patience :) just RTL8188CU works unreliable now, all other things are tested and work
apparently kernel 3.4 have no RTL8188CU support and Realtek drivers work with problems
Yes, there is problem with it.
I had an USB Ralink WiFi at hand and it worked like a charm, but not the WiFi module with RTL8188CU.
Even with the 3.3 kernel from r2 it was detected (as two adapters actually), but didn't connect to my AP with WPA2, but with different one (still with WPA2) it worked.
I don't remember which one was with AES or TKIP only and which one was with both TKIP+AES and both of them where reset after that, but i can retest if it can help.

EDIT: And does SPI work with 3.4 as i need it for my project and it is the reason for moving to RPi for now.

1 month passed, and still the latest Olimex-provided 3.4 kernel has serious issues with USB support.

Always (didn't) worked like that, since the beginning of 3.4 work, as already stated multiple times here and on the "sunxi-linux" board.

And, again as already stated multiple times, this is a regression from 3.3, because 3.3 at least recognized (briefly) the keyboard and created a proper entry and MIDI Input Device.

And, no, I won't bother writing about this on the "sunxi-linux" board again.

But now, at least, we have Olimex kernel-building instructions on the Wiki, Olimex patches for 3.4 kernel, Olimex .fex and a Olimex defconfig.
I appreciate that, honestly: it means Olimex committed to the product. Then things may or may not work, but at least Olimex worked on it and I appreciate it.
