Hello!
I’m trying to enable wifi on raspberry pi 2 using my TP LINK wn725n wifi adapter with no luck.
I can see adapter using lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 0006: Id 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp
or using dmesg.
Precompiled modules mostly won’t work on different version, so you have to compile the module yourself.
Here is the source code matching to our kernel:
You can use it to cross-compile a module on a computer to speed up the process.
In fact, I would recommend to obtain a WiFi adapter that is supported by RPi’s kernel by default. It would save your time because you won’t have to recompile the module when the system gets updated. Information about WiFi adapter compatibility can be found in the following table: http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters
Trying to attached the TP-LINK TL-WN822N Home · rodizio1/EZ-WifiBroadcast Wiki · GitHub as in the github EZ-wifibroadcast page. When connected to Navio2 there isn’t any power to the dongle. They’ve clearly used this type and I’ve seen mentioned the name and model, though I can’t see to track it down again. It was mentioned so I purchased two to try. It is difficult finding any of there here in Australia, so I went with this one. Am I suppose to supply an external power supply? (The costs just keep going up and up!) Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
