I have one of this on Zgemma H5 OpenPli 7, but it does recognise the USB, any advise what driver module to download?

Thanks

[WanWizard]

The kernel config suggests it may be supported by the Ralink RT2800 USB driver.

[Search40]

OK, i will try that.

[Search40]

But is nothing there, any advise were to find this?, thanks.

[Search40]

I found this on modules, installed still nothing.

[Search40]

Is not working, tested with other images is well nothing, this USB works on all other boxes not enigma 2 like, Amiko, Edision etc, do not understand why not working on Zgemma H5, will this chip works:RTL8192EU thinking to buy one of this?

[WanWizard]

I don't have an H5 handy, but the H3 has these drivers available:

kernel-module-r8188eu - 4.10.12-.1.1 - r8188eu kernel module  r8188eu kernel module; Realtek Wireless Lan Driver
kernel-module-r8712u - 4.10.12-.1.1 - r8712u kernel module  r8712u kernel module; rtl871x wireless lan driver
kernel-module-rt2500usb - 4.10.12-.1.1 - rt2500usb kernel module  rt2500usb kernel module; Ralink RT2500 USB
kernel-module-rt2800lib - 4.10.12-.1.1 - rt2800lib kernel module  rt2800lib kernel module; Ralink RT2800 library
kernel-module-rt2800usb - 4.10.12-.1.1 - rt2800usb kernel module  rt2800usb kernel module; Ralink RT2800 USB
kernel-module-rt2x00lib - 4.10.12-.1.1 - rt2x00lib kernel module  rt2x00lib kernel module; rt2x00 library
kernel-module-rt2x00usb - 4.10.12-.1.1 - rt2x00usb kernel module  rt2x00usb kernel module; rt2x00 usb library
kernel-module-rt73usb - 4.10.12-.1.1 - rt73usb kernel module  rt73usb kernel module; Ralink RT73 USB Wireless
kernel-module-rtl-usb - 4.10.12-.1.1 - rtl-usb kernel module  rtl-usb kernel module; USB basic driver for rtlwifi
kernel-module-rtl8187 - 4.10.12-.1.1 - rtl8187 kernel module  rtl8187 kernel module; RTL8187/RTL8187B USB
kernel-module-rtl8192c-common - 4.10.12-.1.1 - rtl8192c-common kernel module  rtl8192c-common kernel module; Realtek
kernel-module-rtl8192cu - 4.10.12-.1.1 - rtl8192cu kernel module  rtl8192cu kernel module; Realtek 8192C/8188C
kernel-module-rtl8xxxu - 4.10.12-.1.1 - rtl8xxxu kernel module  rtl8xxxu kernel module; RTL8XXXu USB mac80211
kernel-module-rtlwifi - 4.10.12-.1.1 - rtlwifi kernel module  rtlwifi kernel module; Realtek 802.11n PCI

so no rtl8192eu driver. It is on the todo list, but the one we have doesn't compile for the kernel version zgemma uses...

I see, do you have any plans in the future to make RT5370 work on Zgemma H5, or this is done by Zgemma is not in your hands?

[WanWizard]

We don't have any plans, adding and maintaining non-kernel wifi drivers for 70+ images with a huge variety in kernel versions can easily be someone's dayjob.

 

We don't have that time available, if you want a wifi connection, use either a wifi bridge, or do some research and buy a stick with a compatible chipset.

Did not they just forget about the restructuring?

It is basically available.

According to the kernel database, the RT3270 has expiremental support in the RT2800_USB driver through the "CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT53XX" switch, which is enabled in the zgemma config.
 
So installing kernel-module-rt2800usb should do the trick.

[Search40]

When I click on module RT2800_USB it says: No packages installed or removed, so maybe something is wrong there, does this mean the module is installed ready, or missing or what?

Thanks

[Search40]

Driver for RT5370 is RT3070 not RT3270, tested with Openatv they have the driver RT3070 on feeds did  not work, here is video, he says it works, I tried this did not work for me:

Not sure what you "clicked" on.

 

OpenPLi doesn't have stub packages (yet) for drivers like OpenATV does, so you need to install drivers and firmware manually.

[Search40]

Now on Openpli 7 is new feature, when you click on plugins there are modules there, and the module RT2800_Lib and USB is there, so i assume is installed, but the USB not working, i tried manually the driver still nothing, I think maybe is problem with Zgemma Drivers?

[WanWizard]

It's a quick fix pending a rewrite of the plugins menu code, and it only installs the kernel module, not the also required firmware. Which doesn't look like it's being build...

[WanWizard]

It could be that you need to install both kernel-module-rt2800lib and kernel-module-rt2800usb.

 

edit: from what I can see it uses the rt2870.bin firmware, and that should be available in /lib/firmware.

It is not working, i did all kind of tricks, on my Laptop windows 10 works very well, just to say that USB is fine, do not know, I maybe give up, waiting for something in the future from Openpli, with updates etc!

[WanWizard]

I doubt it, as it is a kernel driver, we don't do anything with it. Also, we don't have the hardware, so we can't test and check anything.

 

Can you disconnect the stick from the box, reboot it, then telnet into the box and type

dmesg -c

then plug in the stick, type

dmesg

and post the result here?

 

Maybe that gives an indication of what goes wrong.

I bought one of these for my neighbours Zgemma H3 and he shares my guest wifi with no problem. I fact you dont have to install anything it works straight ot of the packet. It also has a blue staus led.
