dmesgNot sure what distribution you are running, but I am seeing problems with NetworkManager in recent Fedora. Could you try the following: 1) Unplug the WiFi dongle 2) (Re)load the driver (rmmod rtl8xxxu ; insmod rtl8xxxu) 3) Restart NetworkManager 'systemctl restart NetworkManager' 4) Plug in the WiFi dongleJes, I can confirm what Drunk Cat sees. There is something different about the RTL8192RU as using the iwconfig utility shows no APs in the scan. I hope to get to debugging the problem soon.OK - thats unfortunate. Most likely the wrong antenna path is being enabled for it, or something like that. Once I finish up the 8723bu/8192eu patchset, I'll try to find some time to look at it, if you don't nail it before.
Larry, Does this patch make any difference? Cheers, Jes
