Hi,
The rtl8192de driver is working fine for me at 5GHz, but I am having trouble
getting scan results for 2.4GHz 802.11g networks. I have been doing a lot of
debugging but am not making much progress. I suspect the 802.11 b/g/n phy is
not being initialized correctly, but I'm pretty far outside my domain on this
one.
Is anyone successfully using this driver with a 2.4GHz 802.11g network?
I have several different models - some work better than others. What
is the PCI ID for yours?
This is the one I have:
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device [10ec:8193]
02:00.1 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device [10ec:8193] (rev 01)
It turns out that both kinds have the same ID. I think one of them is a
prototype, while the other is probably a production unit. Obviously, bitrot has
set in while I wasn't testing. With the kernel driver, neither unit can even
scan in the 2.4 GHz band. Using the latest version of the vendor driver, the
production version connects with APs running WEP, WPA, or WPA2. The prototype
can only handle WEP.
Obviously, I have some work to do. In the meantime, I will send you a tarball
containing the vendor driver - privately so as not to spam the list.
