TP-Link TL-WN725N not working on latest Ubuntu

[sagikazarmark]

Hi,

I looked through the current issues, but none of them described my issue.

I am using Ubuntu 13.10 3.11.0-13-generic kernel.

The latest commit of your driver I used is f4d1258.

After pulling the latest master branch and compiling your driver it stopped working. The network manager says: "Device is not ready". I see it in the usb devices list, but cannot get it work. I reverted to the mentioned commit for now, but I don't know what the next step is.

Any messages in the output of the dmesg command? Did you copy the firmware file to /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/?

[sagikazarmark]

Copying the file to the given folder was the solution. Since today I did make install and everything worked. Thanks

This issue is still open and the last comment is that TL-WN725N works fine :( but I cannot get it working as access point.
Tested with kernels 3.10.17 ( http://www.slackware.at/data/slackware64-14.1/kernels/huge.s/config ), 3.10.24 and 3.11.10 . realtek hostapd v3.4.4_4749.20121105 and v4.0.2_9000.20130911, latest source from repository commit b093e6c (rtl8188eu: Modify Makefile to not overwrite firmware if it exists).
hostapd prints following :
...
HT40: control channel: 6 secondary channel: 10
Completing interface initialization
Mode: IEEE 802.11g Channel: 6 Frequency: 2437 MHz
...
Flushing old station entries
ioctl[RTL_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: Operation not supported
Could not connect to kernel driver.
....
ioctl[RTL_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: Operation not supported
Failed to set ACL mac addr.
ioctl[RTL_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: Operation not supported
Failed to set ACL mac addr.
Failed to set beacon head/tail or DTIM period

wlan0: Setup of interface done.

I would like to confirm that device works for me with kernel 3.2.29 , realtek hostapd v3.4.4_4749.20121105 and rpi-rtl8188eu driver.

Next step is to downgrade kernel :(

AP Hostpot seems to be broken as of revision 90ec93e.

I had "ioctl[RTL_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: Operation not supported" errors.

The solution was to revert to revision f4d1258

[lwfinger]

Did you bisect to this revision, or did you just pick one arbitrarily?

[shaun2029]

I picked one based off: #3

[lwfinger]

Please do a bisect to find the bad one. Knowing exactly the bad commit increases my incentive to actually work on this problem.

[shaun2029]

Will do that.

Thank you for your good work.
It is appreciated.

Managed to fix the issue, was introduced by 19db43e removing the defines for AP and P2P modes.

See pull request.

I would like to confirm that with definition of CONFIG_88EU_AP_MODE and CONFIG_88EU_P2P issue is resolved.
