amztech, Thanks for your input... I understand that RTL8188 a better options is. But if you order a adapter and you think it has got a particular chipset in it but you receive a complete different one. Than there is not much I can do.... except send it back to the seller... The "nice" thing was.... ...

Oh yes I discovered it on the the image........

MrEngman, I am very stubborn, so I keep on trying. It is not working as an AP....... BUT..... again I have installed a fresh version of Raspbian gave an update/upgrade and installed ur software again... It IS WORKING.... As I type now... I am using the RPI.... but when configuring as an AP it won't ...

Nope..........

This is what I am using for setting up the AP

driver=nl80211 Is that phrase still correct ???

all the other instructions went smooth..... but after that.......quiet

for Hove. Sorry for misleading you. I was convinced I was dealing with a RTL8192CU. because that is one the install CD that came with it. And that' s why I became frustrated why it didn't work..... Anyway... my learningcurve is very steep this evening.... Thanks for trying to push me in the right wa...

MrEngman. Tks for support. the output of uname -a is "Linux raspberrypi 3.18.7-v7+ #755 SMP PREEMPT thu Feb 12 17:20:48 GMT 2015 armv7l GNU/linux" (last character of armv7l is l as in lima) But is not too nice from the vendor... I had bought a RTL5370 and got this one... MrEngman... Thanks in advanc...

Ok, I understand why it isn't working I setup the RPI as a reapeater cf this http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-WiFi-Access-Point-out-of-a-Raspberry/ And u can't SSH to that..... I have put the adapter in my PC (running Mint 17.1) This is what i get: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 148f:7601 Ralin...

btw how do u transfer the output from the RPI to this....

tks for replying....

I only get this

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8178 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

as well when using the Ralink as the Realtek..........

The only adapter that is recognized is the 5370

Dear Hove, Sorry for that reply. You are absolutely right about that. I was reacting from my emotion why it doesn't work. My mistake. I was trying to get a copy of the reading..... but whenever the pi is started up as an AP. the browser isn't able to connect to the internet anymore.....So i couldn.t...

Well, I must admit. The expectations were high.... I have a Realtek and a Ralink usb dongle...both came with an installation CD with the RTL1892 on it. So I assume that somewhere inside is such a chip or chipset. Followed precisely ur example.. got a warning that there isn't a wlan0 though Gave sudo...

Dr Hove,
By the way. The RTL8188cus is that the correct driver for the 8192 too ?
Wally

Wow...
Many thanks for the very quick answer.... much appreciated...

This answer is what I was looking for.......not yet tried, but will do this tomorrow morning first thing.

again, thank for quick respons..... will keep u in the loop

Hello, I've bought a RPI 2B last month. And I am still trying to set up at Access point......bought a USB WIFI Dongle. chipset RTL8192.....doesn't work. However I found some solutions with using a "special made" Hostapd...... I thought you have to alter it in the Kernel, but whatever. downloaded it ...
