Raspberry 2 Model B, D-Link DWA-171 (RTL8811AU) driver issue #73

Hi First of, this seems like a nice piece of work. And it is an interesting project. I just got my first Raspberry Pi 2, Mod B in order to run PiPass. I seem to be having issues with my Wi-Fi dongle tho. I used the pre-made image, but PiPass is shutting down due to driver issues with my Realtek based D-Link dongle.

How would I go about solving this issue? I don't have any experience with Raspberry's, and my history with Linux goes as deep as to running OpenOffice back in elementary school. Thank you for any input.

The RTL8811AU chipset is not directly supported and would require a modified hostapd driver. Look for a dongle with the RT5370 chipset, they are cheap and do not require any extra effort to get working.
