4.3.22-beta Connectivity Issues #44

Open arrmo opened 7 years ago

arrmo commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I seem to be having connectivity issues with the 4.3.22-beta driver. It's installed and running on my Raspberry Pi, but I have two Wi-Fi adapters in the box ... the "other" one seems rock solid, but the rtl8812au based one seems to be up and down a lot (based on LibreNMS tracking both of them).

Is there a good way to debug this - to get input we can look at to get to the bottom of the issue?

Thanks!

Have you looked at the output of dmesg ? On my rpi3, running raspbian kernel 4.4.38, I get oopses. I'm using dkms to compile it. Is your issue similar to #36 ?

There is mention on the interwebs that cross compiling from an x86 system resolves it: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=706261

Just did the cross-compile, needed the /usr/src/linux/Module.symvers to let insmod succeed. Driver loads fine. Since crashes are very irregular, needs more testing to see if it makes a difference.

EDIT: stable for a week now, so cross-compiling from x86 solved the issue for me.
