WIFI Realtek RTL8811AU seen by OS, not configurable in dietpi-config

Creating a bug report/issue

Required Information

DietPi version | cat /boot/dietpi/.version G_DIETPI_VERSION_CORE=7 G_DIETPI_VERSION_SUB=1 G_DIETPI_VERSION_RC=2 G_GITBRANCH='master' G_GITOWNER='MichaIng'
Distro version | echo $G_DISTRO_NAME or cat /etc/debian_version

10.9

Kernel version | uname -a Linux openHAB2-C4 4.9.241-arm64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 25 17:57:15 CET 2021 aarch64 GNU/Linux
SBC model | echo $G_HW_MODEL_NAME or (EG: RPi3) Odroid C4/HC4 (aarch64)
Power supply used | (EG: 5V 1A RAVpower) 5V 2Amp
SDcard used | (EG: SanDisk ultra) Emmc 16GB

Additional Information (if applicable)

Purchased a WiFi USB dongle from Odroid to go with this C4.

From these options, Odroid Connectivity options

I chose this one, which is detected as a Realtek RTL8811AU https://www.odroid.co.uk/odroid-accessories/odroid-connectivity?product_id=870

Steps to reproduce

LSUSB shows the USB device connected

But dietpi-config > 7 > WiFi reports that "No supported WiFi hardware was found"

Expected behaviour

I'm not entirely sure, as I've never setup a WiFi device on an SBC, I've only ever added second Ethernet dongles

I just tried loading a new driver, as explained here, https://blog.abysm.org/2020/03/realtek-802-11ac-usb-wi-fi-linux-driver-installation/

I don't understand what the last two lines of this mean ---

Module build for kernel 4.9.241-arm64 was skipped since the

But still dietpi-config > 7 > network doesn't show it, however inxi -Fxz continues to show the network device

I've just found an old USB Wifi dongle in the bottom of my laptop bag and that does seem to be discovered and configurable

Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8192CU 802.11n WLAN Adapter

Many thanks for your report.

First of all dietpi-config detects network adapters based on the kernel devices found in /sys/class/net/ respectively the output of ip l, which lists all those as well. lsusb shows USB devices and their names, but the system/kernel cannot derive from that whether it's a network adapter or something else. For this a kernel driver is required. When it is invoked correctly, the USB device is detected as network adapter and can be used then.

Since you did some driver install tests, I'm not 100% sure now, but it seems the kernel ships this driver already? Can you run:

find /lib/modules -name '88XXau.ko' -exec dpkg -S {} \;

find /lib/modules -name '88XXau.ko' -exec dpkg -S {} \;

Hey Michal

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I ran the command and got this...

linux-image-4.9.241-arm64: /lib/modules/4.9.241-arm64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8812au/88XXau.ko

Based on your reply, I'm wondering if this Realtek RTL8811AU chipset isn't listed in the set of headers I have loaded? (Not that I really understand what the sentence means)

So I've tried the following command

apt install linux-headers-arm64

Which appears to want to install headers with the version 4.19, rather than 4.9

Okay, so it's indeed part of the kernel already. Let's Verify the driver version and load it manually and see if it has an effect:

modinfo 88XXau
modprobe 88XXau
sleep 1
ls -l /sys/class/net/
ip l
dmesg | tail -10

Ah yes the correct headers package is:

apt install linux-headers-arm64-odroid-c4

Check for installed kernel meta packages (in this case linux-image-arm64-odroid-c4) and always install that one after replacing image with headers. Then you're nearly assured to have the correct headers + when upgrading the kernel, the headers will be upgraded in the same turn.

modinfo 88XXau modprobe 88XXau sleep 1 ls -l /sys/class/net/ ip l dmesg | tail -10

So I added that to a script and ran it.

Here is the screen dump of everything I've tried in the last 10 minutes

(After a reboot) I do see that this command reports the presence of RTL8812au, rather than RTL8811au

root@openHAB2-C4:~# find /lib/modules -name '88XXau.ko' -exec dpkg -S {} \;

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '88XXau': Exec format error

That is strange. Please try to reinstall the kernel and let's see whether loading the module works then. Also remove the wrong headers:

apt purge --autoremove linux-headers-arm64
apt install --reinstall linux-image-4.9.241-arm64
modprobe 88XXau

The package you downloaded installs the same kernel module 88XXau.ko, the directory name it is located in is not relevant, I mean it's just sorting for human but the kernel/system loads modules only based on their name and aliases, not based on their location/directory. Either it does work for 8811au as well or not. But first we need to be able to load it into the kernel.

apt purge --autoremove linux-headers-arm64

if it helps, I just found this forum thread, that is suggesting a driver needs to be compiled?

https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=49102

https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au

apt purge --autoremove linux-headers-arm64 apt install --reinstall linux-image-4.9.241-arm64 modprobe 88XXau

Okay, so I ran those commands and apart from waiting a long time at 60%, it seems to have finished.

