Same here; someone at $work bought couple of these teeny dongles. I've applied small id patch (attached), and tried to use it (it reportedly works flawlessly under Linux using this [*] driver). I could load the module, but MAC address was clearly bogus (00:00:30:34:43:30); yet I've created wlan0 just to find out that there is no list scan results, and wpa_supplicant(8) gives me this in an endless loop (GENERIC kernel, so I presume all wlan-related stuff should be in place): Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant ioctl[SIOCS80211, op=103, val=0, arg_len=128]: Device not configured wlan0: Failed to initiate AP scan This is on relatively fresh 11-CURRENT as of Oct 18th, i386. Any clues? It would be nice to get more of these little guys to work, esp. there is working Linux driver available for reference. ./danfe [*] https://github.com/liwei/rpi-rtl8188eu --opJtzjQTFsWo+cga Content-Type: text/x-diff; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="urtwn.diff" Index: usbdevs =================================================================== --- usbdevs (revision 256716) +++ usbdevs (working copy) @@ -3602,6 +3602,7 @@ product REALTEK RTL8188CU_COMBO 0x8754 RTL8188CU product REALTEK RTL8191CU 0x8177 RTL8191CU product REALTEK RTL8192CU 0x8178 RTL8192CU +product REALTEK RTL8188EU 0x8179 RTL8188EU product REALTEK RTL8192CE 0x817c RTL8192CE product REALTEK RTL8188RU_1 0x817d RTL8188RU product REALTEK RTL8712 0x8712 RTL8712 Index: wlan/if_urtwn.c =================================================================== --- wlan/if_urtwn.c (revision 256716) +++ wlan/if_urtwn.c (working copy) @@ -138,6 +138,7 @@ URTWN_DEV(REALTEK, RTL8191CU), URTWN_DEV(REALTEK, RTL8192CE), URTWN_DEV(REALTEK, RTL8192CU), + URTWN_DEV(REALTEK, RTL8188EU), URTWN_DEV(SITECOMEU, RTL8188CU_1), URTWN_DEV(SITECOMEU, RTL8188CU_2), URTWN_DEV(SITECOMEU, RTL8192CU), --opJtzjQTFsWo+cga--
