Install Mercury MW150US WIFI dongle on RPi

为什么80%的码农都做不了架构师？>>>   

The wifi dongle cannot be recognized by command lsusb and lsusb, found the chipset of MW150US is rtl8188eu, not rtl8192cu, it is very important.

My RPi kernel is 3.2.27+, it is need to compile module rtl8188eu with RPi source code.

Procedure as below

# apt-get install build-essential
#
# cd /usr/src
# wget -O rpi-3.2.27.tar.gz https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tarball/rpi-3.2.27
# tar xzf ./rpi-3.2.27.tar.gz
# KVER=`uname -r`
# mv raspberrypi-linux-* linux-$KVER
# cd linux-$KVER/
# sed -i 's/EXTRAVERSION =.*/EXTRAVERSION = +/' Makefile
# zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
# wget https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/raw/master/extra/Module.symvers
# make oldconfig
# make modules_prepare
# ln -s /usr/src/linux-$KVER /usr/src/linux
# ln -s /usr/src/linux-$KVER /lib/modules/$KVER/source
# ln -s /usr/src/linux-$KVER /lib/modules/$KVER/build

Get rtl8188eu source code from http://gutspot.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/8188eu_USB_linux.zip
unzip the file and go to directory driver

# make && make install

In my case, it's all. The module rtl8188eu has been load into RPi, MW150US WIFI dongle can be recognized.

ifconfig -a
iwcofnig
iwlist wlan0 scan

If it does not work, try the following method,

# lsmod
# rmmod 8192cu
# insmod 8188eu.ko
# modprobe 8188eu
# modinfo 8188eu
for autoload in RPi
# echo "8188eu" >> /etc/modules
# echo "blacklist rtl8192cu" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf (not necessary)

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
# try one of below options
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
OR
pre-up wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B

sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

network={
ssid="YOUR-SSID"
scan_ssid=1
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk="WPA-PASSWORD" # wpa_passphrase
}

For reference

ssid:   your wifi name
scan_ssid:   value of 1 means broadcast and value of 2 means hidden (suggest you enter value of 1)
psk:   your wifi password
proto:   your choice of RSN or WPA. RSN is WP2 and WPA is WPA1. (most config is RSN)
key_mgmt:   your choice of WPA-PSK or WPA-EAP (pre-shared or enterprise respectively)
pairwise:   your choice of CCMP or TKIP ( WPA2 or WPA1 respectively)
auth_alg:   OPEN option is required for WPA and WPA2 (other option, SHARED & LEAP)

Then run

# /etc/init.d/networking restart
Or
# ifup wlan0

# dhclient wlan0

script for auto-start wifi connection(Optional)

/etc/init.d/wifi-connect
#!/bin/sh
#wifi-connect auto-start

case $1 in
start)
  wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext -s
  wpa_cli -B -p/var/lib/run/wpa_supplicant -s
 ;;
stop)
 
 ;;
restart)
 
 ;;
*)
 echo 'Usage:wifi-connect start|stop|restart'
 ;;
esac
exit 0

# chmod +x /etc/init.d/wifi-connect
# update-rc.d wifi-connect defaults
# update-rc.d -f wifi-connect remove

Install hostapd
1. unzip wpa_supplicant_hostapd-0.8_rtw_20120803.zip
go to directory hostapd and compile make && make install.
** should not ** start hostapd by /etc/init.d/hostapd start
just run /usr/local/bin/hostapd p2p_hostapd.conf -B
then hostapd started with ssid DIRECT-RT 

2. config IP address

ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 (the segment should be match with udhcp)

3. sudo apt-get udhcpd

run /etc/init.d/udhcp start

Open your mobile's wifi to search ssid "DIRECT-RT" and pair with it using pasword "12345678", it will obtain the IP adddress dynamically.
