wpa_supplicant is supposed to help with this but it would not work for me. We have to generate a wifi config file and add the network details. The number doesn't exactly match our chipset but its close enough to work. The interesting module is third last ( 8192cu). Snd 58447 5 snd_bcm2835,snd_timer,snd_pcm,snd_seq,snd_seq_device Now run lsmod to see avaliable kernel modules, hopefully we'll see something that matches our chipset. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN AdapterĪs you can see, my dongle is on the last line, with the chipset listed. The internal intel wifi adapter is garbage IMO. ~ $ lsusbīus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp.īus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hubīus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp.īus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. I have added 500G Samsung SSD & 8G Samsung RAM as well as using external 29 wifi adapter (OURLINK 802.11ac Dual Band 2.4G/5G 1200mbps High-Gain USB Wireless Long-Rang WiFi Network Adapter with Double 5dbi High Gain Antenna) with good results.

Some guides instruct you to either search apt for some extra packages, or install drivers from the cd that came with your dongle but I found this wasn't required.įirst we'll make sure the dongle is recognized with lsusb. # reboot the pi, most likely un-necessary but the update might # have pulled down some new firmware
Sudo apt-get install -y git build-essential vim tmux curl Sudo apt-get update -y & sudo apt-get upgrade -y # update apt-get's package index and upgrade any already existing packages You should update any existing software and optionally install some must haves before continuing. Once you have your SD card setup, plug in your Pi and the wifi dongle. This guide was written using the -wheezy-raspbian release. Prepare The Piįirst you have to install Rasbian onto your SD card, which is beyond the scope of this guide. Setting up wifi is pretty easy with the newer Rasbian releases (this guide was written for -wheezy-raspbian). I think both use the same Realtek based chipset ( RTL8188CUS). They come in a low profile option but I got the larger one with hopes for improved reception. I recently got a few Rasbperry Pis and some "Ourlink" 802.11b/g/n USB Wifi dongles.
