billius Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) Is anyone else interested in getting this working? my adapter is shown with lsusb: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8187 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187 Wireless Adapter the driver is available in opkg's repository: Package: kmod-rtl8187 Version: 3.2.9+2012-02-27-1 Depends: kernel (= 3.2.9-1-7ca3c65ac3709dabad42d460596851da), kmod-eeprom-93cx6, kmod-mac80211, kmod-usb-core Provides: Status: install user installed Architecture: ar71xx Installed-Time: 2340tesccc as you can see above, it needs kernel 3.2.9, when uname -a reveals that we're running the old 2.6.39.4 kernel. Linux Pineapple 2.6.39.4 #58 Tue Apr 3 14:50:25 BST 2012 mips GNU/Linux this raises a couple of questions: does jasager/karma require this old kernel or can we update it? if not, can we get a module compatible with our kernel? I'm sure there are many people who want to get this done so we can have some nice routing through wifi on other channels, or have a USB hub have a backpack such as Darren's in the case mod challenge with a few RTL8187s.

Sebkinne Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 This is in the works. Sadly it is not enough to just update the kernel. Lots of stuff breaks ;-) I am however already working on it. Best, Sebkinne Quote
phlewpy Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 I wonder will this now work with version 2 point oh. root@Pineapple:~# uname -a Linux Pineapple 3.2.14 #18 Thu May 3 21:12:38 BST 2012 mips GNU/Linux Did anyone try this? Quote
Vulture Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Not yet because I totally forgot about this aspect and e kernel update. Wil test this evening. Quote
yoda_97 Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 In an ssh shell/ifconfig/iwconfig, i cannot see wlan1 that should belong to the alpha. It doesnt look like its recognized. Quote
Vulture Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Mine is being mapped by anth9k kernel drivers which is incorrect, I need rt2800-usb. the opkg repository is running 3.3.4 which differs 3.2.14 on the pineapple. Still not possible unless there is a snapshot of the 3.2.14 Repository floating around. Quote
Anch Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Mine is being mapped by anth9k kernel drivers which is incorrect, I need rt2800-usb. the opkg repository is running 3.3.4 which differs 3.2.14 on the pineapple. Still not possible unless there is a snapshot of the 3.2.14 Repository floating around. A repository snapshot would be very helpful, it would be nice to at least have all the kmods available for the kernel version that is installed on the pineapple. I have a few things I'd like to do with it but the modules available are for the 3.3.7 kernel. Quote
