Sigo pensando que con que funcione bien ya se podría mandar al kernel,
pero se empeñó en reescribirlo para meterle todas las funcionalidades.

Un saludo:

Oh, I don't think it's that as easy as "blame wext". Cfg80211 has a
good deal of wext-cfg80211 glue code and this is supposed to work.

Don't know. But if it crashes, it should have no problem to capture
the BUG or WARN.

Well, I added a line in the Readme.md to tell people to send issues
to: <linux-w...@vger.kernel.org>. This is because other people -
like Johannes (cfg80211), Alan (usb-subsystem) and Larry (Realtek) -
are a great asset when it comes to explain "weird stuff going on".

Thanks to your investigations I decided to deprecate r92su in
favour for a rtl8192su reboot.

Bueno ... si tiene ganas de trabajar ... déjalo :)
Andas liado con el livebox 2 ?
Al final creo que sí podré conseguir un vr3025u ... ya contaré.

Saludos.
