Dear friends,
with a lot of help from you all you helped this clueless newb to have his Edimax wifi dongle mostly up and running without any serious glitch.
There's now something I need to ask since it goes beyond my comprehension.
Despite the wifi working very well it does NOT work at all via the iw command. iw list returns to a command prompt without any output, and also # iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan0_sta type station or # iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan0_ap type __ap fail ...
Do I understand correctly in that this driver is a patched alternative to what is found in the standard archlinux kernel ? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/8192cu-dkms/
Would it make sense for me to attempt using this and not the standard one or it's a waste of time ?
In this case can anyone help me understand what should I do to prepare this module and then when I have it on the system unload the standard one and substitute it with the new one ?
Thanks a lot.
