Hi all. Making networking run on Linux desktops has always been IMO one of the reasons why it's not caught on. Stuff just shouldn't be this hard. I have a RPi Model B running current Raspian, and a wifi dongle that claims to run on it. `lsusb` reports it as Bus 001 Device 004: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7601U Wireless Adapter and `usb-devices` says: T: Bus=01 Lev=02 Prnt=02 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#= 4 Spd=480 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 2.01 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=148f ProdID=7601 Rev=00.00 S: Manufacturer=MediaTek S: Product=802.11 n WLAN S: SerialNumber=1.0 C: #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=160mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 8 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none) Now... even though it says "Driver=(none)" on that last line, `lsmod` reports: Module Size Used by [...] mt7601u 86636 0 mac80211 650707 1 mt7601u cfg80211 525998 2 mac80211,mt7601u [...] snd_hwdep 6479 1 snd_usb_audio videodev 177702 3 uvcvideo,videobuf2_core,videobuf2_v4l2 snd_usbmidi_lib 22479 1 snd_usb_audio snd_rawmidi 23727 1 snd_usbmidi_lib media 28994 2 uvcvideo,videodev rfkill 21373 2 cfg80211 snd_seq_device 5266 1 snd_rawmidi snd_bcm2835 23131 0 snd_pcm 97825 2 snd_usb_audio,snd_bcm2835 snd_timer 22706 1 snd_pcm snd 68784 8 snd_hwdep,snd_usb_audio,snd_timer,snd_rawmidi,snd_usbmidi_lib,snd_seq_device,snd_bcm2835,snd_pcm bcm2835_gpiomem 3791 0 uio_pdrv_genirq 3718 0 uio 10166 1 uio_pdrv_genirq fixed 3029 0 ip_tables 12512 0 x_tables 20921 1 ip_tables ipv6 384391 18 So there is a module called mt7201u being loaded yet it's not seen as the associated driver to this card in usb-devices and it's definitely not showing in ifconfig or iwconfig. Any suggestions on what I'm missing is greatly appreciated. -- Evan Leibovitch Toronto, Canada Em: evan at telly dot org Sk: evanleibovitch Tw: el56
