What details more i could provide, could you clarify please?
What distro do you use? How do you control the wifi? Do you use
NetworkManager, or what? If you use wicd, then that is likely the
problem!
These are the kinds of details that should have been in your first
message.
You need to get the compat-wireless source from
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download, and build it on your
system.
In previous message i clarified that the distro uses NetworkManager
NetworkManager (and networkmanager calls wpa_supplicant through dbus).
The distro i use is Mageia, but when i run Ubuntu live cd i found the
same exact problem.
For what i see compat-wireless file arepart of the kernel, and the
distro already provides the latest kernel available thats version
3.3.3.
I do not like your tone!! If you want help, please watch what you say.
Hu?
I dont understand why your saying this, seams your in a bad mood but
thats certainly not my fault...
For your information, the latest compat-wireless has the wireless code that
will be in kernel 3.5. That is the reason I want you to try it.
Anyway in the website you pointed i see this to download:
http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
but for what i read there this isnt for kernel-2.6 series?
From the web page:
=======================================================
Linux wireless version table
The following is the latest release versions for code taken from linux-next.git
and on compat-wireless.git. This is updated automatically every day. The version
represents the git-describe output.
linux-next.git: <<CurrentLinuxNext>>
compat-wireless.git: <<CurrentCompatVersion: unknown>>
Where to download bleeding edge
You can get bleeding edge compat-wireless here:
compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
This package is updated daily. It reflects the latest on linux-next.git tree.
===============================================================
As it says, it contains the latest wireless code. It will build and run on any
kernel from 2.6.24 to 3.4-rc4.
It was OK to drop the Realtek addresses from this thread. They will ignore it
anyway. I have added the wireless ML as a Cc. Please keep that with all further
communications.
