I've been using a Mediatek USB wi-fi adapter with a BBB for quite a while. In upgrading to the more-or-less latest Robert Nelson kernel, I can't get it to work.
It appears that there's now kernel support for the 7601 chipset - I see a driver module at */lib/modules/4.4.21-ti-r47/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt7601u/mt7601u.ko* . I've also placed the data file from my earlier install at */etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat* per discussions here. The mt7601u module is loading, but I don't see the expected wlan0 (or ra0) device: *root@vesta:/usr/local/vesta# lsmod | grep 7601* *mt7601u 75648 0 * *mac80211 487050 1 mt7601u* *cfg80211 418909 2 mac80211,mt7601u* *root@vesta:/usr/local/vesta# iwconfig * *lo no wireless extensions.* *eth0 no wireless extensions.* *usb0 no wireless extensions.* I notice that wpa_supplicant is running with a different driver: */sbin/wpa_supplicant -s -B -P /run/wpa_supplicant.usb0.pid -i usb0 -D nl80211,wext -C /run/wpa_supplicant* What am I missing? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
