Try raising your console log level. I usually have my set to -

# echo 3 4 1 7 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk

[beagleboard] Re: Wifi problems

2017-03-06 Thread 'Barry Day' via BeagleBoard
rtl_usb is buggy. The fact anything that depends on it works, e.g. 
rtl8192cu, is nothing more than a fluke. And there's no point fixing it 
because it's being replaced by rtl8xxxu. 
You could try blacklisting rtl8192cu so rtl8xxxu is loaded. It was a very 
new driver back in kernel 4.4 but may work well enough although you may 
still
have problems with connection dropping out. There was a bug in rtl8xxxu 
that only affected certain chipsets that existed up till around December 
2016
when I reported the cause to the maintainer.

For any realtek usb wifi dongles, if a person is up to the task,  I 
recommend blacklisting the in-kernel drivers, compiling and using the 
original realtek supplied driver instead. 

Even with rtl8xxxu, you won't get as good as performance as the original 
realtek driver and without documentation for the chipsets I can't see that
changing anytime soon.

they are different because they are different peripherals. offset 0x34 is 
for an integrated peripheral in the PRUSS. The other register offsets are 
for the UART/ IrDA module.

 [1] is it possible first to boot to a console, and then to start lxde with

 [2] the mass storage driver exports its BEAGLEBONE partition, seemingly as 
 a whole device (not as a partition).  thus, the host computer mounts 
 /dev/sdb (if there is only one other sda) with the BBB's 96MB partition.  I 
 looked in /etc/* whether I could find what enables this behavior, but 
 failed.

 [3] the log tells me about musb Babble interrupts to its host (powering) 
 computer.  I have tried this on multiple bbb's and cables.  is this 
 normal? (I also wonder if there could still be some gremlins in the USB 
 drivers.  if I plug a keyboard into the host bbb port, and then I try a 
 couple of times to insert/remove the BBB gadget port connection, it doesn't 
 connect the mass storage any longer.  maybe the keyboard is defective, but 
 the ports are different.)

 [4] how does lxde shut down?  the command line shutdown now and reboot 
 -p do not do it for me.  but the gui lxde powerdown does.

 Now days we have wonderful technologies such as Samba, NFS, and syntax

 boot our dev boards via NFS.
 Share a sub directory of the NFS share out via Samba.
 Write code on another system, via the Samba share, as if it were a local 
 file.
 Compile natively on the dev board.

 Imagine that !
