Anybody else tried to install clean Lubuntu 15.04 and then plug a RTL8187L like me and get it to work just by clicking on a SSID and typing the password on ORANGE-PI PC? because it is not working for me, and I don't think I have defective wifi dongle since it is working for windows and Linux in my desktop PC.

@tranki
Which distro you use?
@fritz
I use ubuntu mate without this problem. (old version, I can change from user "orangepi" to "root" by typing "sudo -s")
Now I'm trying lubuntu and Debian (jacer) and their behave is badly about sudo. Both does not work. when I start an instruction which begin from sudo .. The system does not recognize it.

You should be root to run adduser, so type 'su -' first. I see you are running as root.

Then try t ...

@pheon
I've found adduser in /user/sbin/ then added the user with success
       root@OrangePI:/usr/sbin# adduser orangepi sudo
      The user `orangepi' is already a member of `sudo'.

After that I've reboot and
             orangepi@OrangePI:~$ sudo -s
              >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 1
             <<<
sudo: error de análisis en /etc/sudoers cerca de la línea 1
             sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

             sudo: no se puede inicializar la política de plugin

             orangepi@OrangePI:~$ su -
            Contraseña:
             root@OrangePI:~#
In conclusion I've get to change the profile with "su -"

but I follow with the same problem. I can't run any instruction with sudo

orangepi@OrangePI:~$ sudo nmcli -a d wifi connect
>>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 1 <<<
sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 1
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin
orangepi@OrangePI:~$

Is this problem only mine?

Ok guys, problem solved.

I don't know why, but reinstalling the driver for the chipset seems to have made something. There is just one of them working though, but the one I wanted to be working, so no problem. nmcli now seems to successfully connect to the router via wifi, but the rate is strangely lower than expected, I only can get 11mb/s while in the same room with the computer gets 54mb/s (because is wifi g). Anyways, it is enough for me, since I don't want to stream anything, I'm more prone to USB local media, and since I have a couple of USB HDD's which I haven't used from long ago it's ok. As long as it gives me enough juice for a little internet surfing and allows me to use the repositories.

Thank you for the help!

I gave up on the wifi pipe dream. Tried multiple different wifi dongles with no luck. Used my laptop for a wifi bridge until I found something different to create a wifi bridge. Its called a vonets mini 300 repeater/bridge. Comes with a usb power supply and the orange pi pc can power it.
