This bug is a confusing mix of issues and it seems to be fixed. Just
use network manager.
Hi Dan! Thank you for your reply!
I gave it another try, then. The behavior was the same as described
before, and the device failed to work, as before. That's with kernel
3.19.0 and NetworkManager 0.9.10 (both from the latest stable Ubuntu
release).
The last commenter on that bug report appears to have given up on
helping fix it after finding a version of Realtek's driver patched to
work on recent kernels... So, what I've been offering. I find myself
hoping that my work hasn't in fact slowed down the actual bug getting fixed.
If there are still an issues we can start a new
thread with Larry Finger and linux-wireless in the CC list.
That would probably help, yes. Thanks, Dan. :)
In the meanwhile, shouldn't we officially consider the affected devices
unsupported? I don't very much like the idea of people buying said
devices in good faith and then realizing that they're in fact not usable
on Linux by default. (Mind, I have no idea what the proper policy is in
those matter. Does this suggestion make any sense?)
Cheers,
