Hi,
I've recently bought a TP-Link TL-WN8200ND USB WiFi dongle, it uses the
Realtek 8192cu chipset.
After several attempts with different kernels (starting with 3.2.6) and
compat-wireless drivers, I'm still running into the same problem. The device
can successful scan for networks in reach, but cannot connect to any of
them, regardless the encryption (tried every mode, including no encryption
at all).
At the moment I'm using the kernel release 3.10.0-rc6 and the device is
still not recognized by the "rtl8192cu" driver module without manually
setting the device ID into the SySFS
"echo "2357 0100" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id"
No one had reported that this device used rtl8192cu, thus it is not in the
device tables, nor is it in the USB database as shown by the bare entry in your
lsusb output. Attached is a patch that will add your device to the tables. That
will be submitted to the maintainer relatively soon.
There were a number of changes to that driver that just appeared in 3.10-rc6.
These fixed a number of bug reports on the Red Hat bugzilla as shown in the
commit message for commit 5b8df24. I had built 3.10-rc6 from the mainline git
tree; however, I had not booted it till now. With it, my Edimax EW-7811Un
adapter with an RTL8188CUS chip could connect to WEP, WPA1 and WPA2 APs;
however, when I dug out my Alfa AWUS036NHR with an RTL8188RU chip, it could not
connect to any of my APs. I now need to check the results for the
wireless-testing git tree, which I normally use, to see if there is a difference
in the two trees.
