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?
How does it work at all with a 2.6.38 kernel? Driver rtl8192cu was not added to
the kernel until 2.6 39.
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.
What info is in the dmesg output in this case?
To debug the authentication case, run wpa_supplicant with the "-ddd" and "-f
wpa_supplicant.log" switches. That way you will get a log of what is going wrong.
