    @Vulga: My EW-7811UN arrived this morning – you just gotta love Amazon Prime! I shut down my Pi, plugged it in, restarted and PiPlay shows me an IP address! Magic! It must have picked up the wifi details from when the TP Link was working (before I installed the custom Kernel.

    Couldn’t have been any more painless than that. Thanks!

    Thanks again – might just have to pop one in my Amazon cart :-)

    Thanks Vulga. Does that have native support in Raspbian? I.e. you don’t have to download drivers specially for it?

    I’m thinking that it’s not going to be the end of the world if I have to shell out €10 for a different wifi adapter.

    Can anyone recommend one that should work out of the box and which I wouldn’t have to download special drivers for?

    Thanks

    Many thanks!

    I’m not sure the issue it with the age of your Kernel. I believe the original Raspian version before I installed your customer Kernel (0818) was 3.18.7-v7+ #755 which I think is older.

    I believe the TP W725N driver module has to be compiled specifically for each Kernel version but I’m not sure. You can see this thread for the instructions on how to choose and install the correct driver module :

    https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=62371&hilit=wn725n

    Perhaps you could advise me which Pi2 driver I should install?

    Thanks again!

    Hi!

    Thanks for this custom kernel – it fixed the problem with my Xin-Mo. However it broke my wifi. I’m using a TP Link W725N. You have to download and install the drivers manually for your specific Kernel as described here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=62371&hilit=wn725n

    So when I install your Kernel (0816) the WIFI adapter isn’t recognized any more. Doing a uname -a I get: 3.18.9-v7+ #5.

    So I downloaded the TP Link drivers most closely matching this i.e.:

    3.18.9-v7+ #767, #768 – 8188eu-v7-20150307.tar.gz
    3.18.9-v7+ #772 – 8188eu-v7-20150307.tar.gz

    However this doesn’t work.

    Do you have any suggestion as to how I could get my Xin-mo and TP Link W725N working together?

    Many thanks in advance
