Great project and lots of interesting things with this BBB. I'm having a similar issue as what was posted in this thread. I'm attempting to get the UWN100 functional with BBB. So far no luck. It appears my problem is getting the driver to install. I'm looking to use this with MachineKit and a LCD7 cape. Below are some key bits about my particular image.
$ uname -r 3.8.13-xenomai-r83 $ cat /etc/debian_version 8.7 $ whoami machinekit I'm using the machinekit BBB image posted at the below link. It looks like the last build was 2017-02-12 19:35 http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#BBW.2FBBB_.28All_Revs.29_Machinekit I have installed that image, and it mostly works with my LCD7. I have a functional ssh over USB and I have a hardwired Ethernet / internet connection. However I'm having trouble getting it to work with the wifi. The hard wired setup is not pleasant for me, so I'm really hoping I can get the wifi working. When un-powered I plugged in the USB UWN100, then booted it up. Then ifconfig does not show ra0 or wlan0. Then lsmod does not show anything like rt2800usb. I did a bunch of modprobes and got things that might be close to show up with lsmod. But still no ra0 and no wlan0. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get the driver installed? I have tried module-assistant and the below commands, but still no dice. I seem to have loaded a bunch of modules, and perhaps one of the modules is correct but needs to be configured. I'm not sure. See below commands for additional information. Is it possible to get the wifi module to load? Thanks in advance, and any help on this matter would be appreciated. $ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 90:59:af:8e:32:6c inet addr:192.168.1.80 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::9259:afff:fe8e:326c/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST DYNAMIC MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:15153 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:147 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2110142 (2.0 MiB) TX bytes:19077 (18.6 KiB) Interrupt:40 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:1784 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1784 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:137919 (134.6 KiB) TX bytes:137919 (134.6 KiB) usb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 90:59:af:8e:32:6e inet addr:192.168.7.2 Bcast:192.168.7.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::9259:afff:fe8e:326e/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:3593 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1302 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:354403 (346.0 KiB) TX bytes:303300 (296.1 KiB) $ lsusb Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
