I have http://www.amazon.com/Edimax-EW-7811Un-Adapter-Raspberry-Supports/dp/B003MTTJOY and I also have http://www.adafruit.com/products/814 and I'd trade a kidney to get either of the damn things working.
when i run `lsusb` they both seem to use the same driver: *root@beaglebone:~# lsusb* *Bus 001 Device 002: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS]* my logical device is wlan0. my etc/network/interface lines are: *auto wlan0* *allow-hotplug wlan0* *iface wlan0 inet dhcp* * wpa-ssid [network name here]* * wpa-psk [password here]* when i fire it up via ifup or boot, ifconfig reports: *wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 80:1f:02:ee:68:ef * * inet addr:10.0.0.33 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0* * inet6 addr: 2601:8:a580:8d2:821f:2ff:feee:68ef/64 Scope:Global* * inet6 addr: fe80::821f:2ff:feee:68ef/64 Scope:Link* * UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1* * RX packets:337 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0* * TX packets:355 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0* * collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 * * RX bytes:41326 (40.3 KiB) TX bytes:42056 (41.0 KiB)* which you'd think would be good! my router hands out 10.0.0.* addresses and 10.0.0.33 looks good to me. usually at this point i can get one or two pings in, maybe 3, but that's it. i also notice after a reboot i usually can't get any pings in to the same url, but i can get a ping or two to a different url. then i'm totally fucked. so, i know i'm getting online fine, i can wget the google homepage and view it successfully, but shortly thereafter i'm done. i've tried adding a bund of other lines to my interface file, such as wireless-rate auto, and wireless-channel 1 (or 11...i have two routers one on channel 1, one on channel 11, but neither works any better. i tried moving my wpa info to a wpa_supplicant.conf file per other directions, but same result. pretty sure it's the same thing, just different config files. this is a brand new beagle bone black i just got from adafruit yesterday. it is running debian 7 wheezy. totally stumped. :( any help would be immensely appreciated. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
