[Nix-dev] Installing wireless drivers

[Raahul Kumar]

The wireless woes continue. My TPlink TL-Wn821N shows up in lsusb, and lsmod,
but not elsewhere. I don't see it in iwlist.

lsusb
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

TL-WN821N v2 / TL-WN822N v1 802.11n [Atheros AR9170]

lsmod

lsmod

Nor in the WICD gui. I can post Dmesg logs if that helps.

Aloha,
