Thanks again Larry

installing the new driver got better on one sense, but worse on another.


Now testing with iperf i do not see any other speed drop, the connection is quite stable. However, i have programmed iperf to go for 500 seconds, but after about 300 the connection died at all and in dmesg i read:

[  779.196064] rtlwifi:rtl_cam_del_entry():<0-0> cam_bitmap: 0x2
[  779.196440] rtlwifi:rtl_cam_get_free_entry():<0-0> key_index=0,cam_bitmap: 0x12 entry_idx=4
[  779.201434] rtlwifi:rtl_cam_del_entry():<0-0> cam_bitmap: 0x10
[  779.201806] rtlwifi:rtl_cam_get_free_entry():<0-0> key_index=1,cam_bitmap: 0x12 entry_idx=1


Then i had either do disconnect and reconnect to the network, or disable/enable the network interface.

In modinfo i also see that the new driver is still using the old
firmware rtlwifi/rtl8192eefw.bin, while in the code i see it should load
rtlwifi/rtl8192eefw_new.bin. Is it just a broken message printed, or is
it really not loading the new firmware?

I hope my messages help you in getting a stable version of the driver. I
am bothering so much because, as most of us, i use my laptop for work
and i need to have a stable wireless connection.
