Hello all,
not sure what is happening but so far i have the following results:
i downloaded the latest bleeding edge wireless from
http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
I installed kernel headers and build-essentials end run:
./scripts/driver-select rtlwifi
make && make install
i downloaded the firmware from
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git
Running on Ubuntu maverick kernel 2.6.35-30 update 56 i get sometimes
an authenticated message when running wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -c
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0 but most times it will timeout
Running on Ubuntu natty kernel 2.6.38-10 update 46 i always get the
authenticated message when running wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -c
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0
only when using dhcp request on two accespoint i get different results
on the natty driver but that has todo with:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38012 when applied i can
connect two both accespoints.
Any ideas why it does not work on the maverick kernel?
Also when stopping the wpa_supplicant with ctrl+c and restart i first
have to replug the device before it tries todo anything with the card.
With kind regards
William

Hi all,
Have installed natty and also installed the snapshot.
After compile and installed the rtlwifi driver the wpa_supplicant
works
like a charm every time with all three sticks.
So i think it is something in the compat layer or userland utilities?
Anyone an idea?
I would like this to work with the maverick kernel 2.6.35 because we
cannot upgrade right now.
With kind regards
William

Hello all, i have three usb sticks with the the id: 0bda:8176 I am
running ubuntu maverick with the compat tree from 2011-08-08
(downloaded this morning) and i also tried several others (dates
from
15 juli 2011). The main problem is that sometimes i get a connection
and it works like a charm and then all of the sudden i don't get any
connection at all and running wpa_supplicant says time out. i really
have no idea whats wrong so if someone could help me out. is there a
way to get debugging from the rtlwifi drivers? i got the firmware
from:
