Hi! After a recent upgrade on my i386 Debian system, my Wifi USB dongle stops working. I tried it on another computer with Debian (amd64), upgraded and with the firmware-realtek package installed too, and it works fine.
The device is:
root@osgiliath:~# lsusb | grep WLAN
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0bda:8172 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
RTL8191SU 802.11n WLAN Adapter
I have the latest firmware-realtek package version (0.39) and the
wireless card is up and able to scan networks. But, when I try to
connect to my WPA network, the association is not made. I can see the
following error on /var/log/daemon.log:
Jul 22 16:32:49 osgiliath NetworkManager[2517]: <info> Config: added
'key_mgmt' value 'WPA-PSK'
Jul 22 16:32:59 osgiliath wpa_supplicant[2666]: wlan0: Trying to
associate with 00:8e:f2:73:45:d6 (SSID='/home/wireless' freq=2462 MHz)
Jul 22 16:32:59 osgiliath wpa_supplicant[2666]: wlan0: Association
request to the driver failed
Jul 22 16:33:04 osgiliath wpa_supplicant[2666]: wlan0:
Authentication with 00:8e:f2:73:45:d6 timed out.
I tried to rewrite the password, and to stop Network Manager and try to
connect with iwconfig, but I finally get the same wpa_supplicant error.
Is it a known problem? Do you know any solution to it?
Thanks in advance
