Re: Tr : Tr : Can't make RTL8188CE work with hostapd (rtl8192ce)

Good to know so I will not waste my time with this AWUS036H device.

FYI a good blog on the sharing a wireline and wireless network, setthing up the AP with dhcp, proxy ARP etc...

AS you suggested, I only kept ips=0 for my rtl8192ce
/etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ce.conf 
options rtl8192ce ips=0

# ips:Set to 0 to not use link power save (default 1)
# swlps:Set to 1 to use SW control power save (default 0)
# fwlps:Set to 1 to use FW control power save (default 1)
# debug:Set debug level (0-5) (default 0) (int)

(any cheap, good and working USB wifi device which has more power than an embedded chip as the rtl8188 ? it's a shame that we can't add just an antenna vs another wifi hw)
