[Solved] Help. No PirateBox Wlan

After the instalation of the raspberrypi image the PirateBox Wlan does not show up.

I used two different wifi adapters directly and with a powered hub. Even tried to search with no success for an inactivated service related to the issue.

The dongles were:
- Edup EP-N8508 (Realtek 802.11n WLAN Adapter)
- ZyDAS USB2.0 WLAN (Atheros)

Can anyone help me with this?

Try using one of the wifi adapters that are known to be working, listed here:
[piratebox.cc]

The Edup dongle uses the Realtek RTL8188CUS Chipset, have a look at this thread:
http://forum.piratebox.cc/read.php?7,11098
or this thread:
http://forum.piratebox.cc/read.php?7,11108

alternatively, ssh to your RPi and run

systemctl restart piratebox
systemctl status piratebox.service

or, just google "<your dongle> raspberry pi" or "<your dongles chipset> raspberry pi"

Good luck, I had a hard time with my wifi too, but it's running smoothly now, I hope the same for you ;-)

The driver was not installed and not even thought to look if it were.

pacman -S zd1211-firmware && reboot

Thank you for your help.
