USB Wifi drivers avail in new kernel (3.10.101-0-pine64-longsleep)
#6
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:
Code:
[ 2750.605157] ehci_irq: highspeed device connect

lsmod
Code:
...other things...

rt2x00usb               8556  1 rt73usb
rt2x00lib              35228  2 rt73usb,rt2x00usb

cfg80211              367839  3 mac80211,rt2x00lib,8723bs
...other things...

On a shell, using iwconfig it shows:
Code:
wlx00e04d8247e0  IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:off/any  
         Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=20 dBm  
         Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
         Power Management:on

My interfaces file:
Code:
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d

# Disable wlan1 by default (8723bs has two intefaces)
iface wlan1 inet manual

auto wlx00e04d8247e0
iface wlx00e04d8247e0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface pine64 inet static
address 192.168.1.64
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1


And my wpa_supplicant.conf:
Code:
network={
      ssid="DLink-Marco"
      psk="************"
      proto=RSN
      key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
      pairwise=CCMP
      group=CCMP
      auth_alg=OPEN
      priority=9
      id_str="pine64"
}
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
