Dear All, Thank you kindly in advance for your help. Please forgive any trivial questions or mistakes by me. I am new to linux (1 month). Hope this is the proper place for such a question. Here goes. I have a number of tp-link tl-wn725n usb adapters that I want to use in laptops. The laptops are running debian wheezy v.7.8 fully updated. I can use the laptops with the tp-link adapters fine for web surfing, downloading a file, etc.. For such things my laptop tp-link combos work great, everything is fine. I installed the tp-link adapters via: http://brilliantlyeasy.com/ubuntu-linux-tl-wn725n-tp-link-version-2-wifi-driver-install/ using the following commands: apt-get update apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) apt-get update apt-get install build-essential apt-get install git git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu cd rtl8188eu make all make install insmod 8188eu.ko The problem is that when I attempt to vnc over an ssh connection to a debian box running either x11vnc or tightvncserver, I can make the connection, but then the laptop is freezes. This freeze happens withing 2 seconds of making the connection. When the laptop freezes the adapter lights go dark. The laptop becomes unresponsive, from what I can tell, and I have to do a hard reboot. I have tried vnc over ssh with same laptop over the ethernet nic with the tp-link wireless removed from the laptop and I have no problems. I have also tried another laptop, same behavior, vnc over ssh works with wired, freezes laptop with tp-link. laptops are lenovo x120e and z40-70, if this helps. Hopefully I have provided some good information that helps. Please let me know if there is something I've done wrong, such as missed the latest driver, etc. Happy to try to get this working and report back. Thank you kindly, anon _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
