master hangs and nothing can do with it

I am a little confused. Why is rtlwifi loaded? The RTL8188EU does not use it.

What do you mean by "stable" and "master" versions?

I'm using Debian Wheezy, and my system also froze immediately after installing this driver and connecting to a network. After a restart, everything was fine until I tried to open a browser. Then everything would freeze again, as in the mouse cursor won't move and the clock stops ticking. A few months ago, and as far back as a year, it was working fine.

I installed it like this: mkdir ~/RTL8188EU cd ~/RTL8188EU git clone git://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu cd ~/RTL8188EU/rtl8188eu make sudo make install sudo cp -v ~/RTL8188EU/rtl8188eu/rtl8188eufw.bin /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/ sudo depmod -a sudo update-initramfs -u sudo modprobe 8188eu

Anything wrong there?

I'm not at that computer now, so I can't give you a lsusb, but I'm using one of these: usbwifi
