Hi everyone, i’m new on Beaglebone Black, but after a long search finally I installed a dongle wifi bringing together articles from different sites and tutorials.
-
Step 1: go to folder /tmp to not fill the space on beaglebone
-
cd /tmp
-
sudo apt-get update
-
wget https://github.com/celsopadilha/rtl8192cu-tjp-dkms_1.6_all/blob/master/rtl8192cu-tjp-dkms_1.6_all.deb
-
wget https://github.com/celsopadilha/linux-headers-3.8.13-bone56_1.0precise_armhf/blob/master/linux-headers-3.8.13-bone56_1.0precise_armhf.deb
-
dpkg -i linux-headers-3.8.13-bone56_1.0precise_armhf.deb
-
sudo apt-get install dkms
-
dpkg -i rtl8192cu-tjp-dkms_1.6_all.deb- Ensure that /usr/src have these folders: /lib ; **/**linux-headers-3.8.13-bone56 ; /linux-3.14.4.1-bone-armhf.com; /rtl8192cu-tjp-1.6.
-
Lets go fix one bug in library timex.h
-
cd /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.13-bone56/arch/
-
nano /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.13-bone56/arch/armv7l/include/asm/timex.h- Change #include <mach/timex.h> for: #include </usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.13-bone56/arch/arm/include/asm/timex.h>
-
cd /usr/src/rtl8192cu-tjp-1.6/
-
make
-
cp 8192cu.ko /lib/modules/3.8.13-bone56/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
-
depmod
-
nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf- Add these commands to the end of file:
blacklist rtl8192cu
blacklist rtl8192c_common
blacklist rtlwifi
-
nano /etc/network/interfaces
Now add your wireless network to interfaces file:
WiFi Example
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid “mynetwork”
wpa-psk “mynetworkpassword”
-
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
-
sudo reboot

Be happy and have fun, it works for me, i’m doesnt know much about this configuration but is the only that work fine for me.
Sry for my terrible english
