Hmm, I wonder which of the two rsu_fw_cmd() calls in rsu_join_bss() is failing. > The other issue I'm experiencing is when the driver does a scan > either from the kernel doing so or from me issuing ifconfig scan > will result in rsu_site_survey() failing (rsu0: could not send site > survey command) after a few invocations of the function to issue the > fw command.

Looks like the Linux people had some issues with some firmware versions judging from the log messages in their git firmware repo. You'll want rtl8712u.bin from: <http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=tree;f=rtlwifi;hb=HEAD> Cheers, Mark
