- Raspberry Pi
Network card TP-Link TL-WN725N version 2 does not have a default driver in the system Rasbpian. The files you need to download and install yourself. The whole operation is not complicated, takes only a few minutes. Below is a quick guide.
Installation of the system and start the WiFi on the Raspberry Pi.
You must select the appropriate drivers for your version of the operating system Raspbian:
To check the version of Linux you can issue the following command
|
uname-a |
-
For the system Raspbian with kernel version 3.18.5
In this version, you must download and install the software, including to just call a single command:
|
sudo wget https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu/raw/c83976d1dfb4793893158461430261562b3a5bf0/rtl8188eufw.bin -On /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8188eufw.bin |
After rebooting the Raspberry Pi, the adapter should be properly installed. Network settings can be done through the app WiFiConfig, to which the label is by default on the desktop.
-
For the system Raspbian with kernel 3.18 below
You should find the right drivers on that page, download them and unpack by typing the commands:
|
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80256631/8188eu-201xyyzz.tar.gz tar-zxvf 8188eu-201xyyzz.tar.gz |
In place xyyzz you must specify the appropriate version of software for your Linux.
The next step is to issue several commands in the console (icon on desktop):
|
sudo install-p-m 644 8188eu.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless sudo modprobe 8188eu |
After these steps, the card must be properly installed. Network settings can be done through the app WiFiConfig, to which the label is by default on the desktop.
| If drivers are not compatible with the current version of the operating system will appear the message: ERROR: could not insert ’8188eu. Files, you can compile under this OS version, description of how to do this can be found on the forum Forobot.pl.
