Hi,

I've got an usb wireless adapter TP-Link TL-WN725N
http://www.tp-link.com/ca/products/details/?categoryid=241&model=TL-WN725N
It is based on the rtl8192cu chip.
I'm running a recent kernel (3.10-rc5) on a arm-based board (at91sam9g35-ek).
and last linux-firmwares (2892af0)

I've should have check this before, but the connection problem is
corrected with the patch "rtlwifi: rtl8192cu: Fix problem in
connecting to WEP or WPA(1) networks"
Sorry for that...

Anyway, running 3.10-rc5 with the for-davem wireless branch, I still
have the slow path warning
