SOLVED - Wifi problem with TP-LINK TL-W725N

ton89nl

Hi,

I'm just starting with PiPlay, and already got some roms working. I only can't get my wifi to work. I'm using a TP-LINK TL-W725N, but the wifi config does not show any devices in the selectboxes.

Does anybody have an idea what i need to do?

I'm running the 0.8 beta3

You have to manually put your network name, password type (eg. WEP) and password in. It doesn't just see it.

I solved this by installing the latest raspbian through NOOBS. Then following the steps here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=462982 to install the driver. Then the wifi config automatically detected my wifi dongle.

I am having the same trouble. How do you get the lastest version of raspbian without completely reimaging the sd card? Or do I have to install NOOBS to do it?

I did a clean install of NOOBS, and wanted to install PiPlay (through the installer) after installing NOOBS. But through the installer I only could get the 0.7 version of PiPlay (without the visual menu). So that was not working for me.

I'm back to 0.8 beta 3 (reflashed my card), but now without the latest NOOBS version I can't connect to WiFi anymore.

It seems to be one or the other right now. Hope this gets fixed in the next update.

Thanks for the update. I was having the same issue. Have you tried any other adapters? I was thinking about trying a Tenda adapter but I am afraid I will have the same issue. I wonder if any one else has tried a different brand or model.

You're using the older installer. Try:

wget -O - www.pimame.org/installer.sh | bash

That is 0.8 beta 1. Then run:

wget -O - www.pimame.org/update.sh | bash

to upgrade to beta 3.

Good luck!

Update: I completely started over. I installed the raspbian image and updated to the lastest version (I think 3.12.20+ #687). After that I installed the drivers for the wifi card and everything connected perfect! I then use code from Conno123009 to install the lastest version of pimame with success as well. Everything looks good except I still have an issue with the Xbox 360 wired controller not working correctly. All 4 ring lights keep flashing and I can't use it for any games. I have tried plugging it up directly to the pi and to a usb hub with no exceptions. I eventually want to have two controllers but I am hoping just to get one to work first. Any ideas?

your controller seems to be detected... now you should try the evtest/jstest program to see if all controls are working in the right way.

sudo xboxdrv --device-by-id "045e:028e"

Try this, it worked for me. Good luck ;)

Here is the output from using that command:

Sorry, try that instead

It's sounds like piplay is using X no?

@ian57
He did manage to copy the output of lsusb and xboxdrv. Which is very difficult in cli. So, yeah. Probably in X

:D

Howdy, Stranger!
