Hello,
I have the tp-link tl-wn822N usb wifi dongle. lsbusb reports it as
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 2357:0108
Unfortunately with the in-kernel rtl8xxxu driver I don't get very good
results:
wifi1 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"HOME"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point:
30:B5:C2:75:A4:CD
Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=26/70 Signal level=-84 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:165 Missed beacon:0
At the same time if I use an out of tree driver acquired from github:
https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver I get the following:
wifi1 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"HOME" Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point:
30:B5:C2:75:A4:CD
Bit Rate:144.4 Mb/s Sensitivity:0/0
Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=81/100 Signal level=100/100 Noise level=0/100
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Clearly this is a software problem of the in-kernel driver. I'm using
v4.10.17 with commit c14239f23adb ("rtl8xxxu: Add another 8192eu device
to the USB list") so that my device is recognised. Latest commit for
that driver in my kernel is: c59f13bbead4 ("rtl8xxxu: Work around issue
with 8192eu and 8723bu devices not reconnecting").
Any ideas what I can do to further debug this, I'd really like to use
the in-kernel driver ?
