Hi ! I try to make the WiFi work on my beaglebone black running Wheezy (image found here <http://beagleboard.org/latest-images/> ) on a uSD card, and using the wireless usb adapter TPLink TL WN722N.
I'm trying this tutorial/stack exchange detailed answer <http://askubuntu.com/questions/512727/how-to-install-driver-for-tp-link-tl-wn722n-on-ubuntu-14-04> . There are two things that I couldn't manage : 1) install linux-headers-generic but I could still install linux-headers-'uname -r' 2) execute sudo update-grub which is normal I guess, according to the image I use I can see the adapter when executing iwconfig and lsusb. But, when trying to activate the wifi, I either make the whole BBB crash, or don't have a helpful result : <# ip link set wlan0 up> crashes everything and finally an <iwlist scan> gives back wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down If anyone has an idea ! I've been struggling to make the WiFi work with this adapter on BBB, trying everything with Ubuntu, Angstrom and Debian. Everytime, I either don't find an explanation, or the instructions don't execute as they should (dependencies issues for example...)
