Abdulla and Stefan,

My announcement was a bit premature. I am currently merging that driver with the
rest of the rtlwifi family. I hope to have it working by next week. I will send
kernel patches to everyone that has requested a copy.

When those are ready, they will be patches that apply to the latest kernel
(3.14). I hope that will not be a problem for either of you.

Larry

Hello Larry,


thanks for you response!
Yesterday i tried this driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1239578/+attachment/4057550/+files/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_8723ae_88ee_8723be_92ee_linux_mac80211_0017.1016v2.2013.tar.gz
and install it on my debian-system with Kernel 3.13..
after a reboot i see the wlan0


but if i connect to my router the authentication failed, and after a few minutes the driver goes crazy, and fill up my logs (>300MB in a few seconds) with the following messages

syslog; kern.log:
