Good job. How did you solve that? Rtl8188cus which uses the same rtl8192cu driver.

sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo ifconfig rename7 down
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

try this

I suppose you've installed linux-firmware package ?
If you want to help, it would be good if you are more specific in your posts.

I'll include available dvb modules. Kernel sources are available on GitHub.

Thanks so much for your work! I'll donate asap

So I just need to download the source and place it in the sdcard and then build against it?

Sorry, I dont remeber exactly what have I done . It was a month ago, on my first OPI PC board. I'm going away for two days, i'll check it in monday.

@jacer Could you try this to test wifi firmware loading problem (I don't have any wifi adapter at the moment):

sudo chown -R root:root /lib/firmware/*
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware

Copy code

and test your RTL8192 wifi adapter.

I've seen the post about mainline kernel, thanks. I'll try it.

loboris, you say " It is much simpler to use the wifi module that works or OPI-2/OPI-PLUS"

Which wifi module works with which OS on what H/W board? Are you suggesting we should buy OPI-2/OPI-PLUS boards instead of OPI-PC?
Thanks again for your hard work to get OPI to work.

@Harald I've got loboris' ubuntu 15.04 image running on my OPI-plus but no WIFI... probably I'm doing something wrong (wifi was working with the OrangePI distro) but don't run off and buy a plus yet :-)

Finally have wifi on OPiPlus again. Fedora22 Mate and OpenSUSE xfce work as downloaded. But install_to_emmc does not work (neither does fs_resize) If I use kernelscript.bin files after first booting with as-burned image of OpenSUSE there is no change. fs_resize : command not found.
