I'm running the Raspbian hard-float version.My problem is this: I can't get my D-link DWA-140 to work. I bought this USB dongle because it was on the list of dongles that worked. Well, problem is I got the DWA-140 B3, the site only listed B1 and 2 as working. I didn't know the one I bought was B3, but what can you do.
The second problem I have, is that I can't connect to the net via ethernet cable, the simple reason for that being that the router is situated on the floor above me, and belongs to the landlord. I only get wifi access.
What I've tried:
I downloaded the firmware that was supposed to work for this chipset, and installed it (using a USB thumbdrive.)
I downloaded the wpa_supplicant and installed that, also using the USB thumbdrive.
I downloaded the driver from D-link's website, but I can't make/install it because I don't have the right headers, and I can't download them since I don't have internet.
iwconfig shows no wireless extensions, however the device itself shows up on lsusb.
Any help would be appreciated, I think I've run out of google-fu at this point.
