Hi everybody. I've read a lot of info around there. But this is my first post.
The thing is I'm trying to configure a long range connection using an external USB antenna connected to the router.
After some module fighting, the device can scan for wifi networks and allows me to select and connect. But looks like the usb port resets as soon as wpa-supplicant starts its job.
I've even tried to manually set a lower power (10dBm) and even change the USB port just to be sure it wasn't a power draw issue (I think that given that scenario, it should arise when scanning for available networks. But just to be sure).
Tried different builds, compiled latest trunk with no success. Running on Reboot 17.01.4 r3560-79f57e422d as i write.
Anyone faced this before? I'm feeling a bit over my head atm.
Some logs and command output:
