Do you need the kernel config?

from /etc/network/interfaces

iface wlan0 inet static
    address 192.168.43.129
    netmask 255.255.255.0

**************************

After "ifconfig wlan0 up" the system freeze
It's just every time the interface has to work, it's gonna freeze. It 
doesn't matter if I use wpa_supplicant or ifupdown (which invokes at 
last wpa_supplicant, so far as I know, on the debian system)

I can use " /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8185" to set the regulatory domain 
"options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=EU"
I can use "iwconfig wlan0 channel 6", that works (and some ather stuff).
