WiFi module

What wifi module is the Orange Pi using.
I checked the schematics but either I overlooked it or it is not there.
BTW does the board also have bluetooth?

Thanks, Frans

Ok, understood.
found a datasheet here: http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&am ... amp;bvm=bv.83829542,d.d24

This is a USB module.
Unfortunately it is not detected by linux (no idea why).

If I execute the lsusb command I get:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1a40:0101 Terminus Technology Inc. Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

No leaf node specifiying wifi.
If I connect an usb device to the outside port lsusb does show it. (an d also reveals that the usb ports on the outside are on bus 002)

Hi,
Here is the driver for rtl8188eu:
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu
Is it good?
However, it needs to install the headers to compile it. I have 3.4.104+ kernel (bananian), and the header is not in Synaptic. How to install it ?

Thanks

I have tried to install the driver. (compilation of 3.4.105 kernel, and compilation of the driver)
You can see my question here because I don't understand why it doesn't work.

And I wonder if onboard wifi bus is really USB ?

onboard wifi bus is really USB. I'm testing it in lubuntu. you will wait me.

Thanks.
In Bananian (XFCE and kernel 3.4.105+) I have this:

$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1a40:0101 Terminus Technology Inc. 4-Port HUB
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Copy code

No wifi...

Another question: what is the "upgrade key" ?

Yes, I know !
The question is: why it's not detected ?

Because it's Bananian. Same story with USB...
