Can't get TP-Link Tl-WN321G Wlan-USB-Stick to work.

I've recenetly bought the mentioned USB-Wlan-Stick as I thought that it was well supported in Linux, however, I can't get it to work. Any help would be appreciated
I've installed rt73-cvs from the AUR, rt2x00-rt71w-fw form Core (rt73-cvs depends on this) as well as dhcp and wpa_supplicant.
The module rt73 loads and with 'iwconfig' I can see a new device 'wlan0' which I can bring up using 'ifconfig wlan0 up'. The netcfg-profile looks like this:
CONNECTION="wireless"
INTERFACE=wlan0
SCAN="yes"
SECURITY="wpa"
ESSID="KLIMCZAK"
KEY="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
IP="dhcp"
TIMEOUT=20
IWOPTS="mode managed channel 1"
It is exactly the same as the one on my laptop (only the Interface-name is different). On my laptop (Intel IPW3945 wlan-card) it works just fine.
netcfg on the computer with the tp-link-stick always fails with:
":: home up  - Wireless association failed. [FAIL]"
While trying, the LED on the stick is flashing.
Any ideas what I could try? Or could someone at least explain to me what exactly this error-message is supposed to tell me?
edit:
By the way, I also tried the 'rt73usb' module that comes with the kernel, but it doesn't add an interface to the list at 'iwconfig'.
Using 'rt73' I also tried to set up the network manually with:
iwconfig wlan0 essid KLIMCZAK
ifconfig wlan 0 up
dhcpcd
Where the last step fails with:
err, wlan0: timed out
warn, wlan0: using IPV4LL address 169.254.105.6
I'm not sure if this error appears because I haven't invoked any wpa-stuff yet or if it is because of another problem. Same error appears on the commandline when I try to setup the configuration using rutilt.

I've tried setting the interface up/down and it doesn't help. I don't think there's a driver conflict (but it's a bit hard to tell as there seems to be a few different modules that work together).
So you tried to set it DOWN and then
netctl restart your-profile

  • How can I get network connection when booting from usb stick or dvd

    Computer: HP Pavillion P6-2450eo

    Thruogh F9 I can boot in uefi mode from DVD and USB stick but I can't get at network connection from the loadet program. I have tried with Ubuntu 13.04, Linux Mint 15 and Boot Repair - all with same result.
    How can I get the programs to boot with network connection?
    On beforehand thanks!

    Please verify that the programs (Ubuntu, Mint, Boot-Repair, etc.) you are attempting to use, support the Atheros AR8161L gigabit ethernet controller natively. Not all operating systems and software programs support every network device and/or configuration otut of the box. Many times, specific drivers must be loaded or injected into the OS for a device to function properly.

  • How can I get the link not to override my style sheet formatting?

    I have an html page with text that has a style sheet applied
    to it. When I insert a link into parts of the formatted text, the
    style sheet formatting is lost in the linked text (the text for
    mylars, shapes and number shapes becomes smaller: see code below).
    How can I get the link not to override my style sheet
    formatting?
    Here is the html code I am referring to:
    <span class="bodyheader20pt">Fall into winter's biggest
    celebration with our New Year's Day <a href="

    I am using Dreaweaver CS3 on a Mac running OSX
    10.4.11.

    Show us this rule --> bodyheader20pt?
    Also, having this in your three anchor tags -
    style="text-decoration:none" -
    will prevent your anchors from displaying any stylesheet
    style for
    text-decoration.

    I can't get to links on web pages , shrink or enlarge the web page or show the other web pages that are open?The back arrow does work

    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

  • How can I get 300 dpi tifs out of webex stills & then worked on in adobe illustrator?

    How can I get 300 dpi tifs out of webex stills & then worked on in adobe illustrator?
    I have been trying to convert images created in webex and transferred to illustrator into 300 dpi tifs. They download as ucf's when generated on white board. Or I have to upload files from other webex participants coming in at 72 dpi, converting them to something bigger in photoshop to paint in before taking them back into the webex session as a doc that then gets worked on further during the session. Later they go into illustrator for some more work with vectors. That's fine for the web but now a publisher wants them as 300 dpi tifs and I can only get things back & forth as 72 dpi pdf's. If I try to bump them up with a resample, they come out teensy weensy. What am I missing and is there any way to make them look good?

    What I need is to be able to transfer the images between formats without degradation of the resolution and find ways to sharpen what I have even if I can't increase pixels. If the original I'm delivered is a 96 dpi power point slide, for example, that's what I have to work with, I'm using Illustrator to compensate with vectors. But then I still need to get it back to a 300 dpi tiff to meet the specs.

  • I can't get my projects in Final Cut Pro X to work in 1080p. One turned out to be 1080p but I did everything the same as the ones that did not.  ***?  Any ideas?

    I can't get my projects in Final Cut Pro X to work in 1080p. One turned out to be 1080p by "accident" but I did everything the same as the ones that did not. Same camera/settings (shot in 60i).  I didn't really care cause I had to get some stuff done, but now I know I "can" dp them in HD but can't figure why the one went up to YT in full HD (and made a copy in my movies folder.  That one project acted totally different than the other 5 but I didn't change anything.  Can't get it to work again. ***?  Any ideas?

    No problem! If you're worried about more complicated edits (which in all honesty, should work no matter how many clips you select or how many effects are attached to them), you can always compound a clip first, and then copy it over after if you're afraid of lots of track clutter getting in the way. Not sure if they would break apart afterwards though if you wanted them to.

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
