Hi. My name is Thor Malmjursson, I'm on the Kubuntu 11.10 OS, and I've discovered a bug with a kernel driver module which may need some attention. The main details of the bug are here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/878504 The issue is with the rtl8192cu kernel module, released in the 3.0 series of kernels, which we only got for the first time with our distro upgrade about 6 days ago. I have a USB WiFi adapter which should work with that module, and it actually associates with it when I plug it into the PC - the problem is, the device is immediately locking open and refusing to scan, either automatically or manually. It's a wireless adapter made by Texet, with the USBID 0BDA:8176 The only way I've been able to get the device to function is through ndiswrapper, but native support would be much better. As all the information you would need (i assume) is present on the bug report I listed above, I will leave this with you. I trust you will be able to help me with this.
I tried to post on the Ubuntu bugzilla, but the response was really slow and I gave up there.
The dmesg output you posted there involved using ndiswrapper, thus I did not see if the device was able to load the firmware. The specific file for that device is /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin. It is part of a kernel firmware package. I do not know what Ubuntu calls it.
