Lubuntu Desktop/Sever Wifi Configuration
Abstract
- This tutorials is about Lubuntu Desktop/sever wifi configuration on CB1、CB2 and CB3(Cubietruck).
- Cubieboard1 and Cubieboard2 Lubuntu Desktop/sever USB WLAN card driver module:8188eu and 8192eu.
- Cubietruck support Wifi wireless connection with antenna on-board,driver module is bcmdhd.
- " Mw150us + 8188eu" USB WLAN card was tested on CB1 and CB2 on Desktop/sever.
Cubieboard Lubuntu Sever
Install wifi tool:apt-get install wifi-radar,then ,rebooting CB1 and CB2 only with USB WLAN card ,rebooting CT without network Cable,it will take a few minutes.
1.Install wifi-radar
apt-get install wifi-radar
Rebooting you can see this

2.1 Modprobe CB1 and CB2 module
root@cubieboard:~# modprobe 8188eu root@cubieboard:~# lsmod Module Size Used by 8188eu 495500 0 mali 108013 0 ump 51144 1 mali lcd 3701 0 pwm_sunxi 9110 0 gpio_sunxi 8204 0
2.2 Modprobe CT module
root@cubietruck:~# modprobe bcmdhd root@cubietruck:~# root@cubietruck:~# lsmod Module Size Used by bcmdhd 497543 0 mali 110767 0 ump 51819 1 mali lcd 3778 0 sunxi_gmac 30667 0 pwm_sunxi 9251 0
3.Scan wifi
root@cubieboard:~# ifconfig wlan0 up

root@cubieboard:~#
root@cubieboard:~#
root@cubieboard:~# ifconfig wlan0 up
root@cubieboard:~#
root@cubieboard:~# iwlist wlan0 scan

5.Geting your WLAN IP,if you can`t go on after "dhclient wlan0",please reboot and do the previous 1-4 steps again
root@cubieboard:~# dhclient wlan0
root@cubieboard:~#
root@cubieboard:~#
root@cubieboard:~# ifconfig
