I have a OURLINK wifi adapter
I can see the wifi, and it has a inet6 address, but not an ip address.
I can’t figure out why not?
I am using a wpa_supplicant.conf file which I know works (because it is the same file that works on my raspberry pi.
Can someone who knows what my problem is, tell me what I need to do?
lsusb output is:
us 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter

My interfaces file looks like this:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp
The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
Example to keep MAC address between reboots
#hwaddress ether DE:AD:BE:EF:CA:FE
The secondary network interface
#allow-hotplug eth1
#iface eth1 inet dhcp
WiFi Example
#iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid “essid”
wpa-psk “password”
Ethernet/RNDIS gadget (g_ether)
… or on host side, usbnet and random hwaddr
Note on some boards, usb0 is automaticly setup with an init script
iface usb0 inet static

netmask 255.255.255.0
