Hello Larry, System: (B)LFS i686-pc-linux-gnu, 3.2.9 Rosewill Wireless Adapter: RNX-N180UBE I compiled (as part of kernel 3.2.9) the r8712u module. Comes up OK but cannot take an essid nor a key. Example: iwconfig wlan0 essid <ESSID> key restricted <Encryption key> Fails quietly: iwconfig wlan0 wlan0 unassociated Nickname:"rtl_wifi" Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Sensitivity:0/0 Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off ... FWIW, it does take a mode ("managed", as shown above - default was Auto) I'd appreciate your help.
