[Bug 1365844] Re: 0bda:8178 buggy driver rtl8192cu
For the records, I am having this very same problem with e TP-Link TL- WN821N, shipped with a rtl8192cu chipset. I have recompiled the kernel enabling Jes Sorensen driver, ## file: drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/Kconfig ## CONFIG_RTL8XXXU=m CONFIG_RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED=y and added this line to a file under /etc/modprobe.d alias usb:v0BDAp8178d*dc*dsc*dp*icFFiscFFipFFin* rtl8xxxu If the dongle is initially connected, system loads the module when booting but seems not to initialize the dongle, so I have no connection. However, if I disconnect the dongle and reconnect it again with the system on, everything seems to work well, no connection dropping. Only minimally tested, but apart from the boot problem apparently much better that with the built-in rtl8192cu kernel module. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1365844 Title: 0bda:8178 buggy driver rtl8192cu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1365844/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1365844] Re: 0bda:8178 buggy driver rtl8192cu
Hello Chris, I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to respond. The truth is that none of the hoped-for fixes in the upstream kernels worked. I waited awhile to see if things would get better, but they have not. Here are my latest experiments, and the results... I downloaded and installed Ubuntu 14.10-beta2 today, and after updating it, the kernel (as identified by the output of uname -r) was 3.16.0-20-generic. That had the same bug, so no joy there. I then went and downloaded the latest package for the latest upstream kernel: linux- headers-3.17.0-031700rc7-generic_3.17.0-031700rc7.201409281835_amd64.deb Installed this, rebooted, and confirmed that I was now running kernel 3.17.0-031700rc7-generic. But wireless was broken as before. Removed the upstream kernel, ran update-grub just to be sure the system would be bootable, and rebooted. Back in kernel 3.16.0-20-generic and applied my workaround. A reboot later and I was OK, wireless fixed, but not in a nice way. I decided to give another distro a try, in particular, Linux Mint Debian, which is based on Debian Testing. Same bug exists there, and same workaround solves it. This is running kernel 3.11-2-amd64. Well, at least it's not just a Ubuntu thing. Let me know if you have any other experiments that you would like me to try. best regards, Paraquat -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1365844 Title: 0bda:8178 buggy driver rtl8192cu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1365844/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

paraquat, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please reverse your WORKAROUND and test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested exactly shown as: kernel-fixed-upstream-3.17-rc3 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.
