Hi Béla,

   I'm testing this version on a Raspberry model B, but my WiFi adapter doesn't seem to work on this version.
It is this adapter:

Code: [Select]

tc@4-Gooseberry-PortableStereo:~$ lsusb | grep 7601
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7601U Wireless Adapter

I've installed these extensions:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wi firmware-ralinkwifi.tcz
tce-load -wi firmware-rtlwifi.tcz
It worked fine on piCore-7.0, and I do see the drivers are there:

Code: [Select]

tc@4-Gooseberry-PortableStereo:~$ sudo find / -name mt7601*

/tmp/tcloop/firmware-ralinkwifi/lib/firmware/mt7601u.bin

But it's not loaded:

Any idea what's going on?

Hi Gerrelt,

  What does the output of dmesg look like in respect to the dongle. Can you boot without it and then insert it and post what is reported in dmesg please.

Cheers

Does WiFi work with 7.1beta1?

I have a HTC 9271, firmware and at kernel moduels are loaded during boot correctley.

Hi Jon,

This is the dmesg after inserting the WiFi adapter:

Does WiFi work with 7.1beta1?

Hi Béla,

I've just tested it, and: yes, it "kind of" works with 7.1beta1.
The wlan01 network interface is now present when I execute the "iwconfig" command. Executing the wifi.sh script does also produce a list of WiFi SSID's.
But I cannot connect to my SSID. While trying to connect is throws (among the other output lines), this error:

Code: [Select]

sh: wpa_passphrase: not found
Also, I saw an error while installing wifi.tcz. It reports an checksum error on libn1.tcz:

Hi Béla,

  I can confirm that all the WiFi dongles I have tried on 7.1beta1 work.

  These include the following Vendor/Product pairs: 0x0bda/0x8176, 0xbda/0x8178, 0x0bda/0x8179, 0x148f/0x5370, 0x148f/0x7601, 0x148f/0x760b, 0x0a5c/0xbd1e.

  I can also confirm that all RPi's, running 7.1beta2, that have

Did you try a clean beta2 install?

[jncl]

Hi Béla,

  On a clean 7.1beta2 install, I have found that the following WiFi dongles don't work with the current wireless* and firmware* extensions: 0x148f/0x7601, 0x148f/0x760b, 0x0a5c/0xbd1e. All the other ones mentioned in my previous post do work.

  lsmod only reports the WiFi module(s), no other ones are reported as loaded.
