Hello,

I would like to use the WLAN Adapter TP-LINK TL-WN422G with my Orangepi PC.
Unfortunately the device does not show any "wlan0" network device.

It gets recognized by the board though.

Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0cf3:1006 Atheros Communications, Inc. TP-Link TL-WN322G v3 / TL-WN422G v2 802.11g [Atheros AR9271]

Copy code

But thats all. Any suggestions?

No ideas? Is this the wrong category?

Try lshw utility - is shows more information from device tree.
Simply listing ifconfig will not show unconfigured wifi adapters - iwconfig might.
Anyway, you will need to configure it before using.

I switched to http://armbian.com/

which works nice. I only need to figure out how to use the GPIO Pins.

I just configured the network in the

/etc/network/interfaces

Copy code

file . see manual here: https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse

and entered

ifup wlan0

Copy code

I had still problems getting the adapter up after running

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Copy code

Before it did this update it worked (which is strange). So I decided to try to install the atheros firmware (again) from

https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Atheros_AR9271

by entering

apt-get install firmware-atheros

Copy code

then rebooted and it works now without any problems.

I will try this out on the original images eventually

The subsequent time I read a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I do know it was my option to read, but I really thought youd have one thing attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you may fix for those who werent too busy in search of attention. xem trực tiếp bóng đá
