Support USB Wifi Dongles (Realtek) #120

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I bought a TP-Link Archer T3U Plus because it should be supported by kernel 5.10. I even see that it's recognized when I connect it to the pwnagotchi. But Raspian doesn't create the interfaces.

Feb 16 11:09:18 *** kernel: [ 8096.338523] usb 1-1.1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=2357, idProduct=0138, bcdDevice= 2.10
Feb 16 11:09:18 *** kernel: [ 8096.338552] usb 1-1.1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
Feb 16 11:09:18 *** kernel: [ 8096.338566] usb 1-1.1.2: Product: 802.11ac NIC
Feb 16 11:09:18 *** kernel: [ 8096.338579] usb 1-1.1.2: Manufacturer: Realtek
Feb 16 11:09:18 *** kernel: [ 8096.338592] usb 1-1.1.2: SerialNumber: 123456

But no new interface is being activated.

Describe the solution you'd like I want to use this external dongle for monitoring with bettercap and pwnagotchi. And have the devices activated automatically when I connect the dongle.

Describe alternatives you've considered I tried to disable onboard wifi with /boot/config.txt. This works but it results in no wifi interface being active at all. I'm totally ok if pwnagotichi will only accept one interface. (onboard or, if onboard is deactivated, usb)

Additional context

If you need more information, please let me know.

hey quick question: are you using an usb-A to micro usb adapter for this antenna? sorry if it has nothing to do with the issue, just curious, because I too wanted to put an antenna on my pwnagotchi but did not want to perma-solder it

widhalmt commented 7 months ago

No, sorry, I should have said that: I'm running on a Raspberry Pi 3. So I can connect it directlly.

@formula-spectre I'm using a Geekworm Raspberry Pi Zero 2W UPS Expansion Board X306 & USB HUB which is a no solder no header expansion with an 18650 slot and adds 3 USB A ports, might be worth considering.

@sylvainsf ooh that is really cool! does it have a plugin to see the battery percentage?
