View Full Version : [ET10x00] USB Wi-FI issues with the new Kernel upgrade on 4.2.027
I've mentioned this in another thread, but I think it's time for a new thread.
I'm using a GigaBlue USB 2.0 WiFi 300Mbps adapter Plug & Play USB 2.0. WLAN adapter (RTL8192cu), and it's been 100% fine until the update to 4.2.027.
Every type of access (telnet, playback to a fire tv, windows explorer) now exhibit symptoms.
The simplest example is copying and pasting a file in windows explorer from the ET10k to my pc.
4.2.026 transfers at about 6Mb/s.
4.2.028 transfers at 200Kb/s, sometimes reaching 2Mb/s, sometimes dropping to zero, and sometimes losing contact altogether.
At this point windows loses the ET10K, and the pc needs rebooting to get it back.
A wired Ethernet connection on 4.2.028 runs fine at about 11.5Mb/s.
(ps I put 4.2.028 in the build number header, but it got truncated.)

########## wireless info END ############
@ccs - I had similar issues with a MB wireless dongle (rtl8192cu type, same device code 0bda:8178 as you) when I first had my mut@nt HD51. At the time the problem was due to a generic rtl8xxx kernel module being used and we fixed it by ensuring the rtl8192cu module was built and added to the kernel.
However, you seem to have the relevant module already present in your kernel and the dmesg shows the same rtl8192cu module in use, both in 026 and 028. However there is a difference in the 028 build which shows " ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'rtl_rc'" which may or may not be of relevance. I wonder is there a difference in the firmware modules "rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw_TMSC.bin" or similar which is causing the problem?
@birdman may be of more help here as he was hugely helpful in getting the build process sorted in my case.
Have you installed any extra drivers? Drivers for this stick i'm sure are pre-installed. Re-flash, do not restore anything. Reboot after connecting wifi adapter then test.
I cannot replicate here.
Because of the usb tuner problem, I reflashed 027 without a settings or plugin restore. Then Samba wouldn't install.
I then added my usual settings, and moved to 028 with a settings restore.
So no extra plugins or drivers at all (RTL8192CU is pre-installed), but Samba was set up slightly differently to make it work.
I can try a reflash of 028 with nothing else. A Samba install makes it much easier to observe failing, but I'll try without first.
Reflashed 028, and just configured wireless network.
Five telnet sessions repeatedly cat'ing a file to pc worked ok - just the occasional slightest blip which I would have expected.
Adding ftp'ing a large file made no difference, so far so good.
Streaming a recording to OpenWebif on pc is freezing every few minutes for between 5 and 10 seconds (one time was 30 seconds).
I've currently got my pc connected to Ethernet, so the only wireless bit is et10k to router.
It's certainly not as bad as yesterday afternoon when I was trying to get wireless-info working - it was almost unusable.
I'll add samba ("opkg update", followed by a GUI samba install) and see what happens. And repeat on 026.
Added samba - very clunky - one telnet "cat" session is now stopping and starting every few seconds.
No blips at all on 026, telnet flying and OpenWebif streaming to pc (now on wifi) 100% ok.
Here's the relevant part of my dmesg (on a mutant HD51). Very similar to yours but a few minor differences:

[ 9.184355] rtl8192cu: MAC address: 00:e0:4c:xx:xx:xx < your dmesg doesn't seem to have this line (you may have removed it, I have obscured some of the octets)

Don't know if it will help or hinder :)
One other thing I noticed is that your eth0 seems to be active. I have wifi only enabled on my box with the ethernet port disabled. Maybe there is some interaction causing an issue?
It is using a different driver.
Previously it was using:
kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8192cu.ko
now it is using:
kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/rtl8192cu.ko
which will be because linuxwifi is set in the kernel build options.
This (new) driver is, AFAIK, the one which works for a mutant51 (the issue there was that the rtl8xxxu driver wasn't working well).

The testing I did yesterday (Monday) definitely didn't. (I was using the same cable to connect my pc to the router.)
Edit: Where did you see eth0 as active, I can't see any reference.

