I'm trying to run through this solution to see if I can get the Realtek USB wifi to work.  I got to  ...

trying to build that driver on the OPI will not work and you also seem to miss a (cross)compiler and probably other dependencies needed to build the driver correctly


anyway..I have build the driver for you:

cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/lymon66/ORANGEPI-PC/blob/master/8192cu.ko?raw=true
mv /tmp/8192cu.ko\?raw\=true   /lib/modules/3.4.39/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8192cu.ko
depmod -a

and to check if it is installed correctly:
modinfo 8192cu

I don't have a USB wifi interface with this particular chipset myself, so couldn't test it...

@Survive-Pi  To solve the problem with btrfs:
edit the install_to_emmc script, find the mkfs.btrfs command and change it so that it looks like:

1. mkfs.btrfs -O ^extref,^skinny-metadata -f -L emmclinux ${sdcard}p2 > /dev/null 2>&1

Copy code

There was some changes in new btrfs-tools which make skinny-metadata option default, and it is not supported in the OPI kernel
Make the same change in any script that uses mkfs.btrfs or if you use btrfs format manualy.


@lymon @etopi  The 8192cu.ko driver is allready available in kernel modules directory (/lib/modules/3.4.39[-01-lobo]/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu directory)
The driver requires the firmware loading, and it it does not work on Ubuntu Vivid/Willy , same as any driver which requires firmware loading.

This is strange. Could you try to download scriptbin_kernel.tar.gz from Mega and copy/rename script.bin from there ...

Loboris, thank you for your work on Debian8 images!

I have using the Raspberry Pi for some years. Last week I swap to the mutch faster OPi2+.

I managed to get all things running. (Samba, Citadel, Cups, VirtualHere, SSH, Seafile, Twonky)
On the Raspberry I have installed TVHeadand with an rtl2832U DVB-T USB Dongle.

But your kernel has no driver for the rtl2832U. Is it possible that someone is compiling these drivers?
I have no crosscompiling envirement installed just now.
The 3.10 Kernel have these drivers.

OK, so I just need to try a different OS.  Does Lubuntu count as Ubuntu?  Below is your original list of OSes without the ones the Ubuntu ones.  Should the rest of these work?  I'll start trying them today and let you know what I find,  but are there any of these that you can say for sure won't work?
