Hello friends, I bought a new satellite, Atlanta xtrend et 9000, I have an mt7601 wifi antenna, my device does not recognize it,What should I do? I don't have cable internet. Where can I find the driver for the device with openpli 8.1 installed?

[WanWizard]

First question is, what kind of clone box is this, and how compatible is it? Xtrend has seized trading many years ago, and the BCM8413 is a very old chip.

 

Secondly, the mt7601 source code we have requires linux kernel 4.0 or newer, and the original Xtrend ET9000 runs an ancient 3.8.7 kernel, so unless you can provide the compatibility patches or find compatible source somewhere, it isn't going to work.

[Aylargece]

In some forums it is written that the driver has been installed and introduced.

[WanWizard]

Then I assume some forums can also explain how you get it working?

[Aylargece]

Unfortunately, I don't know much about these issues, so what should I do?

Find another forum where your box is officially supported. OpenPLi is not building image for Atlanta boxes.

[WanWizard]

I did a quick check of the OpenPLi 8 feed, and assuming this box is a legal clone of the Xtrend ET9000 that runs an OpenPLi image, the driver for the MT7601 is in the feed

wanwizard@buildserver3 $ ls -l | grep 7601
-rw-r--r-- 1 build build    1644 Oct  3 20:35 kernel-module-mt7601usta_3.0.0.4-r0.4_et9x00.ipk

so an

opkg update
opkg kernel-module-mt7601usta

would install it (or use the software management plugin to do so using the remote).

I think the device must be connected to the internet in order to write these codes, but I do not have internet.

[WanWizard]

Yes, they are not preinstalled.

 

You can download it on a PC: http://downloads.ope...r0.4_et9x00.ipk.

 

Put it on a USB stick, and plugin that in. The box should show a popup on TV with the question if you want to install it.

thank you, let me try

Hi.

 

This probably won't work. After all, there are dependencies on other packages that must also be installed:

https://forums.openp...-2#entry1364216

 

And then there is the problem of possible compatibility. If, for example, the driver required a system library of a certain version, then this version may not be present on the OpenPLi firmware, which remained without an update for a long time.

 

Another possible problem may be that, for example, some devices with this chipset mt7601u, such as TENDA U2, immediately after inserting into the USB, they first contain a flash disk with an installer. That can be a problem. If the driver is already installed and if it works correctly, this flash drive must be ejected for WiFi USB chipset to work. If the driver is old, it cannot do this. For some devices, such as the mentioned TENDA U2 USB-WiFi-dongle, this is necessary. I made a shell script for this purpose, which is launched at startup together with Enigma . The flash drive will be automatically ejected from this TENDA U2 USB WIFi (mt7601u chipset):

Afraik the wirelesslan plugin is pre-installed, and the other two are the same package (better, one is a byproduct of the build and is empty).

 

I can't comment on the rest, apart from the fact such devices are a bloody pain, I have that issue constantly with 3G/4G dongles that I need in modem mode...

[Aylargece]

Even though I did everything, I couldn't get any results. I connected my laptop to the internet via the wifi network, connected it to the satellite via the laptop's ethernet port, and connected the device to the internet.

Now I have another problem with my oscam.

What did you do? What results were you expecting? What actually happened?

Hi !

 

Why should people be interested in the discussion that you have a problem ?

 

If you were to ask for advice ... and a solution to the problem, which of course you describe in detail ... then that's a different story :-).

I installed a lot of manual drivers, I installed the driver from the openpli store, the wifi panel comes and gives a green screen error.

Oscam is installed and working, there is also an Icam supported server, but Icam channels are not opening, is there a special setting for Icam.

[s3n0]

Unfortunately, I don't know German ICAM, so I can't advise, but it definitely requires some ICAM-specific setup. If the configuration files are not included in the IPK installer, try to get the configuration files for ICAM Oscam somewhere.

 

As for the malfunctioning of the driver... as I already wrote... there are more things that may not fit. Try to check what linux kernel your OpenPLi is using, as @WanWizard wrote. For example... in terminal... via the command:

uname -a

Maybe this driver is unsuitable. But there are certainly other dependencies, e.g. on system libraries. If the system libraries are outdated or incompatible, the driver may not work properly.

 

As for the death screen, a crash log file should be created automatically. So connect via FTP to your set top box and download the crashlog file from it.

... gives a green screen error.

 

in which case there is a debuglog file on the box. Please zip and attach it here, so we can have a look.
