not good.īut this weird, I just updated my RPi, which I admittedly haven't done in a while, and got the 4.9 kernel. But with the 4.9 kernel, your lsmod shows a different driver, the usual in-kernel one (rtl8192cu).
8192cu driver install#
This is an out-of-kernel driver actually, on desktop systems you need to install it separately, it's just the RPi kernel that has it integrated. Please help? jmmec Posts: 10 Joined: Wed 2:06 amīefore, you were using Realtek's vendor driver (8192cu).

Linux alarmpi 4.9.13-1-ARCH #1 SMP Mon Feb 27 19:43: armv7l GNU/Linux Terrible regression! The blue led light on the Edimax is solid blue so doesn't flash with activity, and ping times and connection drops are awful.
8192cu driver software#
Upgraded the system to pull in latest software (pacman -Syyu). The blue led light on the Edimax blinks with wireless traffic, although I did disable power management via the usual "/etc/modprobe.d" configuration file to get ping times < 10ms.ģ. The Edimax dongle works perfectly fine using a "netctl" WPA profile.

Did a fresh install of ArchLinux ARM following the instructions on the Wiki used this image: I've been running Raspbian on a PI2 using an Edimax USB dongle (rtl8192cu) for 2 years now. I am having a terrible problem with a WiFi USB adapter (rtl8192cu), and have read multidues of posts about its flakiness, including some history about how the driver has finally been incorporated into the kernel image, but haven't seen anything that addresses the explicit problem below?ġ.
I am brand new to ArchLinux ARM as of today, but have been using X86 ArchLinux for a few months now.
