Unfortunately, no cigar: <After kernel re-compile> usb 8-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci_hcd r8712u: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned. r8712u: DriverVersion: v7_0.20100831 r8712u: register rtl8712_netdev_ops to netdev_ops r8712u: USB_SPEED_HIGH with 4 endpoints r8712u: Boot from EFUSE: Autoload OK r8712u: CustomerID = 0x0000 r8712u: MAC Address from efuse = 00:1a:ef:25:2d:f9 r8712u: Loading firmware from "rtlwifi/rtl8712u.bin" usbcore: registered new interface driver r8712u r8712u: r8711_wx_set_enc: IW_ENCODE_RESTRICTED usb 8-1: USB disconnect, device number 2 NOTE: I haven't seen any "Badfw size" message.
