Hi folks
Several people over on Ubuntu Launchpad are reporting that this USB WiFi
adaptor has issues connecting to certain access points. In my case, I cannot
connect to a Meraki mesh network, but have no trouble when using my Android
phone as a WiFi Access Point.
The launchpad bugs are:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/869530
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-3.0.0/+bug/862684
~$ uname -a
Linux crow 2.6.38-11-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 12 21:18:14 UTC 2011
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Note that I have tried newer kernels, including 3.1.0 without it making a
difference.
Is there some other steps we could be taking to figure out what is going on
here?
gracias,
Alan

Two of their hardware access points linked together in what they call
a multi-radio mesh.
Like these: http://meraki.com/products/wireless/mr62
Perhaps it is the multi-radio setup that the rtl8192cu does not like?

You need to run wireshark on a different computer and capture the attempt to
connect. The device works with my 3 APs, but none are Meraki.
