After using this adapter for a few months (18 months ago) I committed out all my wireless lines in /etc/network/interfaces and stopped using it because it kept breaking the connection at odd times.
I have to take a trip and this computer goes with me where I'll need to use WiFi and so I uncommitted out my network interfaces file, loaded the firmware (from the think penguin help site) plugged in the adapter but nothing happens. # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-ssid <my ssid, a dlink-dir825> wpa-psk <my passphrase> I followed these instructions for the latest firmware at the think penguin help site for this adapter: cd /lib/firmware wget https://www.thinkpenguin.com/files/ath9k_firmware_free-version/htc_9271.fw wget https://www.thinkpenguin.com/files/ath9k_firmware_free-version/htc_7010.fw rebooted the computer however..the adapter is still not connected this after ifup wlan0: # ifup wlan0 wpa_supplicant: /sbin/wpa_supplicant daemon failed to start run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant exited with return code 1 Failed to bring up wlan0. any suggestions to what might be missing here? The thinkpenquin wireless N USB adapter bears a remarkable resemblance to the Alfa wireless USB adapter: :-) https://tinyurl.com/n98oajh -- CK -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
