Hi,

after cutting away a lot of dead code from the rtl8192e I would like to 
understand the way forward to migrate the driver from wireless extension 
to cfg/mac80211.

What is the best way forward to migrate the driver rtl8192e towards the
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8192* ?

Does it have to be a hard cut?

What to start with?
  - start to change the used structs towards ieee80211_hw?

Thanks for your support.

Bye Philipp
