Re: TP-LINK TP-WN725N Wi-fi

What response does this code give you?

Code: Select all

sudo lsmod -a | grep 8188
If nothing, try this

Code: Select all

sudo insmod 8188eu
sudo ifup wlan0
If the above gives you a connection, you need to add the 8188eu module to /etc/modules:

Code: Select all

sudo echo "8188eu" >> /etc/modules

What else makes up your wireless connection? What brand and type of router do you have? Are the drivers loaded by the kernel?

Re: TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 works out of the box on Raspbian

This is a typical error if the Linux source is not the same as used to make the running kernel. However, it could also be caused by .config not matching the settings used to compile the running kernel or the Module.symvers file is not the same as the running kernel used. Where did you get the Linux...

Re: TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 works out of the box on Raspbian

Correct. For some reason the running kernel doesn't like the driver. I think the first thing to try is to recompile the driver. This is because you configured the kernel and then ran the driver compile that failed then ran the kernel config again then the driver compile again but did not completely ...
