Hi,

 

I tried to compile and install this module https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes

 

but when I run: "sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.10" the result is

 

Building module:
cleaning build area.....

The armbian-5.05 builds for OrangePiOne ( simple/xfce - versions ) both fail with 8192cu wifi-dongle EW-7811Un.

Armbian seems to try to register the module twice and causes fatal crashes when using the installed driver(s).

The same dongle works flawlessly in the latest Openelec-build from orangepi.org.

 

It would be very helpful to have working wifi with proven reliable USB-dongles. Ethernet works fine in armbian5.05 with speeds of 94Mbs.

 

Will wifi be available in legacy or will we have to wait for 4.x ?

 

Thanks for the good work, OrangePiOne is starting to look like a real contender !

Images for H3 Oranges are in pre-release state and poorly working wireless is a known issue. We haven't touch it yet. There are a lot of open issues - welcome to step in.

Common Edimax dongle EW-7811UN is now fully working by following Igor's procedure for Armbian-5.05.. Thanks !  After configuring wlan0 and testing the connection I disabled old / enabled new WIFI driver

/etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf

#----------disable standard Armbian driver
# 8189es
#----------enable fixed WIFI driver for EDIMAX EW-7811UN
8192cu

The board now reliably starts up and connects to configured wireless network. Performance is adequate in a noisy busy environment, iperf reaches 87 mbps.

 

Problem SOLVED !

Hello!

I am quite new in linux and may be my question is very simple :)

after I did all procedures for Armbian-5.05 above wi-fi seems working (not stable) but if I boot the Orange PI PC without ethernet cable connected wi-fi interface not connecting to router automaticly

wi-fi is working if only eth0 is up. I dont understand how interfaces connected. pls help me

With default Debian simple networking config it's not possible to achieve this. Probably the simplest way is to use some other network manager which is also more user friendly, but we don't use it because it has some other limitations and bugs. 

 

However, to achieve only wlan0 connectivity you simply comment out eth0 in your /etc/network/interfaces and reboot into wireless only connection. I assume you already set it up properly - so you have a working wlan0 configuration ... 

 

Edit: Check this topic.

An additional step improves performance of module 8192cu ( Proven Edimax EW-7811UN as well as  $1.60 China-crapdongles from Aliexpress )

 

nano /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf

options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0

This stops erroneous power management ( dmesg flooded with attempted power switches ). After network reload/restart you get about up to 90mbps from EW-7811UN and gain much stability with the ChinaWifi-crapdongle at up to 60-70mbps, performances measured with iperf ( 4m open space from access point ). Before correction, values were at 12mbps for ChinaWifi. Edimax performs way better than the cheap dongles, but with the options set they are quite useful too . AP mode is not solved yet, might have to wait for saner drivers in mainline.

i managed to understand what rodolfo said at Posted 31 March 2016 - 10:10 PM .

 

 two more steps  is needed .

 

1) at terminal , wpa_passphrase MyPlace  7082446

 

this gives next info .

 wpa_passphrase MyPlace  7082446
network={
    ssid="MyPlace"
    #psk="7082446"
    psk=06d6f60771f44b0369f226c0ed4757cdc8939a2f3db
}
 

 

2)by using this info , rewrite /etc/network/interfaces

 

auto wlan0
    iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    wpa-ssid MyPlace
    wpa-psk 06d6f60771f44b0369fb1ed4757cdc8939a2f3db
auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
 

 

then

ifconfig wlan0
wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:22:cf:ec:c8:05  
          inet addr:192.168.10.220  Bcast:192.168.10.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::222:cfff:feec:c805/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:340 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:281 errors:0 dropped:1 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:42290 (41.2 KiB)  TX bytes:45931 (44.8 KiB)
 

 

splendid!   orange pi PC can fly in the sky .

i heartly thanks for rodolfo .

After fresh install of Armbian_5.10 (jessie legacy server) on OPI ONE wireless dongles 8192cu crash kernel. The proven procedure (see previous posts) for Armbian_5.05 does NOT work for Armbian_5.10.

Please advise as to how to proceed in Armbian_5.10 to make 8192cu dongles work again . Thanks.

Sorry for the noise - I had not realized that 8192cu module is fixed in the meantime. So all that is needed is enabling the module 8192cu . I will test available modes and performance.

 

Thanks for the good job !

(Load proper module at startup)

nano /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf

1. RTL8188CUS cheap no-name dongle from Aliexpress ( < $2 )

3. RTL8188CUS Edimax EW-7811Un high quality dongle ( $10 )

performance :    82.9 Mbits/sec

 

 

Remarkably all three dongles perform well in a not too noisy environment. The Edimax dongle is far superior when there is interference ( yes - we all sit in a giant microwave oven )

 

AP mode could not be tested yet. iw list does not return any result with the driver.

Hey rodolfo,

 

can you please tell me what steps are needed to get those wifi dongles to work? I was able to get them to work on 5.05 but not on 5.10.

Thanks in advance!

 

@ Igor & the armbian team

Thank you for this great OS! You made a great job!