Hmm, that is the very same kernel module 88XXau. Generally it should work.

Generally it should work.

Yeah, that old classic.

Should and Does aren't always good bedfellows

DKMS seems to interfere, please remove it as well:

apt purge --autoremove dkms realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
apt install --reinstall linux-image-4.9.241-arm64
modprobe 88XXau

It all went well... until...

modprobe 88XXau

Does the fact that the dongle is seen in this list mean anything???

Purely out of curiousity, I threw the older dongle in to see if there is any difference in the inxi query

Does it mean anything that one says the USB-Driver is rtl88xxxu and the other is usb-network

Just not the way around I was expecting

Not sure how inxi derives which hardware is of which type, but as long as ip r (and /sys/class/net/) does not show the interface, it cannot be used.

Does loading any other kernel module work, e.g.:

modprobe 8188eu

Ah and there is a force option, just to try:

modprobe -f 88XXau

The driver package you installed first btw states that its for x86, x86_64 platforms. Not sure whether it plays a role when it's compiled via DKMS but following the manual build via https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au looks more promising to me.

Because I can... I plugged this "Odroid" WiFi dongle in to my Windows 10 machine, just to see if it works.

It does.

Win10 happily loads a RealTek RTL8811AU driver for it

modprobe 8188eu
Ah and there is a force option, just to try:
modprobe -f 88XXau

Oh dear

trying either of those commands gives me

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '88XXau': Exec format error

Did you reboot once? Which kernel is actually loaded? uname -a

following the manual build via https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au looks more promising to me.

I tried that and nothing much changed.

Apart from it suggested that the driver was no newer than the one already loaded.

Yes, I have rebooted a few times

uname -a returns

Linux openHAB2-C4 4.9.241-arm64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 25 17:57:15 CET 2021 aarch64 GNU/Linux

**** I do appreciate you spending so much time on this.... I would have given up hours ago

I'm puzzled how no kernel module can be loaded. Is there any other module loaded, actually? Some, 10 or so, should be loaded by default.

lsmod

Its very strange

lsmod

root@openHAB2-C4:/# lsmod

rtl8xxxu is loaded, probably they conflict? Try:

modprobe -r rtl8xxxu
modprobe 88XXau

Also let's try to load a very different basic module:

modprobe tun # that is for OpenVPN interfaces

And let's see whether the timestamps are as expected (so those are really from the kernel package):

find /lib/modules \( -name 88XXau.ko -o -name rtl8xxxu.ko \) -exec ls -l {} \;

Something strange is happening...

This command returns ...

modprobe 88XXau

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '88XXau': Exec format error

and this command returns --

find /lib/modules ( -name 88XXau.ko -o -name rtl8xxxu.ko ) -exec ls -l {} \;

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token('`

But if I remove the () I get this

find /lib/modules -name 88XXau.ko -o -name rtl8xxxu.ko -exec ls -l {} \;

Thanks for your efforts Michal

I'm going to give up for the day now.

Thanks again for all your effort.

If you have any wild ideas, I'm happy to give them a try later

Ah sorry, I forgot to escape the parenthesis:

find /lib/modules \( -name 88XXau.ko -o -name rtl8xxxu.ko \) -exec ls -l {} \;

Please run that one as last step. If the first module (the one that fails) has the expected timestamp as well, then we know that it's definitely the one from the package. I'd forward the issue to Meveric then so he can try to replicate and maybe he has an idea or can update the kernel package.

I had just powered the unit off, so this command was run as soon is it booted up

find /lib/modules ( -name 88XXau.ko -o -name rtl8xxxu.ko ) -exec ls -l {} \;

Arrr yes, that makes a difference

Okay thanks. Looks like a bug then. I'll forward it.

Custom compiling the module from the GitHub source might work, when you're in mood to go with this 🙂.

Custom compiling the module from the GitHub source might work

Nice thought, but I think that is WAY beyond my skill set

Meveric by chance has that adapter as well, verified that the driver module shipped with the Hardkernel kernel does not work and packed an own DEB package for that module:

cd /tmp
curl -sSfLO https://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/other/C4/rtl8812au-dkms_4.3.14_all.deb
apt install ./rtl8812au-dkms_4.3.14_all.deb
rm rtl8812au-dkms_4.3.14_all.deb

Best would be if Hardkernel got that fixed, but this should serve as workaround.

Ummm

Thanks for the hard work.

What I now get it that I can scan for networks and it correctly sees everything in my area, but it just can't connect.

I have multiple access points on the same SSID.

