Wlan with Realtek adapters RTL8188CUS

(thats my expirience+settings)

The Realtek RTL8188CUS is a chip of the many different USB wireless adapter manufacturers. A good dev. has developed a script based on this adapter easy to integrate into Linux systems for the Raspberry Pi.

What we/you need:

This tutorial is based on a freshly installed system Raspbian Wheezy.The Pi must have an active usb port,my is a D-Link USB 2.0 4-Port Hub.Connected to the hanging a simple Cherry keyboard and a simple Logitech mouse As a USB wireless adapter is the Netgear N150 Wireless USB Adapter.

First, the normal user has the problem that he does not know what to do for a chip in his service adapter. So we stuck our adapter into the hub and place on the console the command lsusb, I get in my case the following output:

$ lsusb

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9512 Standard Microsystems Corp.

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp.

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 2101:8500 ActionStar

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 2101:8501 ActionStar

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 046a:0023 Cherry GmbH CyMotion Master Linux Keyboard

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 046d:c00e Logitech, Inc. M-BJ58/M-BJ69 Optical Wheel Mouse

Bus 001 Device 008: ID 0846:9041 NetGear, Inc. WNA1000M 802.11bgn [Realtek RTL8188CUS]

This is he with me listing of the USB-connected devices. In eighth place we find the Netgear adapter, which is not listed with its trade name, but with its internal name WNA1000M. Fortunately, the name is also used in the chip - Lucky you!

The chip is not always used in the designation. Then one can assume the ID, in this case, "0846:9041" and further research.

Commonly found on the market the following adapters, all including those required for the proposed, Realtek chip installation script:

Installation:

First, we remove our USB stick, he should still be plugged in and run the system for safety. We should have a powered USB hub (ie a self-powered) use, because the adapter need some more power than our Pi to its own ports can provide. This is partly on Pi, partly on the adapter, part of the power supply with which we conduct the Pi. Next, I assume that we are ready wired a working connection to the Internet and access to our Wi-Fi.

1.We log on and enter the following commands:

cd / boot

sudo wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/80256631/install-rtl8188cus-latest.sh

sudo ./install-rtl8188cus-latest.sh

We just follow the recommendations of the script creator. We can put the script basically in our home directory and then start it.

The original instructions, including additional information is http://dl.dropbox.com/u/80256631/install-rtl8188cus.txt to find

2.First, the script presents us an introductory text, which we confirm with ENTER.

3.The script then checks if the required drivers on the system. Is not so, it downloads them from Internet.

4.Now the system asks how our WLAN is secured:

Press U if the network is unsecured, press E if WEP, or if A WPA/WPA2. a

NOTE:

Unsecured networks there should be really no more to hack WEP is faster than you can see, therefore, WPA or WPA2 protected networks today most frequently encountered. So we press the correct letter (u = unsecured, WEP = e, a = WPA or WPA2). My network is secure WPA2, so I press the script asks a anschießend after once again if this is correct and we confirm Wed y or change our minds with another key.

5.Now we are asked for our SSID, which is the "name" of our WLAN. Mine is "AL78". Here you should pay close attention to the input, including uppercase and lowercase letters. You give your own course, an SSID;)

Please enter the Network SSID - AL78

The script then asks again whether this is correct and we confirm with y or change our minds with another key.

our network SSID is "AL78", is that correct?

press Y to continue, any other key to re-enter the SSID. y

6.Next, the script asks for a password with our WLAN (if we have a secure network). We give an equally carefully.

Please enter the Network PASSWORD - mypassword

It is the inquiry and we proceed as usual, because we know the game now so already:

Your network PASSWORD is "your password", is that correct?

press Y to continue, any other key to re-enter the PASSWORD. y

7.Now create the script from the configuration of the system and asks us our USB wireless adapter to plug now. We do him a favor and plug the adapter into the hub. We did everything right and it is recognized directly flashes. We now press a button and the system connects to our wireless.

8.From now on, when the adapter is plugged in, this always. When inserted at startup or even if it is plugged in operation automatically started and connected to the wireless The adapter itself is integrated in the system as wlan0. The cable connection, we need no longer :) using the ifconfig command we can look at the current configuration of our network interface and look as well as which IP the Pi now has over the WLAN:

$ ifconfig

collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000

RX bytes:767710 (749.7 KiB) TX bytes:166335 (162.4 KiB)

9.If we later need to change the configuration, we find it in the file / etc / networks / interfaces. SSID, password and encryption, we can adapt here anytime (via sudo or as root).

10.So where we have now set everything and it works, we can also test whether the stick directly on Pi works (if that is of interest). This can work, but not necessarily. With me and my NetGear it goes at least.

In general, routers have somewhere to leave a function to display the wireless devices registered. It sees the device being used here like this:its the pic i attached.

As you can see remains of the left promised both router and stick 150 Mbit / s is not much, although both are only a few meters apart stands. But that's okay, because in such a micro stick as I use it is not a great antenna be installed here and it's not about speed records.but it runs

NOTE:This guide i have made for free for u,when u sharing this to others give credits.Thanx
