Hello All,

Please, help! I am new to this so maybe it is just me not able to do obvious things.

I downloaded Ubuntu image from loboris. The Ubuntu Mint for Orange Pi PC. Now I have my USB ports working and the linux looks and feel very good. My Ethernet works also, actually I am writing this from the Orange board. Earlier images did not worked well, there was only one USB port active and seems that the Ethernet was also not working, the leds on the connector were lith but no activity.

loboris, thanks a lot for your images! Excellent work!

Unfortunately I don't know how to activate the WiFi. I will give here the data I managed to get out of the system:

code:

  1. orangepi@OrangePI:~$ ifconfig
  2. eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr e2:8c:94:7e:20:dd  
  3.           inet addr:10.0.0.1  Bcast:10.0.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

  21. orangepi@OrangePI:~$

code:

  1. orangepi@OrangePI:~$ lsusb

  12. Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  13. orangepi@OrangePI:~$
So seems that the USB adapter is recognized, but I still can't see how to activate the WiFi?

Thanks!

I have continued reading and debugging  and :

code:

  1. orangepi@OrangePI:~$ nmcli g
  2. STATE         CONNECTIVITY  WIFI-HW  WIFI     WWAN-HW  WWAN   
  3. disconnected  none          enabled  enabled  enabled  enabled
  4. orangepi@OrangePI:~$ sudo nmcli -a d wifi connect
  5. sudo: unable to resolve host OrangePI
  6. SSID or BSSID: A1-68D7BB
  7. Error: No Wi-Fi device found.
  8. orangepi@OrangePI:~$


Seems that the wlan is enabled but there is no device available. However:

code:

  1. orangepi@OrangePI:~$ lsusb
  2. Bus 008 Device 003: ID 09da:054f A4 Tech Co., Ltd
  3. Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
  4. Bus 007 Device 003: ID 09da:054f A4 Tech Co., Ltd
  5. Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
  6. Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
  7. Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
  8. Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  9. Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  10. Bus 002 Device 015: ID 0bda:8178 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8192CU 802.11n WLAN Adapter
  11. Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  12. Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub


The other device which I have gives even stranger response:

code:

  1. orangepi@OrangePI:~$ lsusb
  2. Bus 008 Device 003: ID 09da:054f A4 Tech Co., Ltd
  3. Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
  4. Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
  5. Bus 006 Device 016: ID 09da:054f A4 Tech Co., Ltd
  6. Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
  7. Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
  8. Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  9. Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0bda:818b Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
  10. Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  11. Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  12. Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub


If somebody can say what's going on here?

This problem was discussed at Loboris distros topic. Try to use ubuntu trusty - it solved problem with 8188cus (8192cus) wifi on opi pc

I found some information here:

https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/reserve-7

Driver for Realtek RTL8192EU chipset (0bda:818b) can be downloaded from here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/ ... TA/view?usp=sharing

After compiling and installation it works on my ubuntu laptop. I would like to attach a picture but it doesn't wotk, size is too big ...

Please if someone can port this driver to Orange PI? Is it difficult?

i think you need to enable usb wifi through script.fex and convert the file to bin
add this lines to your fex:

code:

  1. [usb_wifi_para]
  2. usb_wifi_used = 1
  3. usb_wifi_usbc_num = 2 #you can change this to the number of the usb you want to put the wifi jack in
