[Bug 247528] rtwn(4) RTL8192EU usb wifi dongle can't connect to AP

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=247528

--- Comment #18 from Cy Schubert <cy@FreeBSD.org> ---
Let's add a little excitement to this:

Disconnecting the RTL8192EU from my laptop (where it did not work) and plugging
it into my sandbox machine downstairs, it immediately associated with my wife's
AP using wpa_supplicant with WPA2-PSK. I was not able to do this with my
laptop.

Interesting data point: My laptop does have a wlan (iwn) installed on the PCI
bus. But, the sandbox also has a wlan (ath) also installed on the PCI bus.

The question that needs to be answered is, what's the difference (other than
the obvious that one is a server and the other is a laptop and they each have a
different other wlan device installed on the PCI bus) between the sandbox
machine and the laptop. Other than the other two huge differences, which may or
may not have a bearing on why this is happening.

I'd be interested in finding out what anyone else with an installed wlan has
installed also on their PCI bus. Just checking an obvious hunch before digging
into this too deeply.
