I noticed that - you said your dongle was "detected" - not sure whether you meant found by lsusb (device found in dmesg) or that you got the firmware loading message in dmesg (device found *and* firmware loaded). I don't currently have a dongle to test - but I recall a loading message in dmesg as the firmware is installed. > >> You'd need to enable the *non-free* repository for the module. >> >> Perhaps you could file a bug report against it? > > Well, but against which package should it be filled? Probably firmware-realtek *and* your kernel - I'd try and rule out problems with the module first (rmmod then insmod, and look for errors) and I'm presuming you got no dmesg errors with the kernel. > "apt-file search rtl8192cu" returns: > firmware-realtek: /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin > linux-headers-3.0.0-1-686-pae: > /usr/src/linux-headers-3.0.0-1-686-pae/include/config/rtl8192cu.h > linux-image-3.0.0-1-686-pae: > /lib/modules/3.0.0-1-686-pae/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/rtl8192cu.ko > > So probably i should file the bug report against linux-image-3.0.0-1-686-pae? Maybe.... sorry, but I really don't know whether your problem is the driver, the kernel, or perhaps udev (I suspect it's a kernel problem) - but it could be just an issue with that particular dongle's implementation of the chipset. > >> NOTE: has worked fine for others and I. > > Sorry, I don't understand.

I don't currently have a dongle to test and my experiences are with Squeeze. I'm assuming you're running Unstable.
