This forum is now a read-only archive

The SliTaz community has moved to Maille, a forum made for SliTaz.

We looked hard for a replacement for this aging forum, including a move from bbPress to FluxBB last June. But spam bots now get through sign-up even with mail confirmation, and these forum engines are barely maintained anymore. So we wrote a forum in the SliTaz spirit: small, fast, no JavaScript, works on old machines and in text browsers. Everything here stays readable.

Need help configuring 0bda:8178 RTL8188CUS Wifi

Hi,

I recently bought a cheap wifi adapter off of Amazon and it uses the Realtek RTL8188CUS chipset. I knew it wouldn't work with Linux unless I used drivers from the Realtek website.

It now scans and recognizes my WPA-PSK network, but will not connect. dmesg complains: (will edit in a link to dmesg output and other logs)

Thanks!

Here is the dmesg output for it (pertinent at the end): http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361371

usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8192cu

If that is a kernel module, you will probably need to add firmware drivers to /lib/firmware (as root).

(Wifi isn't my strong point, but on my regular distro, Debian, I nearly always have to add extra firmware to get mine to work.)
