WIFI One More TIme

Postby HWP » Tue Aug 21, 2012 4:48 pm

New to Raspberry Pi, not so new to Linux; however, not a power user by any stretch.

Recently received Pi and loaded Arch Arm Pi version; runs fine and I can connect to the internet hardwired, but I cannot get wireless running. Have installed netcfg and I think I have the right drivers (RTL8192cu) for my wireless USB (Belkin).

Have created a profile in /etc/network.d but when I run netcfg -u profile_name, I get "Interface wlan0 does not exist." I've been unable to find any help with making wlan0 exist. So what needs to be done?

Thanks.

I have the wireless usb plugged into a powered 4 port hub. Is that what you mean?

Well clearly the driver is not the correct one or it just simply isin't
getting loaded up automatically for some reason.

Although not lain on the line, you have to get source, extract, modify a Makefile, compile copy somewhere something, introduce module to kernel, blacklist another module, reboot and modprobe module
wicd is a good utility for scanning and connecting

Thanks for the help, but I took the easy way out.

I had an older Cisco adapter on a PC so I tried that. It works just fine. And I moved the Belkin to the other PC. Easy is often better.

Thanks for the help.
