Wifi- dongle

[User 15552]

rtl8188cu is apparently not rtl8188cus
search ,,, linux drivers rtl8188cus
freezing seems to be quite common
I suggest a different dongle, unless you like that kind of thing
A common cheap chipset is mt7601u, usually works
(ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology)
This is what I have on TV box, running hacked manjaro
--edit--  waking up manjaro on pbp,
16 (vendor:product) listings for mt7601u
You have to read ad (for dongle) very closely, and even
then, 1/2 don't tell chipset

Well ordering another wifi dongle on the hope that this might fix my original issues is something I would rather not do.


So I booted up my pbp and presses `Ctr + Alt + F1`. Then I typed `journalctl -f` to see any error messages. I then plugged in the usb-dongle and it did detect it and load a module called `rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw_TMSC.bin`.

Everything froze; but strangely there was absolutely no error message or anything. Is there anything I can do to see what specifically makes the pbp freeze?

Edit:
Found `dmesg  --follow` which continuously prints messages to the command line.

I get the following error message after it loads the firmware

Code:

rtl8xxxu_rx_iqk_path_a: Path A RX IQK failed!

Also found some explanation here.
