Hi
my new USB WLAN Stick: TP Link - TL-WN821N V3 did not work with actual standard OpenPLI Image installation. (XTrend ET6000)
(chipset AR9287/AR7010)
after many hours to find the right chipset driver, i got the solution... (thx to vu+ support forum)
there are some steps todo:
open a telnet session to your STB then call:
opkg update
opkg install kernel-module-ath9k
Now you have to download missing firmware driver htc_7010.fw from:
http://linuxwireless...1.3/htc_7010.fw
copy with FTP htc_7010.fw to your STB to: /lib/firmware
telnet: chmode 664 /lib/firmware/htc_7010.fw
plugin WLAN stick and restart your STB.
i hope this will help others...
@PLI Team
maybe you can put htc_7010.fw to the online feed... (like firmware-htc9271 - 1.0-r0 - Firmware for HTC9271 )

actually, the kernel-module-ath9k should not be needed for your device.
The firmware you mention, htc_7010.fw, is used by the kernel-module-ath9k-htc driver, which is installed in the image by default.
So it seems you were misinformed by the vu+ support forum
Anyway, glad to see you got it working.
The firmware should have been in the image by default as well, but it seems it was missing.
I just fixed that.

i had some problem to figure out which stick (chip) version i have... (v1, v3,...)
but in this case this link was really useful:
http://wiki.ubuntuus.../Karten#TP-Link
--> in my case "Atheros HTC"
now i know, i do only need the kernel-module-ath9k-htc modul... but if nothing is working... i thougt it's better to install more then less...
