WiFi Dongle doesn't work after update

Sat Oct 08, 2016 10:05 am

Hi,

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and (with raspbian) I have always used my USB WiFi Dongle (Linksys WUSB600N).
Now I upgraded to the last version of Raspbian and the Dongle doesn't work.
If I type lsusb it does not appear.

If something does not appear in lsusb, you should see messages in /var/log/syslog. They will mention some sort of problem. Find the messages. Look in syslog a few seconds after plugging the device in.

You can also google the device model to find the chipset. Unfortunately many manufacturers change the chipset without changing the model number.

The dongles worked untile the last update to Raspbian+Pixel

Could be power problem.

Google device descriptor read/64, "error -32"

Most of the posts suggest a hardware change. Could be a change in the software causing a higher power draw somewhere or detecting an error that was not previously detected. To eliminate, or identify, the power draw problem, please test with the Wifi in a powered hub.
