The reason for the error is the fact that config.plugins.wlan is defined in plugin WirelessLan.

If you uninstall this plugin then config.plugins.wlan is no longer available

isWirelessInterface does not return information or the plugin is installed, so to prevent GSOD here, I think it would be correct to use hasattr(config.plugins, "wlan").

However, config.plugins.wlan is used in many places in NetworkSetup, so maybe we should dig deeper, to prevent such a problem everywhere in NetworkSetup if the WirelessLan plugin is uninstalled.

I personally hate such additional checks, because in my opinion it means that the code is not designed correctly from the beginning.

However, in this case, what do you think about the following fix: https://github.com/O...igma2/pull/3870

[Dimitrij]

 

WirelessLan plugin is uninstalled

 

And this?

		if iNetwork.isWirelessInterface(self.iface):
			from Plugins.SystemPlugins.WirelessLan.Wlan import wpaSupplicant

Thanks for pointing that, I missed it.

Hi,

 

Is it possible to add support for RTL8832AU chipset for WLan when using OpenPLi 9?

Still need the USB ID.

 

The fact that there is a driver for the chipset used (or even a mention of a chipset) doesn't say anything about whether or not that specific stick is supported, the driver needs a match on USB ID.

[DJWeed]

I am not sure about what You expect when asking me for USB ID. Can You explain, please? Please describe also how can I check USB ID of this hardware.

Only one USB device was connected to my box, RTL8832AU chipset USB WLAN card.

This is why I asked.

 

The 1d6b entries are all internal to the box. 0a5c:0bdc is an hub chip, 0a5c:2045 is the VU+ bluetooth device, and 0bda:1a2b is wifi dongle with a RTL8821CU chipset. For which a driver exists in the image. So not an 8832AU at all.

[DJWeed]

Maybe because of when installing this Wifi dongle first time in WIndows, first connection of this dongle is recognized as pendrive. Only when You install drivers after that is rocognizing as WLan card. Maybe if E2 driver for this chipsed will be added to image, maybe could be recognized properly as WLan card by the box.

Ah, it is one of those. A bloody pain in linux, you'll need to start fiddling with usb-modeswitch on the commandline to make stuff like that work.

 

It is most likely less effort to get a stick that works out of the box.

[DJWeed]

I do not insist on using this particular model of wireless USB network card. If you can recommend another one with WiFi 6 support and running directly on Enigma2, I will be grateful.

I have to pass that on, all boxes I use have built-in wifi that I use. I only have a few old USB2 11b/11g sticks I sometimes use for testing on boxes without built-in wifi.

 

Box used is also relevant, as for all linux kernel drivers, whether or not they are available depends on the kernel version used on the box (something we can't change), and some boxes really use an antique version.

 

It would be great if users could report what they use: box used, wifi stick brand, model, openpli version, driver used.

Hi, I have problem with update to this version.

I have VU+Duo. First and original receivers

But cant update via USB.

I do this via Backup plugin. But after restart, this receiver still show on display starting... and not boot 

 

This is a second receiver.

 

 

Please, can you advice me, how I can recover this two receiver?

I dont know why this happend. For everytime, I do this via USB on start up.

Do you wait long enough for the box to boot?  The very first boot after a flash can be slow, the Vu+ Duo has a very small RAM available and its quite slow.

But why are you flashing with Backup plugin, why don't you flash it with the standard USB method?
