disassociating from 00:25...[snip] by local choice (reason=3) ?

Hello Beagles!

I’ve been working on building my own kernel using this guide:

http://wiki.beyondlogic.org/index.php/BeagleBoneBlack_Building_Kernel

And I’ve got it working mostly except from the wifi driver.
I’m using the rtl8192cu chipset over USB and the modules loads and finds the device

but when I do: iwconfig wlan0 essid

I get this in dmesg:

[ 75.515169] rtl8192cu: MAC auto ON okay!

Can anyone tell me whats wrong?

Thanks!

What hardware do you have? You might to build a new driver out of tree,
the one that comes with the kernel doesn't work properly with some
devices. I managed to cross compile the kernel by following Robert's
instructions and then cross compiled the driver and now it's working fine.
I'm running ubuntu 13.04 armhf and I used the driver git repository
mentioned here:

<http://www.codealpha.net/864/how-to-set-up-a-rtl8192cu-on-the-beaglebone-black-bbb/>

You might also want to add a few options to the driver:

I'm using a noname USB WiFi dongle labeled RTL8188 on a beaglebone black.

I tried removing avahi-daemon and wpa-supplement and after
a reboot I can now do:

iwconfig wlan0 essid <WIFISSID>

and get:

You might be missing a few steps there. Did you configure wpa supplicant
with wifi password, etc ? You can check what wpa supplicant is doing
with wpa_cli

I'm not using wpa supplicant, just dhcp

(dhclient -1 -v -pf /run/dhclient.wlan0.pid -lf
/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.wlan0.leases wlan0)

also,
I tried compiling the driver you linked.
I had to change the path to the kernel source but still I got this error:

Did you cross-compile the kernel successfully before building the 8192
module? Which kernel version are you building?

The problem seems to be that create_proc_entry is deprecated:
(https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/pull/328)

When I compiled I did

git checkout 3.12-bone8 and ran the build_kernel.sh

which invoked:

make -j8 ARCH=arm LOCALVERSION=-bone8 CROSS_COMPILE=/home/dacobi/linux-dev/dl/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.10_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- zImage modules

and it was successful, but the rtl8192cu_beaglebone gave the same error.

I applied the patch from the raspberrypi git and it compiled :slight_smile:

I will test the module later tonight.
