<p>Stevan white: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Device_Report|Edimax EW-7811Un|RTL8188CUS|7392:7811|}}<br /> <br /> This is Ubuntu 10.10 on an AMD x86_64.<br /> <br /> Plugged the device in, and saw it appear in lsusb, and a message appears in /var/log/messages<br /> <br /> new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and addresss 11<br /> <br /> But iwconfig shows no wlan0.<br /> <br /> Downloaded the Linux drivers from Edimax (the Realtek drivers).<br /> They build, but with lots of warnings relating to 64 vs 32 bit stuff.<br /> The module loads, but does not work. Lots of errors appear in /var/log/messages,<br /> mostly &quot;usb read/wrote TimeOut!&quot;<br /> Wrote to Realtek support asking them to fix this, haven&#039;t heard back.<br /> <br /> Similar story, no apparent solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1658112<br /> <br /> So unloaded the 8192cu module, blacklisted it in in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf Then installed ndiswrapper, and got the Windows drivers from the Edimax site.<br /> There are 32 and 64 bit versions for Win7 Vista and XP. Tried XP 64 first,<br /> then the other 64 bit ones, then the 32 bit ones. They load<br /> <br /> $ ndiswrapper -l<br /> net8192cu: device (7392:7811) present (alternate driver: 8192cu)<br /> <br /> but iwconfig shows no wlan0<br /> <br /> [[Category:USB]]<br /> [[Category:NOTWORKING]]<br /> [[Category:Edimax]]</div>
