It has always been our intention to come as close as possible to comparing apples to apples. You were gracious enough to install wireless tools _v29_ to accommodate me. I tried to reciprocate by using _exactly_ the values for essis and key you did. Just for argument's sake, any other values I could've used (practically an infinite array - the complimentary set) would've raised the suspicion that that "unfortunate" choice might be responsible for the problem. And we'd hate that, wouldn't we? > I have no idea what is going wrong on your system ... In general, I wouldn't be so hasty in blaming my system. It's _very_ possible, but not proven yet. There's nothing to gain in finger pointing. The object of the game is to see what and where the problem is. We'll both come out heads up high if we deal with the situation professionally, as we are. Speaking of this, I've been wondering if there's a possibility that the firmware is somewhat bad (corrupted, wrong, etc) I did "describe" it in my Mar 6 07:15 PM post, for convenience, I repeat it here: [~]$ ls -l /lib/firmware/rtlwifi -rw-r--r-- 1 alex users 129304 2012-03-04 15:42 rtl8712u.bin I assumed, your original acceptance of this file (size, etc.) was an implicit assuaging of my above concern, but one never knows, do one? There's another possibility that the Rosewill Wireless Adapter, RNX-N180UBE, uses a non-"standard" chip, design, etc.. Have you tested your driver with this particular device? What other devices and/or systems have you validated your driver with? Etc., etc. Anyway, the point is to troubleshoot the problem and not to speculate about it. Any suggestions, help are welcome as always.
