I have searched the forums but couldn't find any reference to the Realtek RTL8821CU so I'm seeking any assistance or pointers...
I'm running PiCore Player 7.0.0 on a Raspberry Pi 2B and want to add a Realtek RTL8821CU usb wifi adaptor. It is 802.11ac. I have activated Wifi on the "Wifi settings" tab and entered all my details correctly however still no sign of life (yes, I rebooted. ;) ). When I run the piCore Player wifi diagnostics I receive the following messages: In the "dmesg:" section I can see [ 3.712807] usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=c811, bcdDevice= 2.00 [ 3.712828] usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 3.712845] usb 1-1.2: Product: 802.11ac NIC [ 3.712861] usb 1-1.2: Manufacturer: Realtek [ 3.712877] usb 1-1.2: SerialNumber: 123456 /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/onboot.lst: pcp.tcz pcp-7.0.0-www.tcz pcp-jivelite_default-wav35skin.tcz ntfs-3g.tcz firmware-atheros.tcz firmware-brcmwifi.tcz firmware-ralinkwifi.tcz firmware-rtlwifi.tcz firmware-rpi-wifi.tcz wireless_tools.tcz wpa_supplicant.tcz but in the "Available wifi networks" section I get: Scanning...... No wifi devices found! Possible error: 1. USB wifi adapter missing - insert adapter and [Reboot]. 2. Wifi firmware and/or drivers missing - [Reboot] required. I have unplugged and replugged the usb adaptor multiple times and rebooted multiple times. I'm not sure what to try next. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pufnstuf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10295 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113512 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
