Hello Danny,

??? Thank you for your help.? Without the D-LINK-131 plugged in a USB port, I plugged in a cable to the network adapter of my Rasp Pi and connected to the internet.?? I went to the D-Link website and downloaded the Linux driver for the???? DWA-131 adapter.? Now I have the driver? ¡°dwa131_linux_drivers_100.tar.gz¡±? in the??? /home/pi/downloads?? directory on my Rasp Pi.?? I am not sure how to proceed with this (tar.gz) file.?? I think it has to be decompressed and then install.?? Can you or anybody else explain how to do this.?? Also .....does it have to be in a certain directory?

Thank you

Don

Hi Don

In the setup guide it says to install the drivers before you plug in the adaptor but the included drivers are for windows or MAC you have to go to D-Link's web site to get the Linux drives. I wen't and downloaded the drivers but I think the instalation instructions assumes the user has more Linux

experence than I have. I opened wicd and it was able to see my wirless router but when I clicked connect it failed. Also when I logged into the router it sees the Raspberry an has given it an I.P address. There is a help section on the company web site that says to push the button on the end of the adaptor then push the wps button on the router but I haven't tryed that yet if that dosen't work I will contact the help center to see if they can help me get the drivers installed. If one of us gets it working we should write it up and post it to the files section.

Hello Danny
No I have not contacted D-Link support. The information that came with the adapter only had information on how to setup with Window or Apple, I figure if they had a fix for Linux, it would have been included in their literature. I also have installed wicd but do not know how to proceed. Nothing happens when I plug it into a USB port other than it flashing on and off! I know that the Pi knows it there because when I run lsusb, the system sees it. Good luck and let me know if you have any success.

Untarring (tar is the Unix/Linux equivalent of a zip file) -- is not what's going to trip up folks. This file contains source code to compile, firmware to put in the right place in the file system, activating services, and so forth.

Remember, the Pi is not a "consumer" desktop that comes with everything already built and integrated, so users would be well advised to use the verified peripherals list and pick what you need from there, unless you are prepared to put in the time to understand building things from source, editing, debugging, etc.

?

There are several approaches including a chroot environment and a virtual machine under Qemu.

You can also use cross compile tool chains with gcc. ?Use Google to find tutorials.

Is there a way to cross-compile it in Ubuntu or other distro? I wouldn't
expect the Pi to come with the libs etc. needed. Besides which it would
go much faster on a laptop or desktop. I've heard there is but don't
remember where.
