Hi I wonder whether one of you can help me with a usb wireless issue? I'm running LFS 6.2 and want to connect a wired usb receiver with a Realtek 8188SU chip. There is a driver from Realtek which I have compiled and the device is seen. When I turn off my built-in receiver in the laptop the device will scan and find my normal wireless hub, but wpa_supplicant will not connect(already tried wicd - gives 'bad password', went manual).
Some details: $ lsusb Bus 004 Device 005: ID 0bda:8171 Realtek Semiconductor Corp $ ifconfig -a wlan1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1A:EF:25:0A:56 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) $ iwconfig wlan1 unassociated Nickname:"rtl_wifi" Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Sensitivity:0/0 Retry:off RTS thr:0 B Fragment thr:2346 B Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 $ iwlist wlan1 scanning wlan1 Scan completed : Cell 01 - Address: 00:1F:9F:49:2B:19 ESSID:"Thomson7F8759" Protocol:IEEE 802.11bg Mode:Master Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1) Encryption key:on Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s 12 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s (CUT SHORT) $ wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf - RETURNED TO PROMPT $ dhclient wlan1 Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.3 Copyright 2004-2009 Internet Systems Consortium.
