Hi,

I try without success to attach the a.m. adapter to my NanoPi Neo.
OS is Armbian_5.25_Nanopineo_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113


I did two trials in order to install the driver:
1. Download the Edimax driver und run the install.sh script.
   Result: Error in the processing of the make file.
2. Followed an comprehensive advice from the net.
   Result: Error in kernel generation.
Question: Has somebody got this device running on the Neo?
And how you have performed this?

 

Please consider, I am just a Linux user, but (unfortenately) no expert.

Any hints are very welcome.
Thanks, Walter

Without logs, it is extremely hard to assist. Type:

 

armbianmonitor -u

Add: rather get one of tested. It might be cheaper, scroll down.

Hello Igor,

Many thanks for your quick reaction and your support.
My hope has been, that someone had already installed that driver successfully.

 

But let's try the hard dubugging way. In the following, you will find my session
with a call of armbianmonitor at the beginning and end.

 

walter@nanopineo:~/wlan3$ pwd
/home/walter/wlan3
walter@nanopineo:~/wlan3$ ls -l

Please have look, hopefully you are able to see the reason for the error.

Hello Igor,

 

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried all three methods with no success.

 

Now I have ordered new WLAN adapters, which are validated for NanoPi Neo.

After they arrive, I will let you know wether they do work.

In the meanwhile, I will work with NanoPi Duo and the embedded WLAN on this device with Friedly works well.

Must have a look, wether Armbian does support this device either.

 

Best regards

Walter

I have installed the USB wifi adapter with RTL8188 on NP Neo.

Runs perfectly!

 

Many thanks developer - great job!!!
