Hi, Thanks for the quick response. The driver is working fine. I tested Open, WEP mode and WPA2 is yet to be tested since iwpriv is not working as it is deprecated. I would like to ask a query regarding the firmware 1.Which is the firmware to be used ,rtl8192dufw.bin or rtl8192dufw_wol.bin ? I guess the firmware is rtl8192dufw.bin or do both the binaries together take care of firmware functionalities.? In the previous driver which I used,the firmware image was embedded one. Even without using the above binaries , everything is working fine. Is it really required to copy these binaries under system/lib/firmware path.? I am using Dual Band USB 2.O Wi-Fi Adaptor with RTL8192DU chipset.
The firmware with "wol" in its name is for Wake-On-Lan operation. The feature requires special configuration, and I have not tested it. At startup, the driver will load one or the other. If WOL is not enabled, only the regular firmware will be used. I extracted both versions before I eliminated the embedded data.
Adding a driver with embedded firmware to the standard kernel is frowned upon due to the several thousand lines of data. That is the reason that I extracted the firmware, and converted the driver to use external firmware. If your version of the driver has been converted, then you need at least the standard firmware in the /lib/firmware/ tree.
