Was the firmware for the driver in question installed as well?

What's the output of 'lspci -k' and 'lsusb -v' for your device?

Today I've bought a new USB wi-fi adapter which has rtl8192cu chip. I've plugged it into my lubuntu computer and it worked out of the box, however soon it drops the connection. I googled it and found out that many people have the same problem with this chip ( but mostly with *buntu flavours). I also found the workaround here: https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes This box will be soon ( I hope ) will be transferred to Gentoo. I wonder if some one here is using this chip with Gentoo with new kernels, does it run ok and if this problem of *buntu specific? Thanks
