Wifi USB Issue

[Dan9550]

I am having a strange issue where after maybe about 5 minutes of using wifi (about 5-6meg a sec worth of traffic). The wifi cuts out and will work if i replug the usb only for a moment then again will just cut out. Its a very annoying problem.

Anyone know how i can fix this?

I am using:
Raspberry Pi (512MB RAM)
Powered USB Hub
TP-Link TL-WN821N

Please give us the output of lsusb for your device. I make a guess that it works with the annoying realtek 8192cu driver. You could check if the module is loaded with

Code: Select all

# lsmod | grep 8192cu

If it is, maybe this post will enlight you http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 19#p353919

Suffering the same issue,

So i ran lsmod, there was no 8192cu.

ath9k_htc, ath9k_common, ath9k_hw, ath were there i assuming these are the wifi drivers.

Yes -- those are drivers for Atheros wireless adapters.

Anything useful in dmesg or /var/log/ ?

So tried turning power saving off as mentioned in another thread this didn't help, i am combing through dmesg now found this a lot

Code: Select all

Would be interested to see if the fiq_split branch makes any difference to this...

Code: Select all

sudo BRANCH=fiq_split rpi-update

Seems to be working alright, i don't seem to have wifi drivers or something though. The pi detects my usb but there is no wlan0
