Defective WIFI module?

Post by eshneken »

Hello,

I received my RPI kit that included the Miniature WiFi module (https://www.adafruit.com/products/814).

After several hours of trying to configure Wifi to work, I stumbled on this forum entry:

http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... 28&t=44044

Which guided me to first make sure the USB module is being detected. When I run lsusb, I don't see the Wifi module detected. When I plug a mouse into either port, I do see it registered. When I plug the wifi module into my Windows 7 computer, I don't see it being detected.

Is there anything else I can check before believing the Wifi module may be defective and contacting AdaFruit for a replacement?

thanks,
Ed
