jdugat Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I've tried the EDIMax (EW-7811u) on my Orange Pi Zero. I was wondering if there is a another adapter I should be looking at or is there a working driver for the RTL8188CUS? Below is what lsusb gave me for this device. Bus 002 Device 002: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS] Uname Info is as follows: Linux OrangePI 3.4.39 #2 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 21 16:23:11 CST 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux Uname Info is as follows: Linux orangepizero 3.4.113-sun8i #16 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 13 14:15:57 CEST 2017 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux ifconfig -a info: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr be:21:a8:e9:0d:bc inet addr:192.168.1.174 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::bc21:a8ff:fee9:dbc/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2320 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:731 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:166786 (166.7 KB) TX bytes:95062 (95.0 KB) Interrupt:114 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr dc:44:6d:f5:cf:0d UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) wlx74da383b0bcf Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 74:da:38:3b:0b:cf UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dmitry_ Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 @jdugat RTL8188CUS works on 3.4.113 with a fixed driver. Look in this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdugat Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Dmitry, Thanks for your post replacing "extern __inline" with "static __inline" in the include file include/ieee80211.h allowed me to get the 8192cu fixes driver installed. However, now that the driver is installed, wlan0 has disappeared and the wlx74da383b0bcf interface name remains. If I find anything else out on how to get a wifi dongle to work in the Orange Pi Zero with the wlan0, I will post updates here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
