How to solve Edimax EW-7612UAn v2 (7392:7822) power management issues on Raspberry Pi (Raspbian WiFi disconnect)

  • On Raspbian, you don't need to install the 8192cu driver manually, as it comes with the distribution

  • To avoid disconnection issues, you need however to disable power management. This needs to be done in two places. First, this is what I have in /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf:
    options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0

  • This alone did not prevent the issue. I also had to add this entry to /etc/network/interfaces:
    auto wlan0
    allow-hotplug wlan0
    iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
    wireless-power off
    iface default inet dhcp
