I followed your guide. I have also installed the rt73usb driver for railink.
Now the external usb wifi module's LED blinks and it is recognised by the Pine64.
But it is not connecting to any WiFi network. Using the GUI, it shows "Device not managed".
On a shell, typing dmesg, it shows:
lsmod
On a shell, using iwconfig it shows:
My interfaces file:
And my wpa_supplicant.conf:
I have forgot something? Thanks for help in advice
EDIT: Added the dmesg output
EDIT X2: Added the lmod output
If it is necessary, I will open a new thread for my problem
