Driver for Ralink5370 USB missing ? #8

Closed segore777 closed 4 months ago

segore777 commented 3 years ago

Hi, I'm trying to use your addons with my USB wifi dongle, but it's not detected. Where can I upload the driver ? Thanks.

joaofl commented 3 years ago

Do you know if your dongle is supported by the Alpine Linux? Do you think you could figure out which package has that driver? In that case I can add that for you. I can not do much from here since I dont have this dongle.

Hi, I think it's rt2870.bin or mt7601u.bin

Here's my log

Nice, thanks for the info. Ill check on how to integrate this driver as soon as I find the time, and will let you know when to test it, since I can not test it properly without the hardware.

segore777 commented 3 years ago

Hi, did you find some time to add my driver or could you send me a link to explain me how to do it by myself ? Thanks a lot.

Hi @segore777 , It is nice that you are willing to try. I'm really not finding the time to do it, neither I can test it.

What I suggest is: first, get yourself a terminal with root access to the home assistant. There is an addon that makes that easy.

Then, the easiest would be to find a package on the alpine linux package base, that contains the driver that you need, and install it using opkg on the terminal. If by doing that, you get your USB dongle working after re-plugging it, then it means that you found a package that introduces the drivers you need. After that it should be an wasy step to just introduce the installation of this package to this addon.

On a quick search here, I found this page: https://www.linickx.com/alpine-linux-raspberry-pi-and-wireless-wifi-firmware

Apparently, what we need to do is just to introduce a download step to in winch we download the firmware at startup.

Hi, I found the package it's : https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/snapshot/linux-firmware-20210716.tar.gz but opkg doesn't work in my terminal, I don't know the command for the Home Assistant OS 6.1 to install the package.

And all the commands on your link doesn't work too...

I don't know what to do.

Thanks.

Have you managed to get it working in the end?

segore777 commented 4 months ago
