[Solved] wifi dongle see routers but not mine - help?
aus9:
first I have the same dongle as in the past, its a slow class N but I am on ethernet normally so its no big deal if I can not resolve this.
my upstream source in the past....no longer works for me as per post
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,26149.0.html
To save you reading it...routers are detected with ZERO sorry for the shout quality ....so IMHO they will never connect.
OK so I found 2 other upstream sourcse and built the module and load it....but loading just one of course at the moment.
Do I have match for hardware...yes
--- Code: ---modinfo 8188eu | grep 010C
alias: usb:v2357p010Cd*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in*
lsusb | grep 2357
Protocol spec without prior Class and Subclass spec at line 23281
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 2357:010c TP-Link TL-WN722N v2/v3 [Realtek RTL8188EUS]
--- End code ---
I actually have built 3 modules from 3 different sources....but the issue for me is the next output,
I have elected, at my skill level....to load and run $ sudo wifi.sh rather than the other tools at this stage
--- Code: ---Select Wifi Network
ESSID Enc Qual Channel Type

2. AP_1609370253 off 76 1

As you can see....quality of one router is 93% suggesting that my module has been correctly built.
But my dongle is right next to my modem/router because normally I am using ethernet.
None of those router names or devices such as the solars....are close to my router name....and I know what it supposed to be,
I have enabled both 2.4 and 5....and both are visible to my smart tv
Anyone know why I can not see my router in above output?
Thanks for reading
because I can not see my router...I am posting on ethernet so can not run a ifconfig eth0 down command
aus9:
separate question....should I ask my neighbours to encrypt that access point ...router number 2 on list?
aus9:
ok this boot up I can see in dmesg, which I had not seen in the 11x dmesgs
--- Quote ---platform regulatory.0: Direct firmware load for regulatory.db failed with error -2
platform regulatory.0: Falling back to sysfs fallback for: regulatory.db
cfg80211: failed to load regulatory.db
--- End quote ---
I will now search this issue but ...why should I see other routers and not mine?
2) In case its too close....this boot up I put dongle on an usb lead but no change to not finding my router name.
aus9:
Ok got rid of the regulatory.db dmesg error after reading this post
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/459518/where-to-paste-regulatory-db-and-how
which claims that
--- Quote ---If you have kernel version 4.15 or newer, the regulatory database format and location has been changed. It is now loaded using the same mechanism as the firmware files. The new files can be found at https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sforshee/wireless-regdb/ and you'll need two files, regulatory.db and regulatory.db.p7s. Place them into /lib/firmware/ directory.

I have not (as yet) tried to setup the X.509 certificates mentioned here
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2055201#p2055201
but I did set up a config under /etc/modprobe.d/au.conf (new dir)
contents
--- Quote ---options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom="AU"
--- End quote ---
then loaded my kernel module.
If I package....I can ask that it be a dep of wireless-KERNEL but
--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ dmesg | grep regulatory.db
tc@box:~$
--- End code ---
and still can not see my router SSID
thanks for reading
Paul_123:
Is your router hidden (i.e. setup to broadcast its SSID)? If it is, it will not work with the TC default scripts. You will have to manually configure it.
