Hello everybody,
I installed openwrt 14.07rc3 on rpi model B and it works without any problems. I tried attaching USB tplink wn723n (8188eu) and it is not recognized by the system. Since I am not that much experienced with owrt system could someone point me to some manual or just tell me how to get this dongle working?
lsusb says "0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp."
and in /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices says "driver=(none)".
Thanks.

test471,
I'm seeing the same behaviour with a no-name RT5370 USB adapter. The required driver, rt2800usb, is installed. OpenWrt simply doesn't recognise the adapter. For what it's worth, lsusb says "148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter".
The USB adapter works flawlessly with Raspbian and on a PC thinclient running Debian Wheezy.
It sort of defeats the purpose of OpenWrt on RPi if WLAN can't be made to work.

have you install kmod-rt2800-lib?

Hi, I have the same adapter but nothing works like on your screen. It simply can't detect wifis 
Which steps did you do to make it work?
