this is more of a quick FYI, regarding Staging's r8712u driver.
root@hashbang Tue Jun 21 18:30:06 ~$ iwconfig wlan2 essid "h55m"
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
SET failed on device wlan2 ; Operation not permitted.
root@hashbang Tue Jun 21 18:30:47 ~$ uname -r
is implemented. Your command failed because you ran the command as
an unprivileged user. Notice the differences in the error messages.
How is root unprivileged? The shell-prompt shows the user.
Right after the failure, I ran the exact same steps, in the same
shell, on a different card of the same box. It worked, as it always
has.
I have no idea what you are doing wrong, but I get the following:
finger@larrylap:~/wireless-testing-new> sudo iwconfig wlan9 essid junk
finger@larrylap:~/wireless-testing-new>
The above is with r8712u running on wireless-testing 3.0-rc4.
