Trying to set up wifi....

In wiki they speak about a file /Linux/_wpa_supplicant

I coud not find it but instead found one in /etc

wpa_supplicant

Here is the file :
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=1

network={
key_mgmt=NONE
}
Is it the good one ?
If yes, what exactly should I add to it ?
How to modify it because in FTP it tells me that I have no right to do it. I can modify /Media but not /etc

Thanks for the help.

Take the SD card installer from official source and it will be there.

Finally found the file located @ /media/fat/linux/_wpa_supplicant.conf

Is it the good one ?

Replace my ssid and password, put my contry code and change name to wpa_supplicant.conf but it's not working :-(
It's not working out of the box :-(

The model is :

XIAOMI Mi Portable Wifi mini Router 150M

Ok, i'm like an idiot will re-post my message on every page:
Basically linux is not plug-and-play OS. So you can't expect that random WiFi adapter will work.
It's not like Windows where you install supplied by vendor driver and it will start to work.
The best practice is to read the tread and check what dongles are confirmed to work.

I've added some known to work WiFi dongles here:

I used the Xiaomi one like Terasic sells and the way to make it work is in this thread.
Works well and is cheap.

Please tell us how to build a working driver for wifi from the source code.
If I could, I would have done it myself! 8)

There is no universal solution for this.
You need to refer the sources and readme of the driver. It's not user friendly and sometimes requires a lot of knowledge.
Some drivers support one range of versions of kernel, some drivers support other range. Sometimes need to modify the sources.

Welcome to Linux :)

If you go into console or SSH and type "dmesg" you should get some info, but at the very least, the USB vendor and product IDs which can be used to identify the specific Ralink chipset.

Using tp-link tl-wn823n v2 with the correct firmware installed and noting that evertime I exit any core the wifi stops working. Performing a reset or cold boot from the OSD does not get the wifi to start again. Only way to get wifi again is if I remove and reapply power to the DE-10 nano. I have the I/O board and the USB boards on this setup. Has anyone else experienced this issue with wifi not reconnecting after exiting any core?

I have one similar, and dmesg report me this on infinite loop:

Re: Wifi

I have been researching something and it seems that there is a solution:
1\. From archive unpack just folder `drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt7601u`
2\. Edit phy.c. Find function `mt7601u_init_cal` and comment out call `mt7601u_mcu_calibrate(dev, MCU_CAL_RXIQ, 0);` like so:

```
// ret = mt7601u_mcu_calibrate(dev, MCU_CAL_RXIQ, 0);
// if (ret)
// return ret;
// ret = mt7601u_mcu_calibrate(dev, MCU_CAL_DPD, dev->dpd_temp);
// if (ret)
// return ret;
```
Find function `mt7601u_phy_recalibrate_after_assoc` and comment out call `mt7601u_mcu_calibrate(dev, MCU_CAL_DPD, dev->curr_temp);` like so:

```
void mt7601u_phy_recalibrate_after_assoc(struct mt7601u_dev *dev)
{
// mt7601u_mcu_calibrate(dev, MCU_CAL_DPD, dev->curr_temp);

mt7601u_rxdc_cal(dev);
}
```
3. Rebuild module...
More info here: https://github.com/kuba-moo/mt7601u/issues/64

Can someone rebuild the module 'mt7601u' with this solution and leave the release here to test it? At this moment I don't have idea of ​​how to do it on my own but if necessary, I would investigate it too ...

Building the module on its own won't do you any good, as the module is statically linked into the kernel.

Anyway, I have made the source change suggested:

https://github.com/bbond007/Linux-Kerne ... 387f3ba2e8

The resulting kernel is too large to post in the forum but you can download it here:

https://github.com/bbond007/Linux-Kerne ... er/RELEASE

This is a one-shot deal. If it works great, if not... oh well.. I'm not going to spend much more time making changes to sources I don't understand for hardware I don't own and can't test. This thread contains info on compiling the kernel for yourself:

http://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=117&t=32764

Good Luck...

Thank you very much too for the link with the information about kernel rebuilding, I may need it in the future.

would be good if others who has previously working mt7601u dongles try this modification. If it will work, then i can include into standard release.

simple method: pull SD card and use your reader/writer to replace /media/fat/linux/zImage_dtb

I only pull my card as a last resort after I have broken something :)

more complicated method:

1. connect wired ethernet and use WinSCP to transfer zImage_dtb to /media/fat
2. connect via SSH and type:
#cp /media/fat/zImage_dtb /media/fat/linux;reboot


good luck :)

Simpler method is just transfer zImage_dtb directly to /media/fat/linux by replacing the old one.
zImage_dtb is not opened while MiSTer running.

I agree that should work :)

I had an issue at some point that caused me to start doing that extra step.

did you look at dmesg output?

my guess is you need the bin file
