Edimax USB WiFi dongle?

Hello all,

I am trying to use the Edimax USB WiFi dongle with my DE0-Nano-Soc board. I have used this dongle on my Raspberry Pi boards, so I thought this would be compatible as well.

I am using a USB hub to share both the Bluetooth and Wifi dongles. Upon booting, the Nano-SoC does see the dongle but does not obtain an IP address. ifconfig doesn't show wlan0 in its configuration.

I have read in other Altera forums that a driver may be needed? I have used this interface "driveless" on my Raspberry Pi with no problems. Also, it appears that the /etc/network/interfaces file is configured correctly. Has anyone successfully use a USB WiFi adapter with their Nano-soc board?

Thanks in advance for the help...

Here is an excerpt of the boot process:
