Hi, i am having the same wifi issue with the beagleboard-xm. Can you please tell me which interface in /etc/network/interfaces did you use? I have already copied all the required .bin files to the /lib/firmware/rtlwifi directory. But i still can,t see any light on the dongle nor any wifi connections. Please help.