Whatever I have tried brings me back to the same situation.

Slot 0 gets the correct SSID and password combination, but it just can't get a lease.

Using Ubuntu it works perfectly.

What can I do next to test this for you?

Or, as you hint, should be just flag it to Hardkernel? (Or will they just say.... "Use Ubuntu, it works")

Thanks a million

but it just can't get a lease.

Oh, that is bad. Yeah it needs to be reported to Hardkernel. I already asked Meveric about it, else will open an issue: https://github.com/hardkernel/linux/issues

I thought it might be a config issue, so I tried to follow these instructions, (which is what I had to do in the Ubuntu 20 command line)

https://bhattigurjot.wordpress.com/2013/10/26/connect-to-wi-fi-network-through-ubuntu-terminal/comment-page-1/

Ok, so ifconfig isn't available, but iwconfig seemed to work

But it still refused to connect to the SSID

But saying that.

I have restarted the C4 and your script prompted me to update 1 app

Which turned out to be

rt18812au from version 4.3.14 to 5.9.3.2

BUT

That has removed the WiFi card from the config again.

Oh well, it was worth a try 😢

Don't use 8 years old guides, you'll easily destroy the setup when it contains configuring OS-specific and/or outdated stacks and tools 😄. ifconfig is from the deprecated net-tools package, while nowadays you'd want to use the ip command from the iproute2 package, e.g. ip a to get an overview of attached network adapters and IP addresses.

iwconfig is deprecated the same way (superseded by iw), but the wireless-tools package contains a few other nice implementations, which is why we still have it pre-installed. It does not support WPA at all, so simply cannot work with modern WiFi networks, this is what wpasupplicant is for, controlled with the dietpi-wifidb/dietpi-config script, or via /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. dhclient is already started by ifupdown at boot based on /etc/network/interfaces config, so running it again would lead to two DHCP clients running concurrently.

Lol I see there is already such a package in the repo: https://dietpi.com/meveric/pool/main/r/rtl8812au-dkms/ That would need to be replaced, of course. However, as both do not fully work, it currently doesn't matter.

Some how I don't feel that "sorry" is enough of an apology.

I will unplug my keyboard and leave it alone.

Some how I don't feel that "sorry" is enough of an apology.

😄, if you mean a "sorry" from your side, that is definitely not required and I didn't meant this as blame. The info on ifconfig, iwconfig, iw, ip, dhclient etc are really meant as info, as this is definitely confusing, and I ran into the same issues with the same questions and hours of searching through the web to find out how things work.

Generally nothing bad about trying out things, as long as the system is not in urgent production state 👍.

not sure but this might be a similar issue. https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=9319

With the new Odroid N2 image, this should do it:

sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install git dkms bc linux-headers-current-meson64
git clone -b v5.6.4.2 --depth=1 https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl8812au*
sed -i 's/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = y/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n/g' Makefile
sed -i 's/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM64_RPI = n/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM64_RPI = y/g' Makefile
sudo make dkms_install
sudo modprobe 88XXau # or reboot

Ah sorry two important steps forgotten above but edited them inside now:

sed -i 's/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = y/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n/g' Makefile
sed -i 's/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM64_RPI = n/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM64_RPI = y/g' Makefile

Would have been neat if it did find out the architecture automatically, but it obviously doesn't.

When I tried to run those commands on the Odroid C4 everything worked until I got to the make dkms_install step. It churned for a while but then errored out with this output:

Nasty, seems to be an issue with Linux v5.10 headers: https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au/issues/762

Ah, I mixed it up and built it on NanoPi R4S with "edge" kernel v5.18. I'll try to apply the mentioned fix/workaround on Odroid N2 now.

This did it:

sudo ln -s module.lds.S /usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.123-meson64/scripts/module.lds
sudo make dkms_remove
sudo make dkms_install
sudo modprobe 88XXau

But it says:

Good news! Module version v5.6.4.2_35491.20191025 for 88XXau.ko
exactly matches what is already found in kernel 5.10.123-meson64.
DKMS will not replace this module.
You may override by specifying --force.

So the kernel module is there already. Quite confusing, present here but missing on rockchip64 kernel next branch 🤔. So again:

sed -i 's/dkms install/dkms install --force/' Makefile
sudo make dkms_remove
sudo make dkms_install
sudo modprobe 88XXau

Now it was actually installed but:

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '88XXau': Exec format error

What a hassle, trying another possible fix from the readme:

export ARCH=arm64
sed -i 's/^MAKE="/MAKE="ARCH=arm64\ /' dkms.conf
sudo make dkms_remove
sudo make dkms_install
sudo modprobe 88XXau

Same error ...

Trying with "edge" Linux packages v5.17.5 now.
