Source: linux-latest Version: 4.9+80+deb9u5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have a TP-Link TL-WN725N USB 802.11n WiFi dongle. Default driver rtl8192cu is buggy (power management issue causing deauth). While https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes works, it's deprecated and users are asked use the new rtl8xxxxu driver. rtl8xxxxu is compiled as a module but nothing happens because this device support is hidden behind CONFIG_RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED that debian kernel config does not set. I had to recompile this kernel with that option enabled to make it work. Please consider turning this option on by default. Meanwhile, I emailed the maintainer upstream to report that this device works, so hopefully they can graduate it as stable and no longer behind untested. Thanks! -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: arm (armel) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-7-marvell Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init)
