So I bought the Edimax EW-7811Un 150Mbps Wireless 802.11n USB nano adapter because Jetson/Network Adapters - eLinux.org said it was tested successfully. I downloaded the driver and copied where instructed but it does not ever load the driver. USB is recognizing it from what I can see from dmesg.
So is anyone getting any wifi to work?
Thanks
Sorry to hear it. Personally I’m not wasting another dime/minute on this TK1 board until a working intel 7260 driver is posted and I can get it online. I was excited about learning cuda parallel programming and doing machine learning algorithms on this board. Now it just collects dust.
I am not entirely sure what ‘the driver’ is good for. It’s basically about downloading the firmware, which is already present in linux-firmware package.
Edimax EW-7811Un 150Mbps Wireless 802.11n USB nano adapter works rock-solid on my Raspberry Pi, but raspbian has the driver built-in. Mine is based on Realtek RTL8188CUS chip.
I have purchased another Wireless USB mini adapter before Edimax, but it was consuming too much power - not suitable for Raspberry Pi, with its limited power budget. It shows up as Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8192CU 802.11n WLAN Adapter.
We have a very nice tutorial on how to build kernel modules here. Could it be made sticky?
I’ve built kernel module for RTL8192CU on L4T 19.3 according to the above tutorial’s instructions, but with some deviations.
Wireless is working for me on Jetson TK1 quite well. A very few disconnects, with immediate reconnect. What’s not working, is iwconfig and the others iw*, with exception for iw.
I’ve installed kernel sources, as instructed by Tegra_Linux_Driver_Package_Documents_R19.3.tar. I didn’t manage to use git commands directly, but source_sync.sh -k did the job.
What happened after obtaining the kernel sources is as follows. /home/ubuntu/Downloads is mounted to an SD card. Jetson TK1’s eMMC might not have enough space to play with the kernel/module builds. And yes, Realtek RTL8188CUS and RTL8192CU are being handled by the same piece of code: Device Drivers / Network device support / Wireless LAN:

Any wifi progress?
Hello Guys,
I’m new on Jetson, but other I know other e-linux based solutions, don’t give it up! E-linux (on BBB) works with some usb dongles ( I tried TPlink 150mbps), but from console it is not straight forward setup. It takes me always at least 2-3 days to set it up properly.
Second option is to setup connection via some minipci-e card.
I must be doing something basic wrong because it looks like the driver is not attempting to load.
I don’t have a lot of time to mess with it too much at this point.
I am not entirely sure what ‘the driver’ is good for. It’s basically about downloading the firmware, which is already present in linux-firmware package.

Yes I have gotten it to work - you will need to do like above and compile the modules, then you will need to re-flash from a Linux machine with the TK1 connected via the usb.
By works I mean I can connect to a wireless network, but I can’t do any channel scanning or anything fancy. Still not sure why.
Okay, I’ve got to the bottom of the issue. Wireless Extensions aren’t enabled in stock kernel. There is no point to enable them during driver compilation.
The only three things to change in make menuconfig are:
General setup / Local version - append to kernel release
-gf455cd4
Device Drivers / Network device support / Wireless LAN
Realtek wireless card support
Realtek RTL8192CU/RTL8188CU USB Wireless Network Adapter
Strangely enough, mac80211.ko and cfg80211.ko are different from the ones in stock kernel. This time I am replacing these two modules too. I know, it’s cheating, because my kernel zImage is different from the stock one.
The result - stable driver for Realtek RTL8188CUS / RTL8192CU chipset, but without support for Wireless Extensions. Please, feel free to give it a try (rtl8192cu.ko.tbz2)!
I am a bit too lazy to re-compile the whole kernel and re-flash it. My field notes are as follows. NB This time the field notes reflect a better order of commands. Please, ignore the previous notes!
PS. The version of the driver included into the stock kernel sources is severely outdated. Raspberry Pi, when it was at kernel version 3.10, was using native Realtek driver v4.0.2_9000 with some patches. Apparently this driver cannot work without Wireless Extensions.
PPS. I wonder if NVIDIA Jetson TK1 developers are reading this forum ;o).

Got the EDIMAX working too (on 19.3). Used pretty much the same procedure as described…
Currently, the easiest method to use Wifi on Jetson TK1 is to install the user-supplied “Grinch” kernel at [url][CustomKernel] The Grinch 19.3.8 for Jetson TK1 / developed - Jetson TK1 - NVIDIA Developer Forums. It has support for many Wifi devices.
As here you have showed the good connection of Edimax usb nano with wifi. For this purpose Edimax drivers help out so well. Here is the best source to download it. Therefore, after coming this post this will be really good one.
