Cheers

it is part of xbian-package-kernel=1.3-6.3a including firmware (not tested as we don't have this type of dongle). you need to install xbian-package-initramfs-tools=1.3.2-1e together with it.

you can install them manually with dpkg and wget as few times already posted in this thread. you will find the .debs here:

http://xbian.brantje.com/pool/staging/main/x/

or you can add staging repo as source for apt. and then just upgrade (http://forum.xbian.org/thread-1861.html) ((just STAGING, don't add devel))

oh and you will also need xbian-update=1.0.2-12d
it is also the same location

Thanks bcre3306, victmo and mk01 for the help.
Setting the SSID via SSH fixed my issue.

can you post output of "iwlist scanning" ?

some cards have different output, probably the config tool can't parse it properly. if you send output, we can adapt.

No problem. Thanks for all your help

Hi,
Is it possible to get this package and how ?
After I type apt-get install xbian-package-config-shell it is written that I have the newest version (2.1.6-53 ?)

Generally I have w problem with connecting to my wireless network. I manually set up SSID and WPA via SSH, as victmo and jjc advised. Now connection status is UP, wifi module is blinking, but still a cannot connect to my router. Tried DHCP and static IP. I use d-link dir-635, WPA2 (Auto Mode WPA/WPA2); xbian 1.0 beta 2, clean install with update &upgrade.TL-WN725N ver2.0. Any ideas how to fix it ?
thanks in advance

update 2: give up I've changed to raspbmc. Works now

RFKILL means that the card has "switch" control as poweroff/on (as for instance WiFi or Bluetooth cards in notebooks have switches to power them up/down).

a solution is to install small rfkill control util "rfkill" and then

Hi guys,
I have also a problem with this card, after fresh install of xbian my wlan card is "found" i think but when I try scanning, It just show empty pop up with no wifi's on it. Could you tell me how can I fix it? I read this topic but here's so many solutions that i don't know which one to choose ....

EDIT: FIXED, by manualy typing ssid, wep pass, and others in SSH

might be an power issue

Code:

sudo -i
apt-get install rfkill
rfkill list
…
rfkill unblock XYZ

On this I get rfkill: /dev/rfkill no such file or directory :/

(5th May, 2013 12:37 AM)bergfruehling Wrote: [ -> ]Hi,

I bought a TP-Link TL-WN725N (listed on the supported hardware page in the wiki) for my RPi, but it is does not work. It is plugged into a powered usb hub (when I plugged it directly into the Pi, it restarted immediately, probably a power issue).

lsusb lists it as
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

after plugging it in, dmesg says
[ 1853.301279] usb 1-1.3.7: USB disconnect, device number 7
[ 1855.843529] usb 1-1.3.7: new high-speed USB device number 8 using dwc_otg
[ 1855.945063] usb 1-1.3.7: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8179

[ 1855.945145] usb 1-1.3.7: SerialNumber: 00E04C0001

No modules are loaded automatically. I tried "modprobe 8192cu", but the result of replugging the stick was the same according to dmesg. There is no wifi device listed by ifconfig, nor by xbian-config. I use the lastest xbian with kernel 3.6.11+.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Henning

In the starting, It gave me some issues, however now, same adapter and it works with any Raspberry Pi distribution out of the box.
