Please don't send reports like this to me privately, there's no point. I won't be able to fix individual drivers that I don't know. Make a public report, and try to figure out who is in charge of that driver. I've added the most active rtl8192 authors/people to the Cc, along with linux-wireless. Hopefully that includes somebody who can help. Linus ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

If not, you're going to have to report this to the Ubuntu developers, not much we can do here. If so, can you see if the in-kernel version of the driver has ever worked for your system? Try an older release, like 2.6.34 or 2.6.32 and see if that works. thanks, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

That would help everyone out in the end. I have a copy of the driver that Realtek calls the r8712 for the RTL8192 USB devices. All of the dead code and the unneeded configuration sections have been removed. It will be submitted to staging as soon as Realtek signs off on the copyright info. For some reason, it has taken them several weeks and I still have no answer. This new driver is stable - the connection stays up for days. I expect that it will replace the current one in staging.

The reason I'm asking is that Florian and I have been working on porting a new vendor driver for the 8192u devices. The plan is to submit this to staging. At the moment, it has been tested with big- and little-endian, and 32- and 64-bit systems. Everything is working except for suspend and resume. If your device is one of those that Realtek says works with this driver, and you are willing to build a kernel from scratch, I will send you the URL for a git tree containing it. That will have to be done privately as I'm still waiting for Realtek to approve the copyright statements in the code. It is GPL'ed, so I do not expect any difficulties, but their lawyers have to sign off. Larry ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

I don't think it's in the main tree yet because the change I see for the rtl8192su is on 2010-08-11, but there is a bunch of stuff from Florian from July. I'm trying to get the rtl8188su chip to work, and more specifically to get it to work without depending on PCI on arm. thanks, Paul ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

This is on an Atmel at91sam9g20 arm processor, it only has 12Mbps USB. I haven't tested wpa yet. thanks, Paul ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
