stuck @ the loading firmware stage once you try to UP the wlan0 interface ...
Still no luck? I'm having a new go with Open Pli but still has this problem. I'm using the Realtek RTL8192CU Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter aka the official Vu+ wireless usb dongle
The VU+ Wifi dongle comes with a software for Linux in the form of a tar.gz but I have no idea how to install that using OpenPLi
