I bought a new dongle USB TL-WN725N and it doesnt work in RaspberryPi. I saw all the posts about it, how to fix etc, etc...
I got a lot of "Exec format error" because obviously the driver not match the kernel version.
Finally i found a correct driver (thx to kyle_l88).

My cenario is:
a) RaspberryPi B
b) version Beta 1.1 (3.9.8+ kernel)
c) XBMC v12.2 (frodo)
d) TL-WN725N v2.0 chipset 8188eu

What i did:
- Install the Beta version and configure Xbian (SSH) via ethernet cable (eth0)
- login via SSH
- download this DRIVER built for kernel 3.9.8+ who came with the Beta 1.1 (all the other drivers are for lower kernel versions)
- install the driver
- activate it
- configure Wi-Fi
- reboot
- after testing wi-fi, remove ethernet cable

and all works flawless... (better than i tought really...)

COMMANDS via SSH:
log as user XBIAN
=> wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41570534/8188eu.ko
=> sudo install -p -m 644 8188eu.ko /lib/modules/3.9.8+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
=> sudo depmod -a
=> sudo modprobe 8188eu
=> rm 8188eu.ko
=> xbian-config
=> sudo reboot

This command sequence i got from here (thx enekochan)

ATENTION - REALLY VERY IMPORTANT!!!
The above sequence and the driver is ONLY for the Beta 1.1 with kernel 3.9.8+

Thanks all users for the help from this forum (specially mk01 for his hard work) and sorry my bad english.
