Fix to allow 5G connection
If possible, please try this patch. It allows my RTL8821AE to connect to a 5G router.
At the moment I have tried your git repo, and the 5G is back. I didn’t change the firmware because their md5sums are the same. Do you need to test your patch above too? Do you need that it is applied to hw.c in the kernel or to the one in your git? Yes, please test. It should be applied to the kernel source for the kernel(s) that are failing. It works for me, but I want to confirm that it fixes your problem as well. The git repo is OK. Since there is rc6, the patch was applied to the latest kernel, but to no avail, sorry. Do you want me to try on rc5? Do you want to test your git repo again with rc6? Created attachment 158751 [details]
Additional patch that is needed
This second patch is also needed. It had been applied to my system, but apparently I never sent it upstream.
With both of the patches applied to a clean 3.18-rc6 source, I can connect to a 5G access point using the RTL8821AE.
Originally, I asked you to assign this bug to me. Unless you change the assignment now, I am not able to change the status.
Created attachment 158771 [details] attachment-18301-0.html Sorry for not assigning the bug to you, bur I'm not familiar with the system used on bugzilla. I'm going to fix it ASAP. I will try your patches later today, because now I am far from home.

Originally, I asked you to assign this bug to me. Unless you change the assignment now, I am not able to change the status. -- You are receiving this mail because: You reported the bug. After applying the second patch you provided here, 5G is back again! Nice work I'm unable to assign the bug to you, so if you really need it, you should explain how to do it. Best regards Valerio I do not need to have it assigned to me; however, I am unable to change the status as I do not have the necessary privileges. That means the bug will remain with status NEW, rather than being resolved. To the assignee: The necessary patches to fix this bug are being sent upstream today. The fact is that when this bug has been opened, the system did something automatically and thus it has been assigned to drivers-network-wireless. Anyhow, if the only thing you want it's to change status, I can do it for you. FWIW, I think anyone can assign a bug to themselves. The "take" link next to the Assigned To line in the header is for that. |
