[beagleboard] BBB + 3.8.13-bone56 + Logic Supply USB WiFi Problems

Hi all,

I've flashed my recently purchased BBB Rev C to 3.8.13-bone56. Attempted
to use the Logic Supply USB WiFi adapter (UWN200). I've been unable to get
this combination running. I've done nothing but put the appropriate lines
in

/etc/network/interfaces

# WiFi Example
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    wpa-ssid "WORKSHOP"
    wpa-psk "********"

# WiFi Example
#auto ra0
#iface ra0 inet dhcp
# wpa-ssid "WORKSHOP"
# wpa-psk "********"

I've try both wlan0 and ra0, no difference. The USB WiFi adapter is never
detected, dmesg shows no messages indicating it was found.

I do have a Edimax that is working fine, same board same settings (wlan0).

On the package from Logic Supply there is a statement that all drivers are
included with the latest Debian images. What am I missing?

Also with the Edimax, on boot up it connects fine only if there is a
hardwired Ethernet connection. Without the the hardwired Ethernet
connection, the boot time is slow and the wlan0 device never receives a
dhcp address.

And one more thing, is there any settings for power management I need to
take care of (prevent the USB WiFi adapter from going to sleep)?

Thanks for any ideas, help.

What did you "flash" to your rev C? Out of the box it should have
worked, not all "image" have that driver installed by default..

Dump the response of:

cat /etc/dogtag

Well, that's odd.. What was the full name of the file you "dd'ed" to
the microSD to flash the eMMC..

Don't have that info (workstation at work), but the date was 2014-06-05
and I am unable to find the link where I found it. So, I guess my question
is, what is the latest Debian flasher image and where would I find it.

Thanks

Okay, 2014-06-05 didn't have the third party module enabled by
default. (they'll be enabled on my next monthly build)

Open:

/etc/rcn-ee.conf

and add this last line

third_party_modules=enable

Then just rerun:

wget https://rcn-ee.net/deb/wheezy-armhf/v3.8.13-bone56/install-me.sh
sudo /bin/bash install-me.sh

and the module for that device will be added to your bbb.

(reboot)

And thank you John Syn for the link to the images. I've made a note of
that URL.

And thank you Robert, I take the following steps to get it going.
