Re: RTL8192EU on rtl8xxxu driver breaks every few minutes

Oops, forgot to forward the previous reply to the mailing list.

I have attached the output of iw link

the AP is an asus dsl-n55u router in 2.4 GHz mode, using WPA2-Personal
with AES encryption. It's also running a second 5GHz wireless network
which has a different SSID.

Also, this seems to be some kind of power saving kicking in, as the dongle keeps working as long as I keep doing things over ssh.

Hi, I happen to own a RTL8192EU WiFi dongle which is marked as untested
by the rtl8xxxu driver.

I'm on a linux from scratch system using kernel 4.7.3 and wpa_supplicant
2.5.

The dongle appears to connect and work fine, but after around 10 minutes
it deauthenticates and enters and endless loop of authentication
timeout. This continues even if I bring the interface down and back up
again. The only way to restore the connection is to physically remove
and re-plug the usb dongle.

I have attached a dmesg log of connecting and entering the auth loop.

Please provide details about the AP you are trying to connect to and iw
link output.
