You mean the upstream modules are buggy?
Loading any of the RTLWIFI modules caused the machine to reboot immediately.. This error was fixed in a recent submission (6 to 8 months ago) and applies to all RTLWIFI modules.
Fixed RTLWIFI modules can be found in:
rtlwifi-4.8.17-tinycore.tcz &
rtlwifi-4.8.17-tinycore64.tcz
Sources from git
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_newThe above extensions were a temporary resolution and provide a standalone replacement for wireless-4.8.17-tinycore extensions which were removed from wireless-tools dep file during running of rtlwifi-4.8.17-tinycore.tcz startup script.
Ideally, the rtlwifi modules within wireless-4.8.17-tinycore need replacing with modules from rtlwifi-4.8.17-tinycore, how would you like to proceed?
