I have found another bug - it is impossible to me to connect a 
WPA2-network -
here is the dmesg output for that - will send you the output for a 
WEP-network
later then:

The first thing I notice is that you apparently do not have CRDA 
installed. A second thing is that the interface never comes up. As 
long as it remains down, it can never connect. How are you connecting? 
I'm using NetworkManager.

The following is an excerpt from my dmesg log with debug=3 set when 
rtlwifi is loaded:

As you notice, this connection uses the CCMP algorithm, i.e. it is 
with WPA2-AES.  It is also an 802.11n. Just to test, I switched the AP 
to run only at 802.11g rates. That also worked.

I need to know more about your setup. What AP and how is it 
configured? How do you control the wireless connection?

Larry

The AP showen above is configured as you say as an 802.11bgn device. The 
wireless connection is controlled by wicd.
