Hi there,
I am running some Raspberries, one B+ and two B. The B+ with its 4 USBs works as it should, but both B models are behaving something strange.
As soon as I plug in a WLAN-USB-stick, it crashes and instantly starts a reboot. I tested this with two different sticks, one is called "VILROS" and was included in the B+ "starter package", and the other one is "Edimax", which show up in dmesg as follows:
[1001 dimke@linuxnb3 ~]$ dmesg | tail -f usb 7-2: Product: 802.11n WLAN Adapter usb 7-2: Manufacturer: Realtek usb 7-2: SerialNumber: 00e04c000001 usb 7-2: USB disconnect, device number 9 usb 7-2: new high speed USB device number 10 using ehci_hcd usb 7-2: New USB device found, idVendor=7392, idProduct=7811 usb 7-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 7-2: Product: 802.11n WLAN Adapter usb 7-2: Manufacturer: Realtek usb 7-2: SerialNumber: 00e04c000001I tested it on both B models and with both USB ports each.
Is this a know issue, or may this be related to the fact, that my B+ model is made in England and packed by Vilros / US, and the Bs are both made in China?
Additionally, when pluggin the Wifi stick in before booting, it will connect to the WLAN, but the data throughput is horribly slow -- it's around 8 MBit/sec.
Any info highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Markus