For Armbian_5.05 you had to compile a patched version of module 8192cu. This is no longer needed, the module 8192cu is already compiled and ready to use. In order to load it at startup :

 

nano /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf

 

(change)
-------
#8189es
8192cu

configure your network as you did with Armbian_5.05 and you are set to go.

 

Enjoy !

try

make m=scripts

We changed to other kernel source in last build. It should be better / more recent.

These instructions do not work. when I enter this command I get the following error

I removed 

source "fs/fs_compat.kconfig"

 from /usr/src/linux-headers-3.4.112-sun8i/fs/Kconfig  and then I was able to run make scripts on Armbian 5.10

 

aka

sed -i '287d;' /usr/src/linux-headers-3.4.112-sun8i/fs/Kconfig 

make scripts

i was able to get the module built afterwards.. whether or not i get it to work with my wifi adapter is another story

 

update:

 

wifi seems to be alive now...  i went back to /usr/src and did

sudo cp ./rtl8192cu-fixes/blacklist-native-rtl8192.conf /etc/modprobe.d/
sudo cp ./rtl8192cu-fixes/8192cu-disable-power-management.conf /etc/modprobe.d/

rebooted then re-inserted the wifi

Hello everyone

I am a proud new owner of an orange pi pc. I am new here and very grateful for your work

on armbian which makes the board usable. So I sent a small bitcoin donation yesterday.

Now, I am undertaking the first steps with armbian, using the new 5.1 version,
trying to use wifi with 8189cu driver using one of those dongles:
 

Dongle 1: china , lsusb:

Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter B

or alternatively dongle 2, a well known Edimax 7811un, lsusb:

Bus 004 Device 002: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS]

both dongles worki well in raspi 2. When one of them is inserted in third boot,
armbian will automatically load rtl8192 module, which does not produce a wlan interface.

So according to rodolphos post #18 in this thread I have changed /etc/modules commenting out
#8189es and inserting 8192cu at the top. I reckon this is not the same as rtl8192.

now a wlan0 device shows up when entering "ifconfig".

iwlist wlan0 then shows visible networks, like in this extract:

innocent networks removed for protection.
Using wpa_passphrase I have created this gast.conf for wpa_supplicant.

}


when now entering wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan0 -c gast.conf -d
the driver cannot be opened and the response is like this:

So this is it. Of course I also tried "desktop" image with wicd automatic configuration which fails the same, but does not show any debug info.

I would be thankful for any tips!

Obviously your network dongles are recognized. Try the following steps :

 

nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
        ssid="Gast"
        psk=1a97bf36071e3e957e4c68cd530c56d2e328a4fcde5540c18a103477c7cc23e5
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
 

nano /etc/network/interfaces

--------------------------------------

allow-hotplug wlan0
   iface wlan0 inet dhcp

        wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
 

 

>>>>>There may be hotplugging junk left from previous attempts

 

nano /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

------------------------------------------------------------

(clear out all wlan entries)

 

restart and enjoy !

@rodolfo:

My biggest thanks to you! I had read this in the thread before but adding the right and commenting out the wrong module in this file was not enough to configure the network via wicd in my case (wicd's error notification: bad password).

Thanks to your comment #22 I did the configuration myself and it worked immediately!

 

I've written a short tutorial in the German Orange Pi Forum, I hope that's ok for you (credits to this thread are in there, of course!).

 

Have a nice weekend!

I'm at the end of my rope trying to get this to work with 5.1

Original wifi module that worked with 5.05

lsusb:
ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter

Tried

nano /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf

#8189es
8192cu

I get this in my dmesg

Error: Driver 'rtl8192cu' is already registered, aborting...

and lsmod gives:

Module                  Size  Used by
rtlwifi                46157  0
rtl8192c_common        33398  0
mac80211              363732  2 rtlwifi,rtl8192c_common
8192cu                627893  0

iwconfig shows the device just fine.  After 2 days, I thought it was the cheap dongle, so I went and purchased the recommended one and still it doesn't work

lsusb:
ID 20f4:648b TRENDnet TEW-648UBM 802.11n 150Mbps Micro Wireless N Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS]

I've tried blacklisting the driver, which causes nothing to work (as expected).  I've tried everything in Post #22 and still nothing.

 

HELP!!

 

Some additional information:

started over with a fresh image, enabled 8192cu in modules.conf (disabled 8189es) and made no other changes to any files.  lsmod shows 8192cu as the only driver loaded.  Insert TRENDnet device and here is the dmesg output

If I blacklist rtl8192cu, lsmod shows

 

Module                  Size  Used by
8192cu                627893  0

 

and dmesg has

 

root@orangepipc:~# dmesg | grep rtl
[    4.698692] rtl8192cu driver version=v4.0.2_9000.20130911

@Pride: no need to blacklist, what does iwlist wlan0 show?

 

gnasch

This is frustrating.  I just woke up, turned it on, and now it is working correctly with the TRENDnet dongle.  No changes from last night.  arghhh

 

iwlist wlan0 scanning showed the router on both dongles.  I'm not sure what changed, but I will cycle this through some shutdowns and reboots to see if it sticks.
