hi,

The TP-LINK TL-WN353G 54M wireless G PCI adapter has the RTL8185L chipset.

https://wiki.debian.org/rtl818x

Q: Is the driver available for 3.8.13 kernel?

coreplayer2:
Let me check on support for a RTL8185L chipset

thx


Update:  The rtl8180.ko wireless driver is available in x86 and x86_64 wireless-3.8.13-tinycore extensions which
supposedly support both RTL8180L and RTL8185L chipsets


If you haven't bought it yet, then I would look at the D-LINK Wireless N300 Nano USB Adapter DWA-131, which
is quite fast (N300), has greater range and is no bigger than my thumb nail.

this result from my notebook using tc-5.1 with the above D-LINK DWA-131 and a matching N capable router

hi,

Q: What's all needed besides the following commands to get the RTL8185L functional w/TCP 5.1:


--- Code: ---$ tce-load -i wireless_tools
$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "eltonenetwork"
$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 key 6789abcdef
$ sudo udhcpc -b -i wlan0 -x hostname:box -p /var/run/udhcpc.wlan0.pid


--- End code ---

'lspci' was not found to query the WLAN device!

Juanito:
If you use the "provides" function of the apps gui, you'll see that "lspci" is provided by the pci-utils extension
