Title: BAMT - Getting a wireless usb adaptor to function
Post by: psilan on August 18, 2012, 10:40:25 AM
Hating Windows mining. Too many issues, so I thought I would give BAMT a go.
Going great until I needed a wireless adaptor to work! This little EW-7811Un was too small to resist. Would be great to get it going.

My linux/unix/etc knowledge is quite flakey. I have not touched it in a long time.

lsusb
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS]

iwconfig
Nothing

ifconfig
Just shows my two wired eth0,1 and loc.

I have the linux drivers on another USB ready via the Edimax website, but thought there might get some way since it is just Realtek and BAMT 'recognises' via lsusb...if that means anything.
Unsure how to load drivers for this in BAMT anyway. Searched for quite a while to no avail.

Help appreciated :).

Thanks.

RIG is a smallish setup, MSI 890. 5970,5870,5850. Another 5970 in the mail.

It's cool, thanks for the response.

This wee thing can go to the Raspberry Pi I guess, if nobody else has any tips.
