What wifi screen? You mean wpa-gui? Is this a fresh install? What do you mean it shows nothing?

some wifi seems not to work out of the box, u need to do some installation. I spent like a day trying to configure this and it drives me crazy. My recommendation is to buy this

it works out of the box and no need to use powered usb.

Please plug the WiFi Dongle in and post output of lsusb

The model of Raspberry Pi would be helpful as well

Can you supply some info on your setup?

Can you post the output from commands

Code: Select all

uname -a
lsusb
cat /etc/network/interfaces
sudo cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

These will give details of you kernel version, wifi module and your current wifi network configuration.
