Adding the id didn't help. I added "hal/Hal8188FPwrSeq.o" next to
"hal/Hal8188EPwrSeq.o". Some parts were different.
After loading the firmware the driver said that the firmware wasn't
active. So I tweaked the firmware loading part a little. The signature
of the firmware in my driver is 0x88F0 instead of 0x88E0 and the
"normal-nic" firmware has 20306 bytes. By loading the "other" firmware
the firmware and driver says that it is "alive".
I disabled the "IOL" bits (like rtw_IOL_applied() which returns false).
It took long and didn't seem to succeed. My driver lacks most of the
code, rtw_IOL_applied() isn't referenced anyway and the ifdef isn't set.
I would continue to add more pieces in order to get it working unless
you have a different advice.
