Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version:

Hello,

 

I am trying setup a TP-Link TL-WN725N USB WiFi dongle to work under an ARMv7l using the official beta Linux drivers. I've cross-compiled the driver module for an iMX6/QD board. The driver loads successfull, the confiuration setup is read from the eFUSE but the firmware fails to load. I am getting the following error:

[ 1513.849204] RTW: _netdev_open(wlan0) , bup=0

[ 1514.003958] RTW: -871x_drv - drv_open fail, bup=0

when I try to activate the interface with `ifconfig wlan0 up`. The dongle is plug-in into an USB-2.0 port. I can query the dongle with `iw list` but I cannot use it

because of the above error.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
