Hello,
First of all sorry if it explain in some place but I don't find any info about it.
I try to use the MOD-WIFI-RTL8188 in one A20board with debian release 5, but I don't have succes.
I uncomment the line of wlan6 in the etc/networks/interface file and rebbot.
But nothing run.
When I put in command line ifconfig -a no wlan interfaces appears only lo etho and tunl0
Ethernet works fine.
I mistake or forgot something?
Any help will be a apreciate.
regards,
Hi,
I also have issues with MOD RTL8188 on A20 Lime board using Debian release 5.
However, in my case wlan0 is always presented without problems but when i try to connect to wlan0
(either from ifup wlan0 or using NetworkManager) system freeze or crush and CPU gets too (100% cpu usage).
Is there anyone who had successfully make it work ?.
I also tried with RTL8192 dongle with the same disappointing results !
What happens with another OS version? Doesn't have to be Debian.
If any works you know it's a Debian bug and if it is then reporting here may not really be useful.

I finally make RTL8188 functional with Olimex pre-built image "a20_Lime_debian_3.4.90_release_3"
I also have tried to combine rootfs from 3.14.103 and uImage from 3.14.90 or vice versa but only 3.14.90 original image works in terms of Wi-Fi.
My goal is to find if the problem is in kernel or distribution (rootfs) in order to be able to build kernel with custom configuration.
