I'm back !

So, I take a look to the post and ok for the driver.
I finally could make it and install it (r8712u.ko)

I installed netcfg to configure a profile :
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'C')ONNECTION="wireless"
ESSID="MY_ESSID"
INTERFACE="wlan0"
DESCRIPTION="Automatically generated profile"
SCAN="yes"
IP="dhcp"
TIMEOUT="10"
SECURITY="wep"
KEY="WEP_CODE"


when i netcfg <my_profile> always the error :
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'n')l80211: 'nl80211' generic netlink not found
Failed to initialize driver 'nl80211'
rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device


So I find this here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=940669
and so chane the line WPA_DRIVER='wext'

Now I have another error when netcf <my_profile> :
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'n')etcfg <my_box>
:: <my_box> up [BUSY] wlan0: Unsupported driver ''
> wpa_supplicant did not start, possible configuration error
[FAIL]


It's a pain to configure !!!!!

Someone has another idea please ?
Is there a model of usb wifi that are "plug&play" with this linux ?

Ok, I found the solution !

My profile was not good.
I change the first line for :
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'P')RE_UP="ifconfig wlan0 down; iwconfig wlan0 essid mon_ESSID; ifconfig wlan0 up"


Work great since !

Tks all for help
