Recently I’ve been configuring Raspberry Pi B+ for Wireless connection. I’ve configured everything in:
/etc/network/interfaces and
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
I was trying to connect to hidden network, but without success.
In Raspberry I installed additional WiFi dongle – TP Link TL-WN725N, adapter was successfully recognized as wlan0 interface without any problem, I was also able to scan wireless networks around me – great but why I can’t connect to my network? 🙁
After some time of research, I found this topic:

Raspbian has drivers for WiFi adapter but in my case TP Link adapter was in version V2, so additional drivers are required for working properly. Thanks to MrEngman post I was able to download additional drivers ( I’ve created also backup of this script ) – you can find it here:

To install this on you Raspberry Pi type:
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80256631/install-wifi.tar.gz tar xzf install-wifi.tar.gz
Then run:
./install-wifi
To find out more options of this script run command
./install-wifi -h
After installation reboot your raspberry and everything should works fine 🙂
