Hi friends,
on realtek usb wifi based on "rtl8192cu",
using kernel 3.8.3.x or 3.8.6 the device seem work good, but is unable
to connect. Infinitely it ask me the wep/wpa key..
I've tested using kernel "Linux 3.8.3-103.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 18
15:46:01 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux"
and 3.8.6 vanilla (from kernel.org)
Asking to Larry Finger he says that from kernel 3.8.5 this issues is
fixed, but is not so, for my experience.
lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:8178 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8192CU
802.11n WLAN Adapter
many thanks

If 3.8.6 does not fix it, then try the kernel from the wireless-testing git
tree. There were a number of other fixes in the code that will go into kernel
3.10, and my rtl8192cu devices (3 different models) work fine here with that
kernel. Unfortunately, those changes are not yet available in a compat-drivers
release.
Otherwise, you need to produce more definitive logging of what is failing.

Hi Larry,
i've tryed with kernel "3.8.5-201.fc18" two device wireless Realtek usb:
no one of this work corretcly with kernel 3.8.5-201 Fedora or 3.8.6
vanilla (kernel.org)
eitherdo not connect to the wifi router, but they both see the wireless
networks
one of this, on kernel 3.2.x and 3.0. 8 vanilla (kernel.org) using the
Realtek driver work correctly:

i will try the wireless-testing git tree and then I'll let you know,
for download the kernel source from the wireless-testing git tree is it
correct this procedure?
|git clone
|git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-testing.git
many thanks!

ok, i've tryed the wireless-testing git tree kernel (3.9.0-rc6 #1 SMP
x86_64 GNU/Linux), and doesn't work.
Infinitely it ask me the wep/wpa key..
any other suggestion? Module loading options?
many many thanks!

That particular module has very few options - only "swenc=1" to force software
encryption, and "debug=X" to set the debug level. I doubt that either would help.
What are the details of your connection? You have never told what encryption you
are trying to use. I have no details of your AP make/model, and what firmware
you are using in it. Are you using NetworkManager, or some other means to
control the connection? If NM, what does the NM log show?
Does Fedora allow you to set the debug level in wpa-supplicant? If so, set it to
-ddd and post that log.
The final thing would be to capture the over-the-air traffic with wireshark or
kismet. The best results would be to use a third computer to capture the
encryption handshaking.
