USB WiFi dongles
All below BASH commands needs to be executed as user 'root'.
When your WiFi dongle is detected and drivers are loaded properly, easiest way to change WiFi settings is using:
xbian-config
Sometimes the WiFi connection cant be established quick enough on boot and you run into problems if using a shared MySQL database for Kodi/XBMC.
To delay Kodi/XBMC at boot (asuming WiFi is on 'wlan0' interface):
sed -i "s/start on started mountall/start on started mountall and started networking and net-device-up wlan0/" /etc/init/xbmc-preload.conf
If your WiFi dongle is designated as 'wlan1' and you want to change to 'wlan0', you can alter in below file if exists:
nano /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
To see vendor/device id for connected USB devices use below command:
lsusb
Vendor/device id “0bda:8179”:
Driver is already installed at ”/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/r8188eu.ko”.
But needs below firmware:
wget https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu/raw/master/rtl8188eufw.bin -O /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8188eufw.bin echo "options r8188eu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0" > /etc/modprobe.d/r8188eu.conf reboot
Vendor/device id “0df6:0077”:
echo 'install 8192cu /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install 8192cu; /bin/echo "0df6 0077" >| /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf echo "options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0" >> /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf echo "8192cu" >> /etc/modules reboot