@birdman - where are you seeing that it is using 8192cu.ko? The dmesg and lsmod show that rtl8192cu is in use for that adapter in both 026 and 028. The rtl8xxxu driver was causing all sorts of issues for me with that dongle for sure.

The ifconfig shows the eth0 (and eth1) as being present whereas on my system ifconfig shows only wlan0 as I have eth0 disabled. I misused the word "active" as there is no actual traffic shown on your ifconfig - just that it is enabled.

Nope!
Unless @birdman is referencing something which is not in the thread (maybe a build bitbake)?

Isn't this what you were referring to?
filename: /lib/modules/4.8.3/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/rtl8192cu.ko
No - he's referring to the 8192cu.ko module (no rtl prefix). I think that module has been used on some other machine builds.
@birdman - where are you seeing that it is using 8192cu.ko?I'm looking at the files distributed with the image.
What gets build for 8192cu depends on whether linuxwifi is defined as a feature for the kernel. For 4.0.1 it wasn't, but for 4.8.3 it is.
So looking at the files in the 4.2.026 image for the e10k I can see:
image/lib/modules/4.0.1/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8192cu.ko
but looking at the 4.2.027 image I see:
image/lib/modules/4.8.3/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/rtl8192cu.ko
Which is why the dmesg outputs in #2 differ.
dmesg in both 026 and 028 is showing usage of the rtl8192cu.ko module. There's no reference to 8192cu.ko in either that I can see so I assume it's not using it although it may well be present.
Are you saying that there is no rtl8192cu.ko module in the 026 image? I'm not clear on whether both modules are there in 026. If not, then the 8192cu.ko module is announcing itself as rtl8192cu which is confusing at best.

dmesg in both 026 and 028 is showing usage of the rtl8192cu.ko module.No, it's not. It's showing the use of a module for rtl8192cu. It doesn't mention the file name. See the modinfo details in #24.
Added samba - very clunky - one telnet "cat" session is now stopping and starting every few seconds.I don't really think samba is the cause, it just makes it appear worse, if that makes sense.
If anything, it seems to get progressively worse as time goes on.
'028+wireless+absolutely nothing else' was switched on for some time this morning. I then tried ping as another test, and it was very slow.
Traceroute is ok.

Thanks ccs - that's new information and @birdman has commented on it. The modinfo in post #4 doesn't reference the 8192cu.ko file at all (presumably because it was run on 028?). It would seem that the two files actually contain different driver code. The fact that dmesg is showing the use of the rtl8192cu driver in both 026 and 028 is masking the fact that different files have been used. I would have thought that it would be good practice to match the filename to the module, but there you are...
Those rtl8192cu wifi dongles don't all seem to behave in the manner expected. Mine will work with the generic rtl8xxxcu driver up to the point of establishing a crypto handshake with the router and then immediately lock up. So I had to go back to the actual rtl8192cu driver. In your case you may have to install the 8192cu.ko driver.
In your case you may have to install the 8192cu.ko driver.This is where I start to struggle.
I can see how to uninstall the driver on 4.8.3, but were is the 4.0.1 driver to put back?.
I'm assuming it needs to be uninstalled/installed, not me just overwriting rtl8192cu.ko with 8192cu.ko ?
Would this be a start (on 026)....

In your case you may have to install the 8192cu.ko driver.Remember that it's not just USB Wifi dongles which have an issue with the 4.8.3 kernel on Xtrend boxes - it's USB tuners (Sundtek and PC-TV) as well. There are a number of options:
Stay on 4.8.3, but switch off the linuxwifi option - unlikely to help the USB tuners
Switch back to the 4.0.1 kernel for all Xtrend boxes - but presumably any new Xtrend box/fix will use 4.8.3, so the problem may recur there if the root cause isn't investigated here.

