Subject: [PATCH 00/11] staging: rtl8192e: Remove functions rawtx and promisc

The Linux kernel authors consider "wireless tools" package deprecated. The
"wireless extension" is also deprecated. Start to remove private functions
of "wireless extensions" that can only be accessed by "wireless tools"
from driver.

Tested with rtl8192e (WLL6130-D99) in Mode n (12.5 MB/s)
Transferred this patch over wlan connection of rtl8192e.
