I have been seeing a lot of patches from > various sources. I thought they were OK, but I will need to bisect. I tried with 3.16 and 4.0 based Debian kernels. Neither worked. I use the firmware provided by Debian's firmware-realtek package. I have two of these devices, so I think the hardware should be ok, unless they are broken both. When I first tried to use it, I forgot to install firmware. It tried to load it, then some 'alternative firmware' and then froze the system partially. I guess there's some unreleased lock or such in an error path somewhere. I didn't check this, because it didn't seem too terribly important for now. I will also try your driver from your github repo soon and see if that makes it work. > Some days I am sorry that I ever heard of Linux. :) Retired, but still out of time. :) -- Michael
