Are you asking me? I am only trying loboris images from his mega site. Link on Post #1. I don't have a clue how to modify anything so looking for something complete that works. His images are the most complete and working systems with simple one line directions. They are as close to orangepienean? as I can find.

Everything else is roll your own or "You wait some time...".
If I can go to terminal and type in lsmod I will post results in a few minutes.

Tried to install firmware-linux, still not working. No wlan0, although lsmod shows rtl8192cu.

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

Tried that, not working. No rename7 or wlan0 devices showed when running ifconfig -a.

@loboris, Just re-read the page 1 instructions...I haven't been moving the lib folder from scriptbin.kernel.tar to linux partition (windows machine, can't see it.) Is that part(all) of my problem with install or resize with the latest images?
OpenSUSE xfce and fedora 22 mate on Opi Plus.
As-posted on mega they find and connect with on-board WiFi right away.
Currently using OpenSUSE.
Thanks.

I don't think the firmware-linux package contains any wireless adapter firmwares.

You should be installing (depending on the brand/make of your wireless adapter):

firmware-ralink [ Binary firmware for Ralink wireless cards ]
firmware-realtek  [ Binary firmware for Realtek wired and wireless network adapters ]
firmware-atheros  [ Binary firmware for Atheros wireless cards ]
firmware-zd1211  [ binary firmware for the zd1211rw wireless driver ]
firmware-brcm80211 [ Binary firmware for Broadcom 802.11 wireless cards ]
firmware-ti-connectivity  [ Binary firmware for TI Connectivity wireless network adapters ]
firmware-libertas  [ Binary firmware for Marvell Libertas 8xxx wireless cards ]

there are more/other wireless firmware packages available, but these don't seem to be supported by the kernel 3.4.39 (no drivers available)

@giacomo892 if you want to build the dvb modules yourself, you can clone linux sources from GitHub. Use the included scripts to enable the desired modules and build the kernel.
You must build on i386 machine (tested on ubuntu/debian 64bit), not on OPI.

@Harald  There were several wi-fi adapters reported as working. If the adapter is working it will work on any OS and any board.

@stone  on-board wifi on opi-2/plus works without problem, if not check if 8189es module is loaded

@Survive-Pi  I've already answered about fs_resize on Fedora, use full path to command:  sudo /usr/local/bin/fs_resize

@lymon linux-firmware package does contain RTL8192cu firmware (at least the ubuntu's one).

@jacer @Survive-Pi wifi interface name has nothing to do with kernel module loading (the interface is renamed if the same image is used on different board)

@fork  does your RTL8192cu work or not? If yes, can't you remember what have you done to make it work?

@raid3868  I don't know the reason for "kernel modules failed to load" message on OpenSuse, but it looks like it has no negative effect, everything is working as expected.
