Dear Linux wireless folks,
hopefully I am contacting the correct list. I am not able to use the
Realtek RTL8188CUS based USB WLAN device Edimax EW-7811Un.
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS]
The device did not work with Debian Wheezy with Linux 3.2.x, Debian
Sid/unstable with Linux 3.9.x, Ubuntu 12.04 with Linux 3.2.12 to 3.5 and
Ubuntu 13.04 with Linux 3.8. The person, from whom the device is from,
claims the device once worked with Ubuntu, but I do not know which
version and what WLAN type(?) this was with.
The behavior is always the same. The device is detected and the
NetworkManager applet `nm-applet` is also able to detect the available
networks. But wanting to connect to one and entering the correct
password, the connection cannot be established and I am asked for the
password again. I tested this with different systems and different
networks and also with wpa_supplicant. A Ralink based WLAN USB device
works just fine.
The Realtek RTL8188CUS WLAN device works also fine under Microsoft
Windows, so the device is functional.
Use a compat-wireless package from 3.10-rc1 or later. If that fails, then I will
give you a debug sequence to run.
