Re: TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 works out of the box on Raspbian
Hi MrEngman,
I tried a lot of things, but didn't get the wifi up like it should.
At last I bought an edimax (EW-7811UN) wifi adapter and it was up and running in seconds.
Don't know why, but it does. No workarounds or nothing.

Re: TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 works out of the box on Raspbian
Hello all,
I have the same problem that patrick31698 has. The only different is that I am using the compilation 3.12.35+ #730.
When try to connect the log report this error:
What can I do?
I am trying to connect to a wifi network encrypted with WPA2-AES.
Thank you very much.

How have you configured your connection? Using file /etc/network/interfaces or using wpa_supplicant?conde wrote:Hello all,

Re: TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 works out of the box on Raspbian
This thread is so confusing 
I'm running Raspbian 3.18.7-v7+ #755 and just bought the WN725N.
Where can I find the correct drivers for this?

Do you a suggestion?
Thank you

You can check if the wifi module works with this driver with command lsusb. It will show "ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp." for the version of module working with this driver.
When installing it did you get any errors running any of the commands? With the wifi module connected to the Pi does command lsmod show 8188eu or maybe r8188eu?
What does command ifconfig show?
Also what do you see when you use command
Code: Select all
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan

Thank you for your fast reply. I did not experimented any error message during the installation of driver with ./install.sh
My lsusb output
and my lsmod output
They seem ok, but if I type /sbin/ifconfig I get this
and with sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
So there is no wifi interface. My current /etc/network/interfaces, should I modify it?

Re: TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 works out of the box on Raspbian
You need to set up your /etc/network/interfaces file correctly to include the wifi interface configuration.
/etc/network/interfaces should look likeYou will need to set network-name and network-password to the ones your network uses.
This format is for a network using WPA/WPA2 security. If your network uses a different security type you will need to change the last two lines.
MrEngman

Re: TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 works out of the box on Raspbian
Thank you MrEngman as I supposed I have to modify the configuration files /etc/network/interfaces.
Now I discovered that there are two way to connect to WiFi network. The first is to modify the configuration file /etc/network/interfaces as you described in your previous post while the second is to use the WPA supplicant by changing the /etc/network/interfaces as
and the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf as
Where are the differences between them?

Re: TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 works out of the box on Raspbian
Using wpa_supplicant can make it simpler to connect your wifi to many different wifi networks if you move around to different locations and take your Pi with you. It makes it possible to configure your wifi to connect to different access points without having to edit any files.erotavlas wrote:Thank you MrEngman as I supposed I have to modify the configuration files /etc/network/interfaces.

There are many different ways to configure the wifi connection. I prefer to just use /etc/network/interfaces.
To use wpa_supplicant there are also many ways to configure it. You should be able to connect your network using wpa_supplicant using the default format of the file /etc/network/interfaces which is like
Code: Select all
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp
I do not use wpa_supplicant so I am not too familiar with how it works but using the way you have set up it would be possible to set it up to connect to different networks by adding new network{...} sections for each network you connect to and it will connect automatically. Using the default format for /etc/network/interfaces then wpa_supplicant can be configured to connect to different networks just the same but I believe you will need to manually select the network to connect to. As it says in the default /etc/network/interfaces
Personally I think the main difference is not so much how it is set up but how each person prefers to set up their wifi, and I prefer /etc/network/interfaces.iface wlan0 inet manual

If you downloaded the right driver it will show in the list of loaded modules when you use command lsmod, but it does not so I expect you downloaded the wrong driver.
What does the complete output of command uname -a show so I can tell you which file to download and install?

I downloaded

when it ran it tried to put it in

I have

thus the modification to the install.sh
the uname command produces

the 20150130 is the only driver I came across and from my research the 8188eu looked to be the correct driver.

Re: TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 works out of the box on Raspbian
Hi MrEngma,
I read the whole thread because I have same issue here (TP Link WN725N disconnect after a while).
TP Link WN725N connected to Raspberry 2 model B.
All the thread talk about linux kernel 3.x.x but last osmc version include 4.4.1 kernel.
uname -a returns:

At the moment I have connected my Raspberry with Ethernet in order to have a stable connection. I have also a IRC remote controlled attached to USB.
I tried also:
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/802 ... 406.tar.gz
tar xzvf 8188eu-v7-20150212.tar.gz

to let the script to determine the version but it failed with this error:

Do I have to assume that this driver works only with 3.x.x kernel?
If so, do I have to switch to OpenElec?

