usb wifi dongle not recognized
I ordered this Miniature WiFi (802.11b/g/n) Module: For Raspberry Pi and I have plugged it up to my pi and a buddies but it never shows up in wpa_gui in the adaptor. I have also plugged it into a couple of computers and windows never recognizes it either. I ordered it Nov 13. Link to the item: https://www.adafruit.com/products/814.

Re: usb wifi dongle not recognized
Just to do a quick check, what do you get from `lsusb` when the dongle is plugged in?

I found the problem. I was using a custom build from someone and a config wasn't setup. I installed OpenELEC and it found it right off the bat. Sorry for being a noob.

Nah, driver issues can be subtle.
Glad to hear it's working for you.
