According to wikidevi.com Edimax made at least 46 different USB wifi dongles with Atmel, Atheros, Ralink, Realtek or ZyDAS chips. Which driver is being used depends on the chip found inside the dongle. In order to identify the wifi driver and hardware, please install usbutils and use lsusb or provide the relevant kernel log-lines from dmesg output.

There is a new driver for that chipset in the making, its name is rtl8xxxu and it can currently be found here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jes/linux.git/log/?h=rtl8723au-mac80211 So far it only supports STA and monitor mode but it's pretty stable and does not suffer from these outages. I recently created a OpenWRT package for it which I will post to this mailing-list soon, but it only works on OpenWRT trunk so far. bruno ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
[OpenWrt-Devel] Networking on Raspberry Pi Model B
I have installed OpenWrt (trunk, as of around October 17) on a Raspberry Pi Model B. The network adapter is an Edimax 802.11b/g/n Nano USB Adapter. Unfortunately, the network stack of the device is failing after a number of minutes. At this point, for example, pinging and other network communication begins to fail. The same device is reliable when running Pidora. I am going to continue to troubleshoot, but wanted to see if any other developers where having trouble with OpenWrt on the Raspberry Pi. Has anyone else seen similar symptoms? -- Mike :wq ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
