Re: wifi usb dongle RTL8188SU - not working - first progress

after 2 days of trying everything and resulting in 2 broken systems that werent able to boot anymore this morning i was lucky at my first attempt. turns out its still not working 100%

i tried this firmware from the wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … p#rtl8192s

and this firmware:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/dists … 192sfw.bin
and put it in /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU/

but i get the same results - i am able to use the dongle - when i connect to a wpa2 router using netcfg i get 3 messages:

ioctll[SIOCSIWPMKSA]: Invalid argument
ioctll[SIOCSIWPMKSA]: Invalid argument
find: '/var/run/network//suspend/': No such file or directory

ping works

but doing a bunch pacman downloads is not really working - first package downloads just fine, then after a couple of seconds it fails retrieving everything until i reconnect the "netcfg -a && netcfg PROFILE"


some more information: everything.log after wireless drop:
