ORANGEPI-PC + ubuntu 14.04 natively supports firmware reading, the reason why the RTL8192CU firmware is not loaded is because ORANGEPI-PC's Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) No firmware provided
All we need to do is copy firmware from somewhere else to Orangepi/lib/firmware, I'm a copy of Ubuntu from my laptop firmware
When the NIC is loaded, because there is no interface, so we need to configure the network card with the command line, I use the following methods:
1. Change the/etc/network/interfaces to add the following to it (skip the section if it already exists):
# The loopback network Interfaceauto loiface Lo inet loopback# The primary network Interfaceallow-fo R wifiallow-hotplug wlan0iface wlan0 inet DHCP WPA-driver wext WPA-conf/etc/ Wpa_supplicant.conf
2. To change or create a/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, here is an example:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicantctrl_interface_group=0Ap_scan=1 Network={ SSID="example_server" PSK=" Example_password " }
Reseat the USB wireless card should be able to see the wlan0 and its IP address in the Ifconfig
If you want to configure additional networks, you can:
1. Modify/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
2. sudo wpa_cli using interactive mode to complete configuration
Use USB WiFi (RTL8188CU/RTL8192CU) under ORANGEPI-PC, Ubuntu Trusy Mini
