Bug#726398: linux: Fail to work with USB wifi dongle TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 (USB id 0bda:8179)

Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

I just bought a USB wifi dongle and it fail to work with the Linux
kernel in Debian Stable/Wheezy.  lsusb show this information about the
device:

  Bus 001 Device 010: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

A similar device is mentioned in URL: http://bugs.debian.org/584945/ ,
which was reported solved a while back.  I suspect this was version 1 of
the dongle, using a different chipset.

According to URL: http://www.elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters 
version 1 of the TL-WN725N dongle should work out of the box in Linux,
while version 2 require manual driver installation, see
URL: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=26t=29752  for
the details.  So there is source out there to get this working with
Linux.  I hope to test it later today.

But I was hoping this dongle would work out of the box with Debian
stable, or at least with the next stable (Jessie).  Can you add the
driver to the kernel package to make this happen?

Hi Petter,

That device should work with kernel 3.10, module rtl8188ee.ko.
Upstream commits: f0eb856...8b138d4

 So there is source out there to get this working with
 Linux.  I hope to test it later today.

I think the Jessie kernel will already support it.

Steve

I doubt that.  r(tl)8188ee is a PCI-E chip and driver.  The USB version
is r(tl)8188eu. See http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/rtl819x
for the full overview.

Sorry for incorrect information.  Bjørn is correct.

(I guess it's better to confirm this in the BTS log than not to).

Yes, I tested it on Jessie too, so I can confirm that it do not work
there either.  Trying to tag this in the BTS meta information.

 Hmm. I was working off latest released package in unstable as that's
 the one I get to dowload and build. What do I need to do to 'target
 trunk in svn'? (e.g. where is it?)

There is a standard place to find this information...

[...]
 But we don't have an initramfs yet. klibc is not yet ported to arm64
 so initramfs doesn't work, so we can't use it. Once klibc arm64 is in
 debian, I agree this setting is not needed for a distro kernel.
 It's also really useful with a model which is all we have to build on
 currently.
[...]

This is going nowhere.  I'm not adding a config that looks like this -
use of an initramfs is mandatory.  (mips has been grandfathered in for
now.)

I'm adding just the linux-libc-dev package like you originally
requested.

Bug#726463: linux-image-3.10-3-amd64: System randomly freezes completely, needs hard reboot

2013-10-15 Thread Matteo Cypriani
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.10.11-1
Severity: important

Hello kernel maintainers,

I'm experiencing random freezes on my laptop running sid with recent
kernels (3.10+, see below). It happens a couple of minutes to several
hours after booting, under no particular charge, and blocks completely
the screen, the mouse and the keyboard (no tty switching possible, no
magic keys).  It leaves no information in /var/log/{messages,syslog}.
I experienced the problem both under X11 or in text console (with xdm
stopped), although the freeze seems to take longer to appear in text
mode (?). At first I suspected the network, but I had the machine freeze
when connected to the wired network, to a Wi-Fi network, or even
completely disconnected with the interfaces down.

This machine was freshly reinstalled on wheezy in early September and
upgraded to sid right after. I still have the 3.2 kernel from wheezy
installed (linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 3.2.46-1+deb7u1), and the machine
is perfectly stable when I run it. When I upgraded to sid, the most
recent kernel was linux-image-3.10-2-amd64, with wich I had the problem,
and it was later upgraded to linux-image-3.10-3-amd64 (3.10.11-1) with
no improvement. I also tried the 3.11 version from experimental
(linux-image-3.11-trunk-amd64 3.11-1~exp1) and the problem is still
present. However, a 3.11.4 kernel compiled from the official sources
works perfectly, so the problem might be caused by a Debian patch.

Note that this problem is likely unrelated to #711453, since the machine
has never rebooted by itself after a freeze.

In case that matters, this system is installed on LUKS + LVM + ext4 with
an unencrypted /boot (ext3).

I'd be happy to help diagnosing this bug but don't really know where to
start, so if you have any advice or request, feel free to tell me.

Cheers,
  Matteo
