Official Raspverry Pi Wifi dongle is based on BCM43143 chipset.

Thanks @ Jerry

the following steps worked for me.
step 1 was about 40MB so make take a little time to download.

THE below URL gets trunkated and you can’t copy and paste it so I’ve split the single command accross two lines breaking at the P char
sudo git clone --depth 1 git.kernel.org/p <----
—> ub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git

full link is:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kern … rmware.git

cd linux-firmware
cd ./brcm (only copy these firmwares)
sudo cp -R * /lib/firmware

remove the dongle.
Plug it back in after 10 seconds and you shoudl now see a device recognised as a network but it didn’t work until after a reboot for me.

Volumio2
(VERSION: 0.976 - when did 2 turn into 0.X ???)

Official Raspberry Pi dongle working after installing extra drivers.
See previous update.

To get this working in the above version my previous instructions in this thread didn’t work.
Instead I copied the entire of the git cloned firmware folder into /lib/firmware/ and rebooted.

This fixed it. not idea, but quicker than looking for the specific driver.

Intermittent functionality upon reboot on 2.175, using USB hub works around the issue. Many messages similar to “Transfer to device 5 endpoint 0x1 frame 825 failed - FIQ reported NYET. Data may have been lost”. Couldn’t be bothered to debug further - fairly obviously an upstream issue.

Csl wlan 300 wifi dongle:

This cheap wifi dongle (about 10€) is working good in my audio system (Volumio 2.185 - rpi3 - Kali - Piano 2.1) without problems.
Works good with big DSD128 files…
is not enough for DSD256, I experienced stuttering audio…

39

Can you find the chipset (eg. from lsusb) please, so I can add it to list? I did Google it, but there seems to be more than one chipset in use. Cheers :slight_smile:

Buongiorno.

Mi chiamo Paolo.

Vi chiedo gentilmente di aiutarmi nell’installazione dell’interfaccia usb Edimax EW-7811UN per connettere via Wi-Fi volumio 2 montato su raspberry-B. Scrivo in italiano perché il mio inglese non è ottimo.
Ho provato a seguire le istruzioni dei forum ma senza esito.
Una volta configurato l’apparato e salvata la configurazione il dispositivo non si allaccia alla rete wifi. Non sto usando pwd, ed ho dato un indirizzo statico alla connessione wired che invece funziona perfettamente.
Devo fare qualcosa in particolare?

La risposta puo’ essere in inglese.

Grazie fin da ora .

Paolo

Good morning.

My name is Paolo.

I kindly ask you to help me install the usa Edimax EW-7811UN usb interface to connect via Wi-Fi volume 2 mounted on raspberry-B. I translated from Italian with an automatic translator because my English is not great.
I tried to follow the forum instructions but without success.
Once the device is configured and the configuration is saved the device does not connect to the wifi network. I’m not using pwd, and I gave a static address to the wired connection that works perfectly.
Do I have to do something in particular?

Thank you for now.

Paolo.

FIX:

sudo wget http://www.fars-robotics.net/install-wifi -O /usr/bin/install-wifi sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/install-wifi
To install the driver on your current kernel you should just need to run command

sudo install-wifi

This will select the driver you need and automatically download and install it.
