Raspberry PI - 2

[wudles]

COULD YOU PLEASE tell me how on earth you can get the Edimax 7811Un to work with Linux?

When you plug it in what do you get from lsusb?

On my PI B+ I get this:

Code:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS]

I create a file named /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf with the line:

Code:

options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0

So that it wouldn't sleep.

My /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file looks like this:

Code:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
        ssid="PLANETX.EXT"
        psk="secret stuff here"
        proto=RSN
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=CCMP
        auth_alg=OPEN
}

My /etc/network/interfaces looks like this:

Code:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp
