[designPrj]

This is what i get when i try to use this driver on Debian power pc 32 bit with kernel
3.2.0.4 . I just compiled the version from here. When i plug in the wifi goungle i get this error.
Also i get the same error is i use the driver frm edimax.com web site, even through there are differences in size of these drivers, they report same version:

The fixes in this repository are not needed for kernels < 3.8 or so. Try using the driver provided by realtek. I would give a link, but their website seems to be down at the moment.

[designPrj]

I get the same error using the driver on they web site. It seems the code is shared with that one.
Probably i should also notify them about this error. Do you know where?

[designPrj]

I mean i get the same error with the driver from edimax.com. The web site from realtek is down for some time. Do anyone here has that driver from realtek already download to give it a try ?

[pvaret]

Yes, this smells like it should probably be reported to RealTek. Edimax
just makes products that use RealTek's chipsets, so probably can't do
anything about it.

  They have their own driver, but looks untested on this platform
