KingOfPine@pples Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I picked up a USB to 5V DC Barrel cable to run the Mark V from a 2A USB battery, but it doesn't seem to be capable of powering the AWUS036H usb adapter, and starts acting funny with reboots etc. I've tried using a Realtek RTL8191SU instead, but it doesn't seem to be recognized at all. I've tried downloading the linux driver directly from Realtek, but when I SSH in, it doesn't look like the ash shell supports ./configure and makefile etc. but I'm pretty much a linux noob. On top of that, I don't know if the Pineapple Mark V platform is MIPS_RMI or MIPS_AR9132, or neither. It appears those two platforms are supported by the driver. Anyone know if either of those platforms are right? TL;DR Is there any way to get a Realtek RTL8191SU USB wifi adapter to work with the Mark V?

Daddyphathax Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 5Volts might not be enough input voltage. Can you try a battery pack that's 9-12V? (The supplied ac wall adapter is 9Volts.) That's my guess,anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 There is currently no support for the RTL8191SU chipset. We also have no ETA as to when support could be added. Best Regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfPine@pples Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Thanks for the reply. I found the supported adapter list in the Wiki and I'm going to give the TPLINK WN722N a shot because of its low power consumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
