Hello, I would really like to know how this page was created, as I couldn't make this wifi key work under linux. As is, the indicated drivers do not work. Thank you! --Ivanoff 11:21, 25 October 2012 (EDT)

You will probably need to add the USB ID to the driver as it is almost certain that the USB ID is not in there now.
For rtl8192cu, the USB IDs are in sw.c.
Just add a line with {RTL_USB_DEVICE(0x0846, 0xf001, rtl92cu_hal_cfg)}, in the USB ID section (after {RTL_USB_DEVICE(0x0846, 0x9021, rtl92cu_hal_cfg)}, /*Netgear-Sercomm*/ would be fine) and recompile
er.. or alternatively, just modprobe rtl8192cu and echo -n "0846 f001" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id

Thanks for the tip. But for the record, well, I got that...

No luck so far. I doubt the driver is working fine with the chipset --Ivanoff 07:11, 27 October 2012 (EDT)
hmm.. well, a few possibilities...
  • rtl8192cu is bugged in this version and cannot accept new USB IDs at runtime
    • possible solution: install compat-drivers / compat-wireless
  • I am already using a 3.6.3 kernel, so as I understand it, compat drivers won't work for such recent kernels, so it's no use to try, I guess --Ivanoff 12:00, 29 October 2012 (EDT)

(stable releases here)

  • rtl8192cu does not work with this chip
    • this is not a RTL8192CU device and is instead a RTL819xSU device
      • possible solution: modprobe r8712u and echo -n "0846 f001" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/r8712u/new_id
      • will probably not work because: this device is the same as the Netgear WNA3100M which does indeed use RTL8192CU
  • No, this doesn't work at all --Ivanoff 07:21, 28 October 2012 (EDT)
  • Actually, the vendor driver works fine (as long as you give the correct id to the driver). It even compiles for kernel 3.6.3. It seems stuck at 144Mbps however --Ivanoff 07:21, 28 October 2012 (EDT)
    • this is a new Realtek chip which currently has no support
--M86 14:14, 27 October 2012 (EDT)

Thank you for the debug session. I am sure a debugged kernel driver will soon appear. --Ivanoff 12:00, 29 October 2012 (EDT)
