Just picked up a USB wireless adapter from Amazon. It's nothing fancy but supports 'n' frequency. I've always used my C2 and XU4 via Ethernet but now I'm traveling so much more and need the ability for my C2 to scan and connect to available access points. My question is after just inserting the USB adapter into my C2, is there anything additional packages or 3rd party tool / drivers needed? I show the following:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@c2 ~]# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS]
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:0109 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05e3:0610 Genesys Logic, Inc. 4-port hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub')
And I can see the adapter when I list them out:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@c2~]# ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 4096 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether yy,yy,yy,yy,yy,yy brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff')
Is it really that simple?
