU chips.

This is not final. I still have issues connecting to the AP, searching for some
input on what may be the reason or how to further debug issues.

Patch 1 could be picked independently as it shouldn't change anything for the
non-AP mode.

Changes in v2:
- add patch to move dynamic_tx_rpt_timing_counter from ra_info to priv
- convert ra_info to a dynamic array
- update max report mac id after station add/remove
