Wi-Fi (Wi-Pi) dongle setup - cpm - 21st Dec, 2012 10:46 PM
Hi, there
I have the Wi-Pi dongle form Element 14 (http://cpc.farnell.com/element14/wipi/dongle-wifi-usb-for-raspberry-pi/dp/SC12761). I'm trying to get it working with my install of Xbian 1.0 Alpha 3 but I'm not sure how to. I've entered into xbian-config and tried to enter WLAN settings in DHCP manually, but I end up with this:
Code:
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 12
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 15
etc...Upon saving these settings and restarting, an ifconfig shows this:
Code:
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0f:54:02:27:be
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)So, it is finding the Wi-Pi dongle, but it's not assigning an inet address.
I have also tried to install the drivers for ralink manually (I believe Wi-Pi is a ralink chipset), but they were already installed within Linux.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Can you post the output of
Code:
dmesgDid you also try to pull the adapter from the RPi and re-inserting it again.

Did you also try to pull the adapter from the RPi and re-inserting it again.
Every time I re-insert the USB, it reboots XBian.
Here's the output of dmesg:

Try installing kernel 3.6.11:
Code:
sudo apt-get install xbian-package-kernel3.6.11
sudo rebootAnd replug the USB adapter, does it then automatically reboots as well?

Yes it still does reboot, however, after I ran the above code and logged back into SSH, I ran uname -a and saw that it still said:
Code:
Linux xbian 3.6.7+ #1 PREEMPT Fri Nov 23 12:33:18 CET 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux3.6.7+, not 3.6.11. Is this to be expected? It does say +, but I'm not sure whether the update worked if it's not explicitly stating 3.6.11
Interestingly, I checked my /etc/network/interfaces file and it has the following:
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid "BigPondXXXX"
wpa-psk "5XXXXXXXXX2"
wireless-power offNote where it says wireless-power off, is that normal?
RE: Wi-Fi (Wi-Pi) dongle setup - CurlyMo - 21st Dec, 2012 11:17 PM
Then something has gone wrong when installing the new kernel. Can you post:
Code:
ls -Al /bootAlso, does your wpa key contain wierd/special characters?

Strange, I'm running practically a fresh install. No weird characters, only alphanumeric. All the X's I blanked out are digits.
Here's the output:

Alright, all up to date: 3.6.11.
Replugging the USB still reboots XBian.
RE: Wi-Fi (Wi-Pi) dongle setup - CurlyMo - 22nd Dec, 2012 12:21 AM
Can you post a new dmesg with the new kernel?
Also, because of the rebooting, i have a strong suspicion that your adapter drains to much power from the RPi when reconnected. Most of the time, when altering WLAN settings, a replugging is need to make the changes take effect. So when the adapter is plugged in and doesn't work, it doesn't matter. But when you replug it, is start to work and thereby also draining power from the USB posts. So, indeed try another adapter that's more energy efficient or try to loan a powered usb hub.

I've just bought one of these and having exactly the same issues, did you ever resolve it ??
Also get the Wireless Power - off that you mentioned earlier.
the light on the dongle does flash , usually 6 times.
RE: Wi-Fi (Wi-Pi) dongle setup - CurlyMo - 6th Feb, 2013 02:03 AM
Can you try the new xbian-config: https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-config-bash
RE: Wi-Fi (Wi-Pi) dongle setup - Beanz - 6th Feb, 2013 02:39 AM
Think thats done it mate. Thanks !
The new version actually goes through steps where it shows your network connection options so i could see it knew the WLAN was there, then when clicking on it my local networks showed so knew it was working, i think the problem might have been when i used the old version of config to input my routers info i'd now used all capital letters for the SSID which was much easier to notice in this version.
I have an IP next to WLAN now so am gonna go back to my tv and check xbian can connect when i remove the ethernet
Thanks again.
Re: Wi-Fi (Wi-Pi) dongle setup - BartOtten - 6th Feb, 2013 04:29 AM
Glad it is easier to set the network using the new xbian-config. Curlymo and Belese work -very- hard for this feature of XBian! Please hit the Thanks link for both of them
RE: Wi-Fi (Wi-Pi) dongle setup - CurlyMo - 6th Feb, 2013 04:58 AM
The basis of the network module was set by Hexagon and was enhanced by me. So please don't forget his share
RE: Wi-Fi (Wi-Pi) dongle setup - crs - 6th Feb, 2013 09:32 AM
"Think thats done it mate. Thanks !" and "Think thats done it mate. Thanks !" Y E S
My wifi works.. !! But i know its a supported dongle. This new xbian-config, very xbian. The best, works great.
I sit in root term.. "Exception SystemExit in <function _remove at 0x3415d70> ignored " on term window now?? Also xbmx.bin was off after a few hours.
