Can you connect the box for a few minutes via LAN cable to the internet? If yes, download the package via plugins -> softwaremanagement or connect via Telnet and use opkg to install the missing package.

[WanWizard]

Install it the same way you installed the kernel driver package.

[juancer]

I have the box connected via LAN to the internet, and I downloaded the kernel package via: software plugins -> management. But the problem is that later, I go to the drivers to download the MT7601U, but it is not in the list of drivers. That is why I cannot install it in the same way that I installed the kernel package.

 

I have never done the installation using "opkg". I will see if I can find out how it is done by searching the forum.

If this does not work, I will have to change the OpenPli image to another one that already has the drive included.

Thank you very much for the help

[WanWizard]

I have no idea what you are talking about.

 

There are two packages needed: kernel-module-mt7601u (the driver) and firmware-mt7601u (the adapter firmware).

 

You install them via Menu - Plugins - Software Management - Advanced options - Package Management:

I already have the "kernel-module-mt7601u" and the "firmware-mt7601u" installed (see photos 1 and 2).

But the problem is that the Wi-Fi connection option still does not come out.

(And in the list of drivers there is not the MT7601 driver (Photo 3)

[WanWizard]

I have no clue what you are on about. What "drtiver"? There are only two files, and the kernel-module-mt7601u IS the driver.

 

So there are now only two possitbilities: your device needs a different driver, or your device isn't supported by the driver (because it is newer than the kernel).

 

Both can be checked using the USB ID of your device. Log in with telnet, enter the command "lsusb", and post the result here.

This is the result:

148f:7601 is an MT7601U, alright.

 

Can do you unplug the device, then type the command:

dmesg -c

ignore the output, then plug the device back in, and type the command

dmesg

and post the output here?

 

Ideally via copy and paste, of a larger image, this one is very difficult to read.

 

And I also would like to see the result of

opkg list-installed | grep mt7601u

( p.s. use the "more reply options" button to attach images, it's better than using external sites )

[juancer]

 Here are both. Thank you

Another one:

I have tried to activate the driver by opkg. The console identifies the firm and the kernel-module, but "Couldn't find". And in the box there is no WLAN connection activation option. I do not understand. Please see the photo. Thank you.

[WanWizard]

It's logical it says "could not find", what gives you the idea a package with that name exists?

 

The problem you have is in the previous post, the driver crashes on load. If this is the official driver from the feed, and not something you installed from somewhere, then there's nothing we can do.

[juancer]

Ok, thank you.

The question that I do not understand is that I installed before another different image Open ..., which includes the MT7601 driver and it worked perfectly, without problem. So I'll have to go back to her. Thanks for your help.

[WanWizard]

Others my create their own BSP, we don't, we build whatever the manufacturer supplies.

 

OpenVision builds their driver out of tree from the looks of it, we can't do that, it will collide with the BSP kernel configuration.

install the openatv firmware ...... solve all the problems in a moment.

Hi, I have installed OpenPli 8.0  on VU+ Zero 4K. I would like to use USB Wi-Fi stick : Device USB\VID_148F&PID_7601\1.0 Firmware is installed, but I can not find kernel-module-mt7601-usta. I would be really thankful for your guidelines. 

[Frenske]

I happened to test a stick like this too on a H10 with the recent Nightly build and there it was recognized. Vu+ has a much older kernel if I recall right.

[WanWizard]

The name of the driver depends on whether is is supported by the kernel or not.

 

It is called "kernel-module-mt7601usta" for kernels that don't support it, "kernel-module-mt7601u" for kernels that do.

 

Also, don't forget to install "firmware-mt7601u" (in both cases).

[Aliraza63]

If  OpenPLi 8 Nightly build installed 

 

opkg update

opkg install firmware-mt7601u

opkg install kernel-module-mt7601usta

opkg install enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-wirelesslan

 

full reboot 

working fine at my side with Vu+ Solo2 and Uno4k

[Frenske]

@Aliraza63

 

Thanks for the information.

I will test this on some random boxes to test whether my budget WIFI stick will be recognized too.

[igreut]

Thank you for reply. There is no kernel-module-mt7601u in section packet management in VU+ Zero 4k. So, the question is where to find that file?
