Hello,
I have installed siduction 2013-december Gnome and it installed OK. I do not have ethernet but only wifi. My wifi is an 8192cu usb adapter. The rtl8192 or rtl8192cu module is being loaded as it shows up in modprobe. If I remove my usb device and reinstall it, the wifi adapter is still not recognized. This means there is no internet access. I have searched the forum and I can't find any solution to how to get 8192cu to work. Can anyone help please?
Thank you.
The driver for that is in the firmware-realtek package. I have a Belkin n300 wifi adapter with that chip. However, I must say that it has never worked anywhere near as well as a TP-Link USB wifi adapter. The Belkin works within 6 or 8 meters of the antenna, but does not work upstairs in the house when it has to get the signal through the floor.
Hi pincare,
do you habe installed the firmware firmware-realtek for your WLAN-Stick? Can you post the output from the commands lsmod and inxi -v3.

Hope someone can help.
Thanks!
Do you have non-free enabled in your debian sources list?
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
Make sure non-free is on that line. That's where firmware-realtek is found.
Hi,
the "non-free" entry please /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list with the record (such as Going Easy has already said). Then install the firmware and test it again.
# apt-get update
# apt-get install firmware-realtek
