connection drops constantly with edimax ew-7612uan USB wireless adapter


Hi there,

I have just installed a newly purchased edimax ew-7612uan USB wireless adapter onto my Arch machine, the problem that i'm getting is that the connection works fine on boot however it keeps dropping very frequently.

This can be reset by runing netctl restart my-network. which is a temporary fix but I can't keep on doing this every 5 minutes or so when the connection drops.

I don't think there is a problem with the USB adapter as it appears to work fine in windows.

Attached is a copy of the dmesg -w

It is probably a driver issue. Try getting a newer version of the driver or kernel.
