[OpenWrt-Devel] ar71xxx + rtl8188eu

Anyone have any luck getting the realtek 8188eu USB WiFi chipset working on mips ar71xxx?

i am trying to get the following two devices to get an alfa hornet and and alfa AWUS036NHV long range USB WiFi adapter 
to communicate.

http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/alfa.network/hornet-ub
http://www.amazon.com/Alfa-AWUS036NHV-802-11n-Wireless-N-Removable/dp/B00LU4D5N4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1416790367&sr=8-4&keywords=alfa

I just downloaded a fresh copy of CC (r43350) and selected the rtl8188eu driver under kernel modules->wireless drivers.  
the kernel module compiles and loads.  dmesg shows that the device is detected.  However a wlan interface is not created 
for the device.

putting the module into debug mode shows that the driver can't read the EEPROM.

the incorrect mac address is assigned to the device... the device never shows up in iwconfig or iw list


a similar problem is described for the lwfinger version of the driver discussed here.

https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu/issues/75

any ideas?

here is the full debug=8 log.
