Interesting. I'll have to investigate more. I'm using kernel 2.6.32 for this system, so can't use the r8712u driver from the later kernel. When I ran the vendor rtl8712 driver, it worked well enough with the modules from the kernel, however, when I added compat-drivers to the build (which replaced the mac80211/cfg80211 modules that were already there), it crashed with an oops. More investigation is needed to know why this happens, but it must have something to do with compat-drivers, because that is the only difference. I removed compat-drivers from the build, and it went back to being fully working. Something must be interacting in a bad way.
