    There are many threads here asking for the same information. The one I linked was posted just an hour ago!

    Re: Cannot connect to ethernet with wired connection

    I returned the D-Link and got the "ASUS (USB-N13) Wireless-N USB Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates". Should have it by next Tuesday.

    Re: Cannot connect to ethernet with wired connection

    I got my ASUS (USB-N13) Wireless-N USB Adapter. My wireless connection shows that I'm connected, but I cannot get on the internet. I went to edit connections > Network Connections and clicked Wireless. I then clicked on my name then clicked edit.

    What settings should I have for:

    1. Wireless
    2. IPv4 Settings
    3. IPv6 Settings
    4. Wireless Security

    I have the same settings as I have in my laptop.

    The wireless disconnects and asks to reconnect, I click yes and the it reconnects for awhile and then
    disconnects again?

    Am I going in the right direction or did I miss something?


    Thank You

    The wireless USB adapter came with a install disk for windows. I found this on the disk for Linux:

    User Guide for Station mode
    ================================================== ================================================== ==============

    1. User Guide(1) - connecting wireless networking using "Network Manager" GUI utility (For PC Linux)

    (1) Network Manager is a utility attempts to make use of wireless networking easy.

    (2) Notes: if you want to use the following command-line method to connect wireless networking,
    please disable the "Network Manager", because "Network Manager" will conflict with method of command line .


    2. User Guide(2) - Using the wpa_cli & wpa_supplicant tools (For embedded Linux)
    Please refer to the document/wpa_cli_with_wpa_supplicant_20091227.doc


    3. User Guide(3) - Set wireless lan MIBs in Command Line (Legacy command - Not recommend)
    This driver uses Wireless Extension as an interface allowing you to set
    Wireless LAN specific parameters.

    Current driver supports "iwlist" to show the device status of nic
    iwlist wlan0 [parameters]
    where
    parameter explaination [parameters]
    ----------------------- -------------
    Show and Scan BSS and IBSS scan[ning]
    Show available chan and freq freq / channel
    Show supported bit-rate rate / bit[rate]

    For example:
    iwlist wlan0 scan
    iwlist wlan0 channel
    iwlist wlan0 rate

    Driver also supports "iwconfig", manipulate driver private ioctls, to set
    MIBs.

    iwconfig wlan0 [parameters] [val]
    where
    parameter explaination [parameters] [val] constraints
    ----------------------- ------------- ------------------
    Connect to AP by address ap [mac_addr]
    Set the essid, join (I)BSS essid [essid]
    Set operation mode mode {Managed|Ad-hoc}
    Set keys and security mode key/enc[ryption] {N|open|restricted|off}

    For example:
    iwconfig wlan0 essid "ap_name"
    iwconfig wlan0 ap XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
    iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-hoc
    iwconfig wlan0 essid "name" mode Ad-hoc
    iwconfig wlan0 key 0123456789 [2] open
    iwconfig wlan0 key off
    iwconfig wlan0 key restricted [3] 0123456789
    Note: Better to set these MIBS without GUI such as NetworkManager and be sure that our
    nic has been brought up before these settings. WEP key index 2-4 is not supportted by
    NetworkManager.


    4. Getting IP address (For User Guide(2) & User Guide(3))
    After start up the nic and connect to AP successfully, the network needs to obtain an IP address
    before transmit/receive data.
    This can be done by setting the static IP via "ifconfig wlan0 IP_ADDRESS"
    command, or using DHCP.

    If using DHCP, setting steps is as below:
    (1)check if the WiFi had connected to an AP via "iwconfig" command
    $> iwconfig

    (2)run the script which run the dhclient
    $> ./wlan0dhcp
    or
    dhcpcd wlan0
    (Some network admins require that you use the
    hostname and domainname provided by the DHCP server.
    In that case, use
    dhcpcd -HD wlan0)

    5. WPAPSK/WPA2PSK - using wpa_supplicant (For User Guide(3))
    Wpa_supplicant helps to secure wireless connection with the protection of
    WPAPSK/WPA2PSK mechanism. Please refer to the document/wpa_cli_with_wpa_supplicant_20091227.doc

    Otherwise, you need to connect to Internet and use yum to install.

    step1.Modify "enable=1" to "0" in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo and /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo
    step2.#yum install gcc
    step3.#yum install make
    step4.#uname -r
    step5.#yum install kernel-devel
    Note: You must install the same version kernel of setp4.

    *Start install driver

    1.tar -zxvf rtl8192_8188CU_linux_v3.0.2164.20110715.tar.gz

    Re: Cannot connect to ethernet with wired connection

    As you can see it is from September, 1 2010 v 1.0.0.
    Which is exactly why it isn't ever going to compile in your modern kernel.
    What settings should I have for:

    1. Wireless
    2. IPv4 Settings
    3. IPv6 Settings
    4. Wireless Security
    1. Infrastructure; leave all other settings blank.
    2. Automatic (DHCP)
    3. Ignore
    4. Leave all blank.

    Network Manager should then find your network when you click the icon. After you select your network, you should be asked for your WPA2 password and connect. Is that what's happening?

    Re: Cannot connect to ethernet with wired connection

    Network Manager should then find your network when you click the icon. After you select your network, you should be asked for your WPA2 password and connect. Is that what's happening?

    Yes, it finds my network and asks for my password and it says I'm connected. It stays connected for a while then asks me to hit the reconnect button. I'm not really connected, because I cannot get on the Internet or update.
    1. Wireless
    2. IPv4 Settings
    3. IPv6 Settings
    4. Wireless Security

    These connections are the same as my laptop.

    1. Infrastructure; leave all other settings blank.
    2. Automatic (DHCP)
    3. Ignore
    4. Leave all blank.

    Re: Cannot connect to ethernet with wired connection

    Since the purpose of this device is to grab the driver for your ethernet, I think it's worth taking a few temporary steps, get the ethernet done and then put the USB away. First, in the router, turm off N speeds, if any. Second, make sure the encryption is WPA2 only and not the dreaded WPA and WPA2 mixed mode. Next, let's confirm the driver is rtl8192cu:
    Code:
    lsmod | grep rtl
    That's lower case for RTL.

    Now can you reliably connect? If not, let's try a driver parameter:
    Code:
    sudo modprobe -r rtl8192cu
    sudo modprobe rtl8192cu swenc=1
    Any improvement?
