This appears to be a kernel driver bug. Please report this issue against the kernel driver in question, systemd is not the right place to work around that.

It's not a bug, it's a feature, just as true for the systemd. :) Given the condition of the entire Linux Wireless LAN stack this can go actually.

Correct.
Moreover the driver is actually only in the staging/ ("crap") tree which means it has known serious quality issues and needs work. You may want to forward your original bug report to Larry & Florian. See [1].

Lastly, please do _NOT_ cross-post to multiple unrelated mailing lists. The discussion then gets disconnected.

Thanks Lubo.

TODO:
- merge Realtek's bugfixes and new features into the driver
- switch to use LIB80211
- switch to use MAC80211
- checkpatch.pl fixes - only a few remain
...
Guys, is it gonna happen?
