Hi,

I purchased a Rasberry 2 Model 2, with Raspbian Wheezy. I also bought a cheap Maxxter USB adapter (ACT-WNP-UA-005, chipset rtl8192EU)[*], but it does not get detected. I tried downloading the driver, but I still do not manage to get this working. Below is a PARTIAL list of stuff that I tried.
Is it possible to get this working, or should I just look for another one?

Thanks!

The elinux.org site says that rtl8192 is pre-installed. You shouldn't need to build the driver.

Then follow the web site instructions

Hi --thanks. I will try it once more tomorrow. When I tried adding it via the GUI the wlan card was not detected (so I could not enter my ssid, etc.). Also no LED light on the adapter, no sign of life. Later I tried again with a an Icudu adapter that I normally use for my WD mediacenter and everything worked as expected.

Best wishes,
Albert-Jan
