Dear all,
I have a problem RTl8723 wifi connection. I can connect the access point
fine but exactly 10 seconds later, the connection will be lost. This is
100% reproducible. Here is the "iw event" log.

Does anyone have the same problem? Can someone tell me what is "wlan0:
unknown event 20"? I suspect this is the cause of the disconnection. I
am no wifi expert. Where should I take look at in the source code?
I am using Fedora 16 kernel 3.4.9 with some minor patches and Realktek
driver provided from my vendor,
"8723AE_linux_WiFimac80211_0007.0809.2012.tar.gz".
And here is lspci info.

I have sent the same question to the Realtek support but I also
appreciate your help.

According to the table at
http://etutorials.org/Networking/Wireless+lan+security/Chapter+4.+WLAN+Fundamentals/Basic+Choreography/,
event 20 is "Invalid AKMP". That acronym stands for Active Key Management Protocol.
I have some questions:
(1) What version of the vendor driver are you using?
(2) Are the memset errors fixed? There are a number of calls where args 2 and 3
are reversed.
(3) Can you build your own kernel? If so, check
http://www'lwfinger.com/realtek_drivers/rtl8723ae_master_patch. That will patch
a 3.4 kernel to include the driver rtl8723ae that has been submitted for
inclusion in kernel 3.8.

Thanks Larry,

I got the driver from below, where my PC vendor told me to go.
http://www.liteon.com/UserFiles/driver/Module/Network/WLAN/RTL/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_8723ae_linux_mac80211_0007.0809.2012.tar.gz

I will check the source code.

I will try this patch also and get back to you.

Those are all fixed in my patch. The driver that you are using was my starting
point for the one that will be included in the kernel. My experience is that the
connections that I get are extremely stable, particularly for a new driver.

Larry,
I applied your patch against the compat-wireless-2012-10-03.tar.bz2
(http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/)
and it is now working stably on the kernel 3.4.9.
Thank you very much!!!

That is good news. I hope that the patches become part of the compat code very soon.
