Raspberry Pi 2 Wifi (nl80211, cheap dongle)

[bradwiggo]

Hi bradwiggo
While it is likely that device is supported, posting the
result of lsusb for an actual device is the best way to
know for sure.

Tp-link has used several different chipsets for this device.

Thanks, looking at buying one from Amazon.

Do you know if these models are supported?

Edimax EW-7811Un V2 (seems to use rt8192cu)
TP-Link Archer T2U Nano (uses rtl8812au according to AskUbuntu)
TP-Link Archer T3U Nano (AC1300) (I think it uses rtl88x2bu)
TP-Link Archer T2UB Nano (TL-WN725N) (rtl8188eu according to AskUbuntu)

(or is there a list somewhere, don't want to spam questions)

Update: Bought the TP-Link Archer T2UB Nano (TL-WN725N) from Amazon, will report back when it arrives.

Update 2: The TP-Link Archer T2UB Nano works fine on PiCore 16, using the firmware-ralinkwifi package.