rtl8192cu-rev2 is (or should be) the one installed on the image by default.
The other one is an rtl8xxxu driver.Yes, that's about the only thing I have worked out.
I wondered if I downloaded from 026 I could reinstall it on 028, but something tells me no chance.
If there's anything I can try out, please let me know.
I don't think anything has changed, image-wise, so usb wireless rtl8192cu on 4.2.029 is still very slow, confirmed by ping.
Looking at ping a bit more...
Most of the time 029 (2ms to 3ms) is about 3 times faster that 026 (6ms to 7ms), but has occasional bad spells, and some Destination host unreachable's.
026 has the odd poorish spell as well and averages 11ms.
029 averages 62ms.
I don't think anything has changed, image-wiseThere was one driver used with kernel 4.0.1, and a different one with kernel 4.8.3.
There are also USB tuner issues with the 4.8.3 kernel (they don't work at all).
There was one driver used with kernel 4.0.1, and a different one with kernel 4.8.3.
There are also USB tuner issues with the 4.8.3 kernel (they don't work at all).I know, I was referring to moving from 028 to 029.
Ping is now 10 times faster on 4.2.030 than it was on 4.2.029.
Has anything changed?
Playback of a recording on a Fire TV with Kodi appears to be ok as well, apart from one thing.
A (Kodi) information message is permanently onscreen, VU+/Enigma2 client - connection lost.
It stays on for about 10 seconds, momentarily goes off, and then is back again. But playback is not affected (as far I can see/hear).
Krypton 17 seems to have got rid of the connection lost message. (It is configurable, and can be permanently switched off, although I haven't(yet))
Ping is now 10 times faster on 4.2.030 than it was on 4.2.029.
Has anything changed?
Surely someone could offer an answer, there was a clear improvement testing 030 2 days ago.
Nothing has changed at my end, my router hasn't been rebooted for 2 weeks, so a simple yes or no would be handy.
Surely someone could offer an answer, there was a clear improvement testing 030 2 days ago.The problem from my viewpoint, and I suspect all others, is that I'm not aware of anything changing.
So I can't say, "Yes".
But I can't be certain about that, so I can't answer, "No" either.
... thanks, that's all I needed to know.
When a wifi connection is established, does it negotiate speed limitations, which could vary from one connection to the next?
When a wifi connection is established, does it negotiate speed limitations, which could vary from one connection to the next?No. It actually negotiates the speed all of the time.
But the speed wouldn't have much effect on ping times, given that ping packets are, by default, quite small.
No. It actually negotiates the speed all of the time.

Cheers,
The odd thing is that ping went from 2ms typically on 029 to 0.2ms on 030. And now 026 is down to 0.2ms :confused:
I'll have another try later.

That's a very good ping on wifi - almost unreal! I just about get .2ms pings on my 1GB wired LAN connections.

Oh sorry - when I saw .0.101 address I assumed it was the router!
You had me panicking again for a minute - my address was .1.101:)
Still creaking on 5.0.001, I'm afraid.
Still creaking on 5.0.001, I'm afraid.
thats disappointing i use a gigablue x3 i have to use older build 0.28 for wifi to work properly , 5.0 isnt released for it as waiting for drivers was hoping wifi would be fixed
I've finally managed to move onto 5.0.13, so the kernel has now moved on to 4.10.6
rtl8192cu wifi is still as bad as it was after the kernel change when 4.2.027 was released.
Here's a modinfo....

I've given it a go, but it hasn't improved, although telnet seems a lot "snappier".
A simple file copying test runs at half the speed of 4.2.26.
I blacklisted like this, not sure it it right

Is this commit of any significance?
https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes/commit/76b54cd1af89158411d0b294a45ad6a7671d94f0Possibly not. I don't think that's the driver that is used, and if there were such an issue it should fail to compile (prototype mismatch), which it doesn't.
You could see what happens if you install kernel-module-rtl8xxxu and blacklist rtl8192cu.
Just having another look for what it's worth. RTL8192CU wifi on 5.0.016 connects ok, but is now so slow that copying files fails with a windows error.
kernel-module-rtl8xxxu is better, but runs 80% slower than 4.2.026 .
What is odd, if I go into the network setup device menu (but do nothing more), the transfer rate drops by another 50%, but immediately picks up again as soon as I exit the menu.
