Hi,

it's been a week now that i'm trying to make my wifi stick ( Realtek rtl8822bu ) work with my Vu+ uno 4kSE

i've found and installed the driver (enigma2-plugin-drivers-network-usb-rtl88x2bu) but no luck the box doesn't recognize the stick.

I saw on a thread that someone had a similar issue with a another realtek chipset stick and solved it by installing both a driver and a kernel module

So i wonder if someone could post a kernel module for that chipset suitable for my Vu+ uno 4k SE

 

Thanks in advance

if possible log in the box with putty or telnet and check with command "lsusb" which USB devices are connected.

Maybe your stick has  a newer ID which isn't recognized by the driver yet.

 

With command "dmesg" you can get a log which probably informs if you miss something.

 

To check if the driver is loaded use command "lsmod" if good you see in the list something like rtl8822

Which OpenPLi, as there are quite a few changes in 7.2-rc, when it comes to wifi drivers.

 

I don't know what "enigma2-plugin-drivers-network-usb-rtl88x2bu", we don't have packages for wifi drivers yet.

 

On 7.2-rc you need "kernel-module-88x2bu". I don't have a 7.1-release handy to check what it is called there.

Hi,

 

Actually i'm using Openpli 6.2 which is very stable with my vu+, and i would like to keep it,

 

the driver i installed was intended to be used on an openatv image, although it installed without errors on my openpli.

 

could you show me where i can find "kernel-module-88x2bu" for openpli 6.2

That doesn't work, those packages in OpenATV are meta packages, they don't contain anything, they are just there to create dependencies to driver packages that aren't visible in the plugin list.

 

There is no support for the rtl8822 in OpenPLi 6.2, it is only available as of OpenPLi 7.2.

Thank you very much for your help

So the only way to get it work is to move to openpli 7.2?

Or backport the recipes and compile your own drivers. Or find someone else that does that for you. Or find some other distro that has them, and uses the same OE and kernel version than we do.

 

We only maintain the current release (which is 7.x at the moment), and will stop updating 6.x all together when we release OpenPLi 8.

ok, i see that there are only RC releases for the 7.2, what do you think if i install the 7.1

is the driver included in this version? 

[WanWizard]

No, it is only available in 7.2, I've added it only weeks ago.

[betacentauri]

If you can wait, wait until 7.2 was released. When you install 7.2rc, you will need to flash it again to get 7.2.

[twol]

You could try this driver (attached zipped ko)->>> lib/modules/x.x.xx-x.x/kernel/drivers/net/wireless - will either work ... or not.

@twol

i copied your file but unfortunately it didn't work 

 

@WanWizard

I decided to go for the 7.2rc version as you advised, but i couldn't get the "kernel-module-88x2bu" installed

could you please tell me how?

[mrvica]

after you copy it to that loaction you have to do  depmod in Telnet  than restart your box

[WanWizard]

No need, it is in the feed.

 

Either do

opkg install kernel-module-88x2bu

or start the Software Management plugin, go to Advanced, Package Management and install it from there.

[mrvica]

I have here RTL8188RU, pretty stubborn that thing, in Win works just fine, when you do ifconfig do you have wlan0 at all, if so you may change /etc/network/ineterfaces, extend the -D option with wext, it may help

-Dnl80211,wext

restart the box

[mehdi911]

Thank you all

the solution given by WanWizard worked

i just want to add that the driver is also available in the feed of the openpli 7.1

i installed it and my stick is now working like it should.

[WanWizard]

Thanks for the feedback !

[rafjak]

I have tp-link Archer T4U with RTL 8822bu. How to run it on Vu+ uno 4k SE.

I have kernel-module-88x2bu installed.

[WanWizard]

If it is not detected, what is the USB id? (check the output of the lsusb command).

[rafjak]

It is detected as

 

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 2357:0115
 

But I can not see it in network properties.
