Re: TP-LINK TP-WN725N Wi-fi

Hi aabento, You need to update the driver. You can do this by running the following commands wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80256631/8188eu-20130830.tar.gz tar -zxvf 8188eu-20130830.tar.gz sudo install -p -m 644 8188eu.ko /lib/modules/3.6.11+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless sudo insmod /lib/mo...

Re: TL-WN725N V2, raspbian driver update

Hi MrEngman, My Wifi adapter is connected directly to the Raspberry Pi. I connect my Pi to a USB charger supplying 5.1V which I have been using so far without any problem. However, my Raspberry Pi previously connects to the internet with another USB adapter, could that be a problem? Settings conflic...

Hi jiangchen, I'm really not sure why you are having problems.

Re: TL-WN725N V2, raspbian driver update

I assumed you're running a standard Raspbian install and thus was working as the pi user. If you've obtained root access some other way, drop the sudo prefix: echo "8188eu" >> /etc/modules Alternatively, use nano to open the /etc/modules file and add the name of the driver on a new line. Save the fi...

Re: TL-WN725N V2, raspbian driver update

Add the name of the driver to the file /etc/modules to make it persistently loaded by the kernel at boot. This is the easiest way: sudo echo "8188eu" >> /etc/modules Mind, the command requires 2 arrows, not a single one (you'll overwrite the existing file, bad idea) or more then 2 (dunno what'll hap...
