With the patch applied, transmissions work. From an adjacent machine I can see the DHCP requests and router solicitations coming from the rtl8192cu using wireshark. However, reply packets are not received by the USB dongle --- wireshark on the machine with the dongle installed sees no packets coming in after the initial key exchange, only the packets going out. There's nothing in dmesg output to show the problem, and downing and then upping the interface results in failure to associate --- the authentication attempt times out. rtl8192cu: MAC address: 00:e0:4c:04:91:9c rtl8192cu: Board Type 0 rtl8192cu: rx_max_size 15360, rx_urb_num 8, in_ep 1 ieee80211 phy1: Selected rate control algorithm 'rtl_rc' usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8192cu udevd[1715]: renamed network interface wlan1 to wlan2 rtl8192cu: MAC auto ON okay! rtl8192cu: Tx queue select: 0x05 rtl8192c: Loading firmware file rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan2: link is not ready wlan2: authenticate with 00:1e:2a:28:32:09 (try 1) wlan2: authenticated wlan2: associate with 00:1e:2a:28:32:09 (try 1) wlan2: RX AssocResp from 00:1e:2a:28:32:09 (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=1) wlan2: associated ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan2: link becomes ready wlan2: deauthenticating from 00:1e:2a:28:32:09 by local choice (reason=3) wlan2: authenticate with 00:1e:2a:28:32:09 (try 1) wlan2: no IPv6 routers present wlan2: authenticate with 00:1e:2a:28:32:09 (try 2) wlan2: authenticate with 00:1e:2a:28:32:09 (try 3) wlan2: authentication with 00:1e:2a:28:32:09 timed out
