Hi, all:
I’ve been stuck at RTL8192CU wireless connection on my beaglebone. I tried the solution here http://gencarelle.com/blog/2013/07/19/problems-with-rtl8188cus/ . With the wired connection, the current situation on my beaglebone is like:

ubuntu@arm:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8178 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8192CU 802.11n WLAN Adapter

ubuntu@arm:~$ lsmod | grep 8192

ubuntu@arm:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Example to keep MAC address between reboots
#hwaddress ether DE:AD:BE:EF:CA:FE
WiFi Example
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid “MYSSID”
wpa-psk “PASSWORD”
Ethernet/RNDIS gadget (g_ether)
… or on host side, usbnet and random hwaddr

My questions are:
- What is usb0? Is it corresponding to the usb wireless adapter? But, I think the usb wireless adapter should be corresponding to wlan0 .
- My own intranet’s gateway is: 192.168.1.1 . I just want to realize wireless connection by using my RTK8192CU USB wireless adapter, instead of the Wired connection. How should I proceed?? The current phenomenon is: whenever I plugged out the Wired connection, my router seems to be unable to detect the wireless device on this beaglebone. However, if I plugged the wire into my beaglebone, I got the above quoted phenomenon, but still, no wireless connection.
Can anybody help please?
Best Regards
Pei
