So r8712u might work perfectly well for you and your 1.1 USB hcd. But from the logs he posted I think it's not just a wacky driver or firmware "problem". usb 1-1: restart device (4) usb 1-1: firmware upload failed (-110). usb 1-1: Failed to restart device (-110). ieee80211 phy0: writing reg 0x1c36f0 (val 0x5000) failed (-5) usb 1-1: no command feedback received (-110). carl9170 cmd: 08 01 00 00 04 01 1d 00 03 00 00 00 ............ usb 1-1: restart device (6) writing reg 0x1d0104 (val 0x3) failed (-110) usb 1-3: no command feedback received (-110). carl9170 cmd: 08 01 00 00 f0 36 1c 00 00 24 00 00 .....6...$.. usb 1-3: restart device (6) writing reg 0x1c36f0 (val 0x2400) failed (-110) lost 3 command responses/traps! w:13 g:0 >From the logs he posted, It's obvious that command and data frames are dropped along the way. Now, this is fatal for carl9170 and *maybe* for rt2800usb too.
