Yesterday I flashed OSMC on to an SD card and put it in to my new Pi 2. I ordered a new wifi dongle along with the Pi, it’s the TP-Link Archer T1U. However, upon running OSMC I don’t have the option to set up a wireless connection.
I connected ethernet and SSH’d in to my pi to try and diagnose the issue. It seems as though I’m missing the drivers for this dongle, as the output of lsusb is:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 2357:0105
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp. SMSC9512/9514 Fast Ethernet Adapter
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
I believe the WiFi adapter is the one with the ID of 2357:0105. The output of uname -a is: Linux osmc 4.4.6-3-osmc #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Apr 1 20:55:03 UTC 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux
Thanks both for your help. I’m wary of running a staging build so I’ll stick to the stable releases for now. I think what I’ll try to do is return this dongle and use an old one that I have lying around that is working.
Also Sam thanks so much for your work on OSMC, it’s awesome!
