| Summary | 0000106: Request to patch Realtek driver for 8192cu / 8188cu devices | ||||||||
| Description | I've been having some random crashes in my BPI-R1 and, after looking into it, I suspect the problem is related with the realtek drivers that ship with bananapi. My system was stable and, after installing hostapd (as described here http://forum.lemaker.org/thread-13017-1-1-setting_up_wlan0_as_an_access_point_in_bpi_r1.html [^]), I started experiencing random crashes. Today, as I looked deeper into it, I found these two git repos: - this includes a patch to hostapd, so it supports the realtek wifi hardware on the BPI-R1 https://github.com/pritambaral/hostapd-rtl871xdrv [^] - and then I found this other repo, where they have updated realtek drivers, based on some official drivers released by Realtek several years ago: https://github.com/dz0ny/rt8192cu [^] According to the repo's readme: "The in-tree kernel drivers for these devices do not work so the official realtek drivers have to be used. Gladly, these were released as GPL code so we can publish them freely. Unfortunately, they have some issues with 64bit machines so this repository contains the fixes to make them work." They do not claim official support but, knowing that the official drivers that ship with the kernel are broken, it might be a good idea to look into this. | ||||||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Hard to reproduce...but...try and install hostapd on a BPI-R1 (as described here http://forum.lemaker.org/thread-13017-1-1-setting_up_wlan0_as_an_access_point_in_bpi_r1.html [^]) and use the device as an access point! A few minutes / hours later, the system with crash with no apparent reason. | ||||||||
| Additional Information | I'll gladly work with you guys and try out these drivers but I don't think I can do it without your help (seeing I do not have access to Bananian's linux headers). | ||||||||

I have made an attempt to integrate the RealTek sources for 0.8 into the 1.0 Debian package. So far it compiles & hostapd starts, but I haven't tested it beyond that yet. The package is attached to this ticket, sources available on request. |

(0000178) Nico (manager) 2015-03-10 16:24 |
Thank you. Please provide sources. We won't integrate anything without complete sources. |
|
(0000179) pludikovsky (reporter) 2015-03-10 17:02 |
Attached the requested source files, which should be everything required to build the package(s). |

I want to note that I also applied the realtek patchset against hostapd-2.4 the sources are here: https://github.com/jekader/hostapd-rtl [^] the Debian package is named hostapd-rtl and conflicts with "normal" hostapd to avoid confusion for users. |