TP Link WN725N connected to Raspberry 2 model B.
All the thread talk about linux kernel 3.x.x but last osmc version include 4.4.1 kernel.
uname -a returns:
Linux osmc 4.4.1-1-osmc #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Feb 15 01:00:53 UTC 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux
lsusb shows this:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1d57:ad02 Xenta SE340D PC Remote Control
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
At the moment I have connected my Raspberry with Ethernet in order to have a stable connection. I have also a IRC remote controlled attached to USB.
I tried also:
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/802 ... 406.tar.gz
tar xzvf 8188eu-v7-20150212.tar.gz
./install.sh
to let the script to determine the version but it failed with this error:
sudo cp 8188eu.conf /etc/modprobe.d/.
sudo install -p -m 644 8188eu.ko /lib/modules/3.18.11-v7+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
install: cannot create regular file '/lib/modules/3.18.11-v7+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless': No such file or directory
sudo depmod 3.18.11-v7+
depmod: ERROR: could not open directory /lib/modules/3.18.11-v7+: No such file or directory
depmod: FATAL: could not search modules: No such file or directory
Do I have to assume that this driver works only with 3.x.x kernel?
If so, do I have to switch to OpenElec?

Re: TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 works out of the box on Raspbian
Hi again,
anyone can help?
Reading this post:
viewtopic.php?f=28&t=62371
I tried the driver
8188eu-20160219.tar.gz
but it still not work. Now the driver not start at all, the light on device is turned off and wireless connection disappeared completely.
Is there a driver for 4.4.1?
anyone can help?

Re: TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 works out of the box on Raspbian
The drivers I compile are for Raspbian wheezy and Jessie and so probably will not work with osmc which is the version I think you are using.sasadangelo wrote:Hi again,

There is a version of the 8188eu driver included in various OS, but if you try and install my driver it will disable the driver included in the OS. To enable the built in driver you need to delete the file /etc/modprobe.d/8188eu.conf. e.g. use command
Code: Select all
sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/8188eu.conf

Re: TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 works out of the box on Raspbian
Hi MrEngman,
It worked. My problem was that the connection drop after a while. At the moment I am checking if it will occurs again. For the moment not.
I have V2 adapter (I asked to the official support team and they told me that if device has 1588 printed on it then it is a V2)
Now I have few questions:
1. which driver I am using now? If I do "cd /lib/modules/4.4.1-1-osmc" and "find . -type f | grep 8188" I get
./kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8188eu.ko
./kernel/drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/r8188eu.ko
how I can understand which one I am using? Is there any command to understand this?
3. I have to activate the driver manually each time I start Raspberry. How I can activate it at startup?
Thanks

The command lsmod shows the drivers that are being used.sasadangelo wrote:Hi MrEngman,

My driver is ./kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8188eu.ko and I don't expect it to work with osmc so I would suggest you delete it using
Code: Select all
sudo rm /lib/modules/4.4.1-1-osmc/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8188eu.ko
Code: Select all
ls -l /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8188eufw.bin
Code: Select all
sudo wget https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu/raw/master/rtl8188eufw.bin -O /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8188eufw.bin

Re: TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 works out of the box on Raspbian
Ok, thanks it works.
I will monitor the connection to check if the drop occurs again and I'll let you know.
In the meanwhile I have two other problems:
1. connect wireless automatically at startup
2. request a fixed hostname to dhcp so I do not have to try to figure out the ip assigned.
Thanks

Re: TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 works out of the box on Raspbian
Hi MrEngma,
I monitored the raspberry and I noticed few things. I have windows with putty (with and without keep alive). Leaving the shells in idle after a while they become inactive.
If I try to reconnect the wireless is still up and running.
Looking on dmesg I found the error below.
[ 2102.508682] R8188EU: ERROR linked_status_chk(wlan0) disconnect or roaming
[ 2104.519938] R8188EU: ERROR assoc success

It's not clear to me if only ssh connection go down or the whole wireless.
PS
I have this power adapter
http://www.samsung.com/sg/consumer/mobi ... U90EWEGSTD
OUTPUT 5.0V 2.0A
but on another line is written100-240V Frekuensi 50-60Hz 0.35 A (it's not clear here if current is 2.0A or 0.35A)

Re: TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 works out of the box on Raspbian
The errors should probably really be warnings.sasadangelo wrote:Hi MrEngma,
I monitored the raspberry and I noticed few things. I have windows with putty. On one putty I configured keep alive to 60 secs. Leaving the shell in idle after a while it become inactive. On the other putty with no keep alive (and this is strange) the connect remain in open. When I go back for few secs it is unresponsive but later it become responsive and everything work properly.
Looking on dmesg I found the error below.
So it's not clear to me if this kind of work is normal or I am experiencing problems.

You could try the following to keep the wifi alive. Create a file using command
Code: Select all
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/r8188eu.conf
Code: Select all
options r8188eu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0
I have not tried this file with the r8188eu driver but it seems to be a standard format for wifi adapters using Realtek chip sets. You can check if it working using command
Code: Select all
cat /sys/module/r8188eu/parameters/rtw_power_mgnt
Your power supply output to the Pi is 5.0V 2.0A. The other info is for the power supply input from the mains supply.

Re: TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 works out of the box on Raspbian
Hi,
cat /sys/module/r8188eu/parameters/rtw_power_mgnt
return 0
but problem persist. I must say it seems less frequent.
