Wifi dongle no reconnects after deAuth #180

Open lixifumi opened 8 years ago

Hello,

I'm having problems with rtl8188eu driver when it receives a deAuth packets from the AP. It goes to power save mode when it should reconnect to the AP.

Platform:

Architecture: ARM920T (v4l) Linux kernel: 3.16.0 Driver: v4.1.8_9499 Usb dongle: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. NetworkManager: 0.9.6.4

syslog Jul 18 14:44:23 machine user.debug kernel: R8188EU: sta recv deauth reason code(7) sta:e6:8d:8c:2f:e9:0b, ignore = 0 Jul 18 14:44:25 machine user.debug kernel: R8188EU: nolinked power save enter Jul 18 14:44:39 machine user.debug kernel: ==> rtl8188e_iol_efuse_patch Jul 18 14:44:40 machine user.debug kernel: RxIdleAnt=MAIN_ANT Jul 18 14:44:41 machine user.debug kernel: R8188EU: nolinked power save leave Jul 18 14:44:45 machine user.debug kernel: R8188EU: nolinked power save enter

Same driver version and same platform using kernel 3.6.11 device reconnects correctly after it receives deauth packets.

Somebody knows if the problem is related with the driver or linux kernel/NetworkManager version?

Thank you. Best Regards, Julen

There is no need to shout. All caps in the title is not needed.

This driver is supplied "as is" in this repo. I know nothing of the internal operations of the device, thus there is little I can do. I do ensure that it builds on all kernel versions, and I try to fix any oops problems, but that is my limit.

When it worked with 3.6.11, was that using the same user-space components. If so, then it is a kernel problem. If not, then no conclusions are possible.
