Hi, I'm having lots of problems getting this usb wireless dongle (Edimax) to pick up and connect to a wireless network. I'm not sure if there's a config from an older wireless getting in the way. The hardware for that isn't installed anymore.
I'm running network manager in KDE It's detected by lsusb Bus 002 Device 005: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS] I installed the realtek firmware; apt-get install firmware-realtek The drivers seem loaded correctly (from lsmod) rtl8192cu 69632 0 pcspkr 16384 0 rtl_usb 20480 1 rtl8192cu rtl8192c_common 53248 1 rtl8192cu rtlwifi 77824 3 rtl_usb,rtl8192c_common,rtl8192cu mac80211 671744 3 rtl_usb,rtlwifi,rtl8192cu snd_usb_audio 180224 2 snd_usbmidi_lib 28672 1 snd_usb_audio cfg80211 589824 2 mac80211,rtlwifi The widget can detect different AP's (I used a test one from my phone to confirm this), I see the one I want to connect to, but when I click on it, it just goes to "configuring interface" and then I get a disconnect notice, "wifi network could not be found". I've turned off the security on my phone ap to test and this made no difference. Can you point me in the general direction of how to start sorting this out? Thanks James
