I bought a wifi card with chipset RTL8192EU

I did menu - Plugins - Software Management - Advanced Options - Packet Management and I installed the firmware packages-RTL8192EU and kernel-module-RTL8192EU and also I found a RTL8192EU driver and I installed it, then I restarted the box

but the wifi key does not work

I tried this method with Vu + Solo 2 and Zero 4k but nothing to work

help me please

Pease login to your box with telnet, issue the commands "lsusb" and "lsmod", and post the output here.

 

Also, which OpenPLi version?

[Dreamshow]

i use openpli 7.1 release

 

for solo2

I see two different things.

 

The solo2 lists ID "0bda:b720", which is an RTL8723BU. And the zero4k lists ID "0a05:7211", which is an USB hub.

 

So in neither of them I see the wifi stick you mention?

[Dreamshow]

I installed the wifi key on zero 4k and I restarted the receiver and that's what it gives me to dcc

 

j'ai installé la clé wifi sur zero 4k et j'ai redémaré le récépteur et ça ce qu'il ma donne au dcc

I installed the wifi key on pc and it works well

 

j'ai installé la clé wifi sur pc et il fonctionne bien

[WanWizard]

Now I see USB ID "148f:7601", which is also not an RTL8192EU, but a Ralink MT7601U. A driver for that chipset should be in the feeds too.

That is because Windows installs a ton of drivers by default, which we can't, most of the boxes have limited space available, so we don't install packages virtually nobody will use.

[Dreamshow]

what should I do now to make it work ?

[Erik Slagter]

Buy a decent wlan USB stick with official support in the Linux kernel or use a wireless bridge.

I bought it from AliExpress with a description RTL8192EU and I found many others with the same designates and the same description

good
I found the firmware MT7601U but I do not find the kernel MT7601U and it does not work

Usual problem with cheap chinese junk. You never know what you get delivered.

 

A quick look in the feeds shows the kernel driver is only built for boxes with a recent 4.x kernel, and VU+ is still stuck on an old 3.x kernel. The Linux kernel database confims that: https://cateee.net/l...db/MT7601U.html, only from 4.2-4 onwards.
 
I have have a look and see if we can build it out of tree and add it to the next release, but no guarantees about it's success, out of tree drivers are notoriously difficult to build consistently...

I'm not a developer so I do not understand what you want to explain to me

if you can help me to install it is very nice of you

if I can not install it on the receiver indicated me what chipset can i buy of https://aliexpress.com to work well with vu + without problem ?

 

je ne suis pas un développeur donc je ne comprends rien de ce que tu veux m'expliquer

si tu peux m'aider pour l'installer c'est très gentille de vous 

si je peux pas l'installer sur le récépteur indiqués moi quel chipset je peux acheter de https://aliexpress.com pour fonctionner bien avec vu+ sans problème ?

[Dreamshow]

that's what I bought

Drivers that are part of the linux kernel can be build without problems, a matter of enabling it in de kernel configuration.

 

Drivers that are not (called "out of tree") need to be manually integrated, which is a hell of a job, since you need to deal with all the different kernel versions and create patches for those, and make sure it doesn't build for kernel versions where the driver is already included.

 

Which is why you often see the advice to check first what is supported, and then buy the stick, and not the other way around. An embedded Linux system is not a Windows PC, you can't just buy something, plug it in, and expect it to work...

[WanWizard]

Can you try installing these, on the VU Zero 4K?

[Dreamshow]

is it to install with USB ?

[Dreamshow]

how can i know if it is compatible or not you ?

can you help me please to buy at AliExpress usb wifi with 300m speed compatible with Openpli 7.1

[WanWizard]

Yes, download them, put them on a FAT formatted USB stick, plug the stick in, and it should prompt you. After installation, restart the box.

 

If it works you should see a WLAN interface in the network setup.
