Setting up wifi EW-7811Un

[narfinho]

Hi!
i have a raspberry pi 2 and i’m not able to set up wifi with a Edimax EW-7811Un. lsusb shows this:

osmc@rasposmc:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 046d:c316 Logitech, Inc. HID-Compliant Keyboard
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter
[Realtek RTL8188CUS]

i have found different threads regarding issues with wifi, but most of them are pretty old… to be honset: i don’t even know where i would configure wifi… most logical option would be gui > my osmc > network, but there i have only the options “wired” and “mysql”…

i have tried connmanctl (because i saw this on some 4 year old threads ) :

connmanctl> technologies
/net/connman/technology/ethernet
  Name = Wired
  Type = ethernet
  Powered = True
  Connected = True
  Tethering = False
connmanctl> enable wifi
Error wifi: Method "SetProperty" with signature "sv" on interface "net.connman.Technology" doesn't exist

connmanctl> scan wifi
Error /net/connman/technology/wifi: Method "Scan" with signature "" on interface "net.connman.Technology" doesn't exist

what am i missing?

Well you are missing a driver for the device.
Currently it is not supported. @sam_nazarko may introduce the driver in an upcoming update. See this thread

Edimax Wireless Adaptor (Realtek rtl8192)

My Edimax Wireless adaptor doesn’t work on my RBP2. It used to work a few years ago, but not sure what distro I was using then. From what I can find in the forums, there are a few (conflicting) drivers available. According to @sam_nazarko here, it looks like the fix might be as simple as adding the USB device IDs to some list. lsusb Bus 001 Device 006: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS] dmesg [ 2888.269673] usb 1-1.2: USB dis…
