Hi everyone, This is an old issue, about which it seems the first posts date back to 2009. With the latest possible version of the firmware for AR9271 and the latest possible wireless drivers, the issue is still there. Whether this is still the exact same problem every time remains to be checked, but it is annoying enough to deserve some consideration. The problem is that the driver can't talk to the device if the following conditions are met: - The system cold boots with the USB dongle inserted or the USB dongle is inserted on a running system. - The interface is *not* brought up. - The system (warm) reboots. Then the driver complains about the target being unresponsive after uploading the firmware. Apparently the only way to make it work again is to unplug and then plug the USB dongle back, physically. It seems that if the USB port is not powered down during reboot (which happens with at least two different setups that I've tested it with), the device is left in a broken state. I would gladly help in tracing down this bug if only I knew where to start. Thanks for any suggestion. Ignacy -- A person is shit's way of making more shit. -- S.
