I set up Openwrt CHAOS CALMER on my Raspberry Pi 2. I plugged in a WiFi dongle that uses the RTL8192CU chipset (Link). I have been looking online and trying to install different packages to help correct the issue. When I plug in the dongle and boot Raspbian, it detects the dongle. After that, when I run ifconfig, the dongle comes up as wlan0.
But, when I look for wlan0 in Openwrt, it doesn't show up.
