Are the needed kernel modules missing? $ ls /boot/kernel/wlan* /boot/kernel/urtwn* /boot/kernel/urtwn-rtl8188eufw.ko /boot/kernel/wlan_ccmp.ko /boot/kernel/urtwn-rtl8192cfwT.ko /boot/kernel/wlan_rssadapt.ko /boot/kernel/urtwn-rtl8192cfwU.ko /boot/kernel/wlan_tkip.ko /boot/kernel/wlan.ko /boot/kernel/wlan_wep.ko /boot/kernel/wlan_acl.ko /boot/kernel/wlan_xauth.ko /boot/kernel/wlan_amrr.ko $ Or are they not loaded? $ kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 19 0xc0100000 87ede8 kernel 2 1 0xc097f000 22620 if_urtwn.ko 3 2 0xc09a2000 b234 firmware.ko 4 6 0xc09ae000 6067c wlan.ko 5 1 0xc0a0f000 a1c8 wlan_amrr.ko 6 1 0xc2c1a000 a000 wlan_wep.ko 7 1 0xc2c4d000 b000 wlan_tkip.ko 8 1 0xc2c5d000 e000 wlan_ccmp.ko $ If they are missing you have to build and install a new kernel with a extended configuration. In my old RPi kernel configuration I use in one line: makeoptions MODULES_OVERRIDE="wlan wlan_ccmp wlan_tkip wlan_wep wlan_amrr wlan_rssadapt wlan_xauth wlan_acl urtwn urtwnfw firmware" I am unsure about the "MODULES_EXTRA" line. May be you should just add the missing drivers there. Ralf
