I don't know if anyone on the list has had experience with Picuntu, but I guess it's worth a try.
Picuntu is a version of Ubuntu for the MK802 series of mini-computers. These devices come with Android pre-installed, but Linux can also be installed on a microSD card. In my case I have the MK802IIIs and there is a known problem that the WiFi chipset is not supported, so I'm trying to set it up to use a supported USB to LAN dongle and of course I have to add the appropriate driver for the ASIX chipset. Here's a short summary of my problem (I didn't find any help on a Picuntu forum I follow). I installed picuntu-linuxroot-0.9-RC3.tgz on my MK802IIIs. This is a bare-bones version and to continue installing packages you must connect to the Internet. But, as I wrote there's no WiFi so I need the ASIX dongle. The asix driver exists: total 124 drwxrwxr-x 2 1000 1000 4096 Dec 4 2012 ./ drwxrwxr-x 4 1000 1000 4096 Dec 4 2012 ../ -rw-rw-r-- 1 1000 1000 53018 Dec 4 2012 asix.ko -rw-rw-r-- 1 1000 1000 11868 Dec 4 2012 dm9601.ko -rw-rw-r-- 1 1000 1000 10611 Dec 4 2012 mcs7830.ko -rw-rw-r-- 1 1000 1000 19695 Dec 4 2012 smsc75xx.ko -rw-rw-r-- 1 1000 1000 18904 Dec 4 2012 smsc95xx.ko The hardware is recognized (here's dmesg output) usb 1-1: new high speed USB device number 3 using usb20_otg usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0b95, idProduct=772a usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-1: Product: AX88x72A usb 1-1: Manufacturer: ASIX Elec.

Is it possible that there is a script somewhere using the wrong name? And how do I find and fix it? BTW - when I try lsmod or cat /proc/modules I get no output. I don't understand this. BTW - I also have a dm9601 dongle - same problem. -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Sent by Claws Mail 3.9.0 - KDE 4.10.2 - LINUX Mageia 3 _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
