TP-Link TL-WN725N not recognized
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 [ 1855.945098] usb 1-1.3.7: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 1855.945115] usb 1-1.3.7: Product: 802.11n NIC [ 1855.945131] usb 1-1.3.7: Manufacturer: Realtek [ 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 |

RE: TP-Link TL-WN725N not recognized
It seems, that TP-Link changed the Chip in their TL-WN725N device and that this revision is currently not compatible with the Raspberry Pi, see e.g. http://www.forum-raspberrypi.de/Thread-tl-wn725n-unter-raspian (in german) and http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-954862-start-0.html for a similar problem. The Product ID (see dmesg) for my device is 8179 -- does anyone have a working TL-WN725N and can post his Product ID?
In the Gentoo Forum, someone posted a link to a driver that _might_ handle this revision: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg105579.html. Is it possible to use this on ARM with the Raspberry Pi? Anyway, it could be a good idea to place a note in the list of recommended hardware, that the TP-Link stick does not seem to work in newer revision... Cheers, Henning |

RE: TP-Link TL-WN725N not recognized
It works perfectly fine for me. I have exactly the same adapter and it works with any Raspberry Pi distribution out of the box.

Can you post the according output of dmesg? In particular, I'm interested in the Vendor and Product ID...

I've got the same adapter a few days ago.
Did you try this https://www.zhujunsan.net/index.php/2013/03/make-tp-link-tl-wn725n-v2-work-on-raspbian/ ? Not sure if it applies to your/my versoin of the firmware. Diego |

I have exactly the same issue with my TP-Link TL-WN725N. I also get: dmesg -> usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0424, idProduct=9512 lsusb -> Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Did you finally solve it? Anything to do with power supply? I have no powered hub either, but with raspbian worked fine directly plugged to my raspberrypi Cheers! |

RE: TP-Link TL-WN725N not recognized
I have been having this problem as well with Xbian Beta 1 running the 3.8.13+ kernel. It seems that this dongle works with openelec. As soon as I installed openelec latest it ran out of the box -___-
That being said they use an older kernel and it seems that no one has attempted to create a module for the later kernels yet. |

if someone confirms the builded module works as well (not only builds), we can add it to the kernel package. Please read rules and do a search before you post! . FAQs . How to post log file? . Looking for answers? Please start here |
