ok, its using a Realtek RTL8192CU

a [quick search on google](https://www.google.es/search?q=rtl8192cu+linux+driver), shows countless people having troubles with this, and having to recompile the kernel with fixes to get it to work.

as you’ll see in my above thread , and also [this one](http://forum.critterandguitari.com/t/kernel-compilation/1609/8), we dont have access to the correct headers for the current build… so this is not really an option (and certainly not one Im personally willing to explore)

so unfortunately, my only suggestions are wait for the new OS (assuming we get there ) , and get another wifi stick as per recommendation in the meantime… which costs \< $10 😉
