After upgrading my Raspberry Pi Wheezy to the latest kernel 3.2.27+, my wireless adapter EW-7811Un stopped working.
Here's the fix:
su - root
mkdir ~/drivers
cd ~/drivers
wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/80256631/8192cu-latest.tar.gz
tar zxvf 8192cu-latest.tar.gz
cd 8192cu-latest
install -p -m 644 8192cu.ko /lib/modules/3.2.27+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
depmod -a
cat <<EOF >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
blacklist rtl8192cu
EOF
cat <<EOF >> /etc/modules
8192cu
EOF
shutdown -r now
After reboot you should have wlan0. You may need to configure your wireless network if you didn't so already, by editing /etc/network/interface. Recommended that you use wpa_passphrase to generate your encrypted wifi password:
wpa_passphrase mywirelessnetwork_SSID
Then edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
, using the output of wpa_passphrase:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="mywirelessnetwork_SSID"
scan_ssid=1
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
psk=.......
}
And lastly:
cat <<EOF >> /etc/network/interfaces
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
pre-up wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
EOF
Now enjoy the WiFi back on your Pi again.
Thanks to Wolf Paulus, who solved the problem with Kernel 3.2.27+ and provided links for the compiled binaries.
