USB Wi-Fi dongle

I'd like to connect a USB wi-fi dongle to Udoo to extend its features. But when I connect the usb to the board it idicates that it is connected but I can't see any new interface with ifconfig or iw. I tried two usb wifi with same result. I used lsusb for both of them and I can see that the usb is indeed connect, so I tried to install the drivers for both of them. They both use Ralink drivers so I tried to install the whole ralink driver package using:apt-get install firmware-ralink, but again no new interfaces. I tried to install the individual drivers from ralink website but encoutered the problem with missing file:/lib/modules/3.14.28-udooneo-04206-g9e7d486/build:no such file or directory. Can someone help me I am really desperate to make this thing work.

 

Which UDOObuntu release are you using?
Can you post your dmesg output?

 

I am using version 3.14.28.
Dmesg | grep -i usb output:

First, please note kernel 3.14.28 is used in older betas, RC1 provides kernel 3.14.56
Then I suggest you to power on the board without your USB adapter and then check `lsusb` and `dmesg` (without any grep - how can you be sure that "usb" is in the output?)

 

Well, I have upgraded kernel to 3.14.56 but with no difference.
lsusb output:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1737:0078 Linksys WUSB100 v2 RangePlus Wireless Network Adapter [Ralink RT3070]
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
desg output relating the usb:
[ 1000.079365] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ci_hdrc

 

We do not have the modules for your wifi adapter. We will include the modules in the next kernel build.

 

Cool, that sounds great. Thank you.

 

Are you just going the add the module for this adapter or for the most common ones. I am having the same problem with a TP Link wifi adapter.

 

I'd like to ask a follow-up question. When will the next kernel build be released.

 

There's no roadmap yet.
