Can the kernel be bumped to a version that supports the driver for usb wifi dongle 8192eu?
I just looked and my kernel has a rtl8192cu driver...
did you run pine64_update_kernel.sh ? My kernel version is: ubuntu@pine64:/$ uname -a Linux pine64 3.10.102-0-pine64-longsleep #7 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jun 17 21:30:48 CEST 2016 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux ubuntu@pine64:/$ lsmod Module Size Used by rtl8192cu 66504 0 rtlwifi 60032 1 rtl8192cu rtl8192c_common 40280 1 rtl8192cu mac80211 370652 2 rtlwifi,rtl8192cu
Come have a chat in the Pine IRC channel >>

Yes, I ran the update scripts and have the same driver. This device really needs the eu, not the cu, driver. Not sure in which exact kernel version this got supported a while back, but that is the only way to solve this in a robust way.

I have reported it at https://www.pine64.pro/bug-reports-3-10-65-bsp/ under the title "Support USB WiFi dongle driver 8192eu" but could not link to it directly. Perhaps someone else can post a direct link to it.

Did you try 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get install linux-firmware' ? That worked for me, and I've had 5 different usb wifi adapters work seamlessly on my Pine64 with Debian Mate.

I'm having problem with my wifi adapter and I would consider buying new one if there is one inexpensive that works for sure.

if this is debian the realtek firmware should be already there if it is ubuntu firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-realtek are more than likely your best bet
try apt-cache search firmware to search for all firmware packages (realtek should be listed there as well as linux-nonfree)
If you like my work be sure to check out my site or wish to donate to the cause

Hi CaptainZalo, Please list the 5 models of usb wifi adapters that work for you on the Pine64. I'm pretty sure that this would benefit others as well. Thanks btw I have a Prolink usb wifi dongle that should be compatible. I've yet to test it out since I need to obtain a switch that I can solder onto the board. When that's done, I will install debian and test out the dongle. Its supposedly linux & android compatible.

I haven't subscribed to this thread, so I didn't see this post until vinod made me aware of it. Here is what I wrote him in a PM: I am currently on summer vacation and won't get back home until last half of august. I can remember this: 1: NetGear N300 Mini USB, unknown chipse. Realtek I think. 2: WiPi old adapter with BCM43143 chipset. 3: New WiPi adapter (red text and slanted edge) with Ralink 5370 chipset. 4: A NoName adapter with RealTek RTL8192 chipset. 5: Last one is a nano style USB linksys adapter, but I can't remember name or chipset. All of these work in ubuntu and debian images after doing 'sudo apt-get install linux-firmware' |
