I am not sure about if 3.8.x kernel support marvel 8797 . In my previous experience , when ifconfig -a show nothing about your adapter , try another newer version driver http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable/ maybe you can try compat-wireless hope its be useful 2014-09-27 10:35

Also, other USB to WiFi adapters work just fine. For example, I have one that uses the rtl8192cu driver, and this one creates a wlan0 interface automatically. Any ideas what would be causing this? On Monday, September 22, 2014 7:49:37 PM UTC-4, Brent wrote: I have not done anything with
