I have a problem with a Realtek Wifi dongle. I have one that is working fine with Ropieee on a RPi 2B, but a new one (exactly the same model) on a different RPi 2B isn’t working. It looks like the driver is not found/loaded.
I’ve checked the driver (as with other Realtek stuff it’s out-of-tree) and there’s a rather large update. I’ll pull it in and make sure this lands in the next version.
ID’s and decription of both adapters are exactly the same. I’ve put them in my main Linux system to double check with lsusb -v . The first identification strings in dmesg of the Pi’s are also exactly the same.
Thanks for updating the driver in the next version. I will wait for that and check again.
After the last update the adapter still isn’t found. I discovered that I have a driver CD in the package. It contains a Linux folder. Would it help if I send these files to you?
I’ve read in the beta thread that you are working on the NextGen Ropieee as an OS of its own. Nice! So I understand that you don’t have the time to address the issue of a wifi driver/module and I’ve bought another wifi stick and that is working OK.
I was wrong apparently, the new TP-link T4U isn’t working after a cold reboot. I saw another thread on that so I will post my info there. Perhaps you need it for the NG version.
