Most of the time that error is just a red herring and the wifi will actually connect if you try it again.
Believe me, I tried tens of times and it does not associate. Even opening the AP, without WPA2.
Connman does not create the folder in /storage/.cache/connman so I manually created it, with the proper mac address, by adapting another one I had from a thumb adapter; it still does not associate. An android AP is also no good.
LE does however work very well with a thumb adapter I have that uses the 8192eu driver which, by the way, did not work with OE 6 because the driver was not included. I then compiled OE from source with the driver included and it worked. This was solved by OE 7.
EDIT: In GitHub - pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes: Realtek 8192 chipset driver, ported to kernel 3.11.
These devices are known not to be supported:
- Alfa AWUS036NHR
- TP-Link WN8200ND <=== my own
...
Devices that use dual antennas are known not to work well. This appears to be an issue in the upstream Realtek driver.
