Hello supportteam,
i need help getting my edimax ac600 wlan stick to work on a raspberry pi B+.
After activating the Load WiFi Interface in the WiFi & Network configuration tab i get the folowing messageDebug: Saving WPA-Supplicant (Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant Could not read interface wlan0 flags: No such device WEXT: Could not set interface ‚wlan0‘ UP wlan0: Failed to initialize driver interface )
Data saved
Status: WiFi USB adapter status is not active. WiFi connection status is not active
(Only WPA/WPA2-Encryption possible)I assumed WLAN is a premium feature so i bought the 5-years-licence and activated it.
But after rebooting i get the same error message. There is no wlan0 device, which is surprising as max2play sells a edimax wlan dongle in the shop and guaranties it to work. I understand it is not the same device but the wlan chip ist commonly used with the rasppberry pi and should be supported.
Here are some infos from my setuproot@max2play1-rp1:/home/pi# uname -a

The issue can occur with insufficient power. If you have a power supply with less than 2.5A, please make sure no other periphery is connected (the other USB devices suck power as well) and try using one with 2.5A if possible.
Also to make sure the RPi3 WiFi setting is not impeding on your B+’s recognition, please make a tick at the disable build-in WiFi option in the Raspberry Settings.
I tested the stick and it was immediately recognized here.
