WOOPEEEE! I was pointed to a post http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/749-orange-pi-pc-wireless-module-8192cu/ and this: cd /usr/src/linux-headers-3.4.110-sun8i/ make scripts # this you will skip in the future when we fix the building process cd git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes cd rtl8192cu-fixes make ARCH=arm # when done modprobe -r <any 81xxx entries> insmod 8192cu.ko # dmesg usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8192cu and /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules gets "8192cu" Some playing around - hair pulling - dhcp works - and my static 192...58 is there. I'm logged in. Hey, Igor, Thanks

OK, here's what I've tried/done. I was testing via eth0 ssh'ed from my desktop. I'd try something, my OPi would lock up, I'd have to pull the card, mount to my desktop, edit interfaces or what ever file I had tweeked and reboot - then I notices that last time and in interfaces I had wlan5 and now ifconfig shows wlan9 - no 5. I do something and reboot and now wlan2 @(*&@#$ So I moved to my TV in the family room - HDMI, booted up, no eth0. I can run" iwlist scan" and I see every WIFI card in the house, router 1, r2 (bridge in garage), 2 Rokus, my wife's tablet, the refer & microwave in the kitchen - (well maybe that last is a stretch) But with only the wifi dongle "Cell1" right essid, right chan(6) and tons of other info. So the dongle is working, it sees my router. I've tried dhcp and network restart - nada. I've tried static - nada. Is it my rtl8192cus and the module has a bug? Question to someone who has a Orange Pi PC with wireless working - what dongle are you using? Thanks PS ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan6: link is not ready

If set to dhcp then no connection Oh and changed to wpa2-psk <headache>

Bottom line: remote wireless webcam (pwr avail but not cat5) My interfaces file says nothing about bridge/bf0 but I get a bridge connection - like it or not. I just logged on commented out the eth0 section and rebooted. Now 10 min later ... Unreachable. When I run: nmap -sU -p 67 --script=broadcast-dhcp-discover <router ip> I get an IP offered, but when I run dhclient it goes for 255.255.255.255 and times out. If I run the nmap using 255x4 it times out. Now I've never been into the dhclient code and this is the first time trying to get wifi working on a OPi PC. Question: Is my wlan5 section above correct? Is something mis-worded? Should my wep key be in quotes? Thanks bug

I've been fighting wifi on my OPi PC for days now and I've got it working - but only if eth0 if plugged in and I discovered: On my desktop: >arp -a | grep sg5[78] sg57 (192.168.0.57) at 12:c8:16:2e:a2:a5 [ether] on p32p1 sg58 (192.168.0.58) at 12:c8:16:2e:a2:a5 [ether] on p32p1 But on my OPiPc ifconfig returns: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 12:c8:16:2e:a2:a5 wlan5 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:7f:8c:0d:e5 And the Device table on my router shows only the sg57 eth0 mac. wlan5 is nowhere to be found. My /etc/network/interface: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.57 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 hwaddr 12:c8:16:2e:a2:a5 auto wlan5 iface wlan5 inet static wep-ssid <ssid> wep-psk <wep-key> address 192.168.0.58 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 hwaddr 00:11:7f:8c:0d:e5 I've even added "hwaddr" to the interface - there's 2 min I'll never get back... Thoughts? Thanks bug
