Hi all,
I have a RTL8188CUS wireless USB adapter which I've been trying to
unsuccessfully use in WPA mode with the rtl8192cu driver. The adapter
reports itself in lsusb as follows:
0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter
What happens is that the adapter seems to repeatedly authenticate and
associate with the AP without passing data (although a couple of times I
have randomly managed to load a web page if I can catch the timing right).
The relevant excerpt from dmesg looks like this:

Can anyone provide any hints to debugging the issue? I've just updated
to Linus' latest git master from earlier today and the issue still
appears :(
Many thanks,
Mark.
