Just purchased and set up Rasp Pi B+. No problem until I installed WiFi USB. Are the drivers on the mini-CD required (using Raspian)?

Nope they are not needed. What is exactly the issue you are having? Is the rasp pi restarting?

No cd required when using the raspberry pi recommended wifi usb. If using a different on then you'll need to load drivers and it still might not work.

Yes, if you install a wireless PCI card or wireless USB adapter. the USB adapter just plugs into a USB port. Install the drivers from the disk and your ready to go. Very easy.

With my Net Book w/windows XP I did not use the disk. I plugged the wireless into the usb and the computer recognized it and installed the software.

I'm using the Plugable 2.0 version that the manufacturer suggested above, and it's working like a charm for me, for what it's worth. Might save a couple of bucks since the Pi can't use USB 3.0, and get the same outcome otherwise.

Hi, You can use the mini CD which containing drivers and software. In reality the softwares are old and only for XP. In reality you can use softwares given by IPCAS, i let you search on the web... Regards

There is no disc or drivers needed. It's all about Bluetooth and the process to get it to work with whatever operating system you'll use.

Yup. Just plug it in and you'll see it show up as /dev/ttyUSB0 (or something similar). I use ckermit to connect to it. No drivers or anything else needed.

The disk that came with mine had only Windows drivers. The pertinent question is what is the chipset used in this Bluetooth device, because Linux drivers will be written to the chipset, not to the brand name on the outside of the device. The device looks like a Broadcom BMC20702 device to Windows, so I would look for drivers for that device. That does not directly answer the question but it is the best I can do.

yes, the computer assigns the drivers for the device, not the device itself. No need for a cd either, just remember this is a 2.0 USB device not the newer USB 3.0

most likely.i need to know what kind of dongle you have in mind.i did use a dongle on mine to get connected with mine in order to download the needed drivers for the internal wifi card.

It should with the correct driver. Most WiFi adapters come with a disk or a website to download it. Hope this helps

I could compile the drivers for the EW-7811UTC by following this article on www raspberrypi org forums viewtopic.php?f=28&t;=102323. EW-7811UTC works on my Raspberry pi2.

Works on Raspian: I'm using it with raspian for the raspberry pi Model B+ and in the raspian bluetooth device connection setup, it asks me for for a code, I just choose random, and then it waits. The screen then asks if I want to serial connect. I select "Yes" then it's connected. I'm doing this with ipega 9017 BT controllers and wiimotes.

Yes, works great, no extra drivers req if you are using the stock image of pi.

I used instruction to installed and it was very clear what to do there. First you use installation CD and then you will be promoted to connect wifi adapter to one of your USB ports. After that you have to find your wireless network and enter the name of your network and password. And yes using this device solved my bad wireless connection problem. Good luck.

i would think it would find it right away. i have a raspberry pi b+ and it was successful there( just tested 1/11/2015 ). so i don't see any reason it would not work. :-)
