I have a rev A6 BeagleBone with the stock Angstrom image, powered by a 5V, 2A power supply. I am trying to follow the tutorial (http://learn.adafruit.com/beaglebone/wifi) using a slightly different adapter (http://adafruit.com/products/1030), which I understand to be the same chipset, but with a bigger antenna. Plugging this WiFi adapter into an Ubuntu machine shows that it identifies it as having rtl8192cu according to dmesg.
I have run:
Code: Select all
opkg update
mkdir /home/root/tmp
opkg -t /home/root/tmp upgrade
Code: Select all
opkg list 'linux-firmware-rt*'
