I have a D-Link DWA-140 USB Wi-Fi device which is rt2800 based (5392 chipset). I've been testing it on a BeagleBone Black running an Ubuntu 16.04 image (4.4.6 kernel). 1) Install Ubuntu 16.04 on a BeagleBone Black. 2) Add lines to /etc/network/interfaces for the device to connect to a WPA2 access point. 3) Plug the rt2800 USB Wi-Fi device into the BeagleBone Black. Apparently when it tries to connect to the access point, I get a kernel panic. If I don't configure it (step 2 above) then the kernel panic doesn't happen. I've tested this with two access points: my Android phone acting as a hotspot, and a cheap TP-Link TD-W8968. Serial debug console shows: [ 306.884793] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x07 failed for offset 0x1004 with error -110 [ 306.996804] ieee80211 phy0:
