Trouble with LB-LINK USB wireless adapter

Hi, I picked up a cheapo USB wireless adapter and am having trouble getting it to work.

When connecting to my home network (secured with WPA) I continually get
"WPA Authentication/Association Failed"

This is the dmesg output:

[  639.395565] rtl8192cu: MAC auto ON okay!
[  639.428758] rtl8192cu: Tx queue select: 0x05
[  639.804973] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan1: link is not ready
[  641.817392] rtl8192cu: MAC auto ON okay!

[  797.319092] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan1: link is not ready

The output of lsusb

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN

The output of ifconfig -a

wlan1: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500  metric 1

        TX packets 15  bytes 2674 (2.6 KiB)

My network profile looks like this (verified it works when using a different card):

CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='dd wrt'
INTERFACE='wlan1'
SECURITY='wpa'
ESSID='dd-wrt'
KEY=''
IP='dhcp' 
DHCP_TIMEOUT='60'

Have you tried the drivers from Realtek? See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p1127161 .
