Hi all, I don't know if this stick's driver is in the process of being incorporated into the Kernel drivers, I havn't seen so yet. I've put the full lsusb -v at end of email as its a lot of stuff. Please let me know if any other info is needed about it, I'm not a programmer but I have reasonable intermediate Linux knowledge. I have been commonly using this stick with my ARM based BeagleBone Black board, others commonly use it with their ARM based Raspberry PIs. lsusb gives: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0bda:818b Realtek Semiconductor Corp. I'm not sure when Realtek released this version of their WiFi chip, Linux source code comes on the driver CD, but usually doesn't compile as it seems to be for older systems. I've found 2 DKMS deb files that work, as well as somone's modified source code on Github. Its still buggy and I don't think gives signal strength etc. Here's a link to modified source code on Github that compiled for me and worked when the DKMS debs didn't: https://github.com/bhuvanchandra/rtl8192eu Here's a link to the 2 deb DKMS packages, usually one compiles and works (the one with -2 at end of file name), it didn't compile on Debian 7.9 on my BeagleBone Black board the other night, the other one did, though I couldn't get it to work with the wex driver using wpa_supplicant, complained of ioctl "operation not permitted" etc. http://laptopke.be/files/Debian/ http://users.telenet.be/x86_64/Debian/ Hopefully this can be properly incorporated and standardised with most commonly used driver/extensions etc as I understand that Realtek drivers don't conform properly with the Kernel wireless extensions. sudo lsusb -v: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0bda:818b Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
