Title: R18 wifi
Post by: BJFreeman on April 25, 2013, 06:17:47 PM
I have successfully booted R18
I am unable to get the wifi working.
I got it working under Debian SD.
using the same steps I can not get an IP.
I am using WEP 128.
I do a iwlist wlan1 scan and see my AP
I have modified the interfaces file and
did the manual steps.

any Ideas?

WEP? Is router only WEP, would be better WPA. Anyway you need firmware to rtl8188, http://dl.linux-sunxi.org/rtlwifi/ (http://dl.linux-sunxi.org/rtlwifi/).

not sure what I did but got the AP to show in wics
was able to find a compatible encryption between the two.

Ok the Wicd finally showed the list and I was able to configure R18 under X-11
