Some help to install wifi dongle modules.

First disconect internal WiFi in settings and reboot the stick without the WiFi dongle attached.

When the stick boots, wifi must be disconnected. Open terminal emulator and write (case sensitive):
su
cd folderwherethedriveris
insmod yourmodule.ko

In this moment if the module loads well it must give no error mensages. If you write "dmesg" you will see at the final line something like "new driver nameofthedriver is loaded.

Now plug the wifi dongle, if it dont freeze or reboot the system we are in the right way, "dmesg" again will tell you that new usb found, bla, bla bla...
Now we must use "iwconfig" if our internal wifi is off (like it must be) and the driver works well we must see wlan0 defined.
Using "iwlist wlan0 scan" we must see a list with all near wireless networks.

Now there are a lot of ways depending of the devices. But if we are in this point, we are very close of making the device work. If we get this then i will give you tomorrow more indications.

Eureka!!!!
The driver is working correctly and I was able to surf the net though not at great speeds. The surprise was that in the process of loading your driver etc my internal wifi also started working.

Is there anyway to set up the device so that I have a choice of using the internal wifi or the dongle. I am attaching demesg2.txt (created after attaching the dongle) and iwc.txt (output of the iwconfig command) for your info. Look forward to hear from you.
Thanks once again for all the help you have provided. You are de guru!!!

Good Not all the honors are mine, you provided the full info and seems your driver source works very well after the corrections to adapt them to your kernel.
To make it work by default lets try some things, from terminal emulator, write those sentences (remember case sensitive). And the driver compiled must be in the root of internal sdcard:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /system/lib/modules/rkwifi.ko  /system/lib/modules/rkwifi.ko.ORIG
cp /sdcard/8192cu.ko /system/lib/modules/rkwifi.ko
chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/rkwifi.ko

Then restart the device and lets see if it work at next boot by default.

To return to use the internal wifi the commands are:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /system/lib/modules/rkwifi.ko  /system/lib/modules/8192cu.ko
mv /system/lib/modules/rkwifi.ko.ORIG /system/lib/modules/rkwifi.ko

I will study your dmesg and compile the driver you give me but i fear that your current driver is inserted in kernel, and we can't compile the full kernel for android yet in 3.0.36, so the compiled driver will conflict with the kernel one.

PS: Sorry no way to compile your driver and how i thought the driver is inserted in your kernel Looking a your dmesg we found in early boot:

<6>[    0.934878] usbcore: registered new interface driver SR9700_android

That is refered about your usb to ethernet adapter , I can search another driver and I can compile it, but the kernel will request the device before any module loaded. The only way to make it work better (I dont know if the same adapter in a windows or linux pc can be faster) is when we get working sources and custom kernels for those devices. So sorry I cant help you in this with this device.

leolas

Thank you for trying

Just tested it in my PC and got the same result (~8Mb/s)
Anyone got a link to a FULLspeed USB-RJ45 ?

Hi Leolas,
Looks like I jumped the gun. I rechecked the commands you advised earlier and am not sure if everything is OK. The iwlist wlan0 scan command seems unable to find any networks. iwconfig however shows wlan0 defined. I am attaching a screenshot showing the output of iwlist and iwconfig commands. Could you have a look together with the files attached to my earlier mail and let me know if the dongle loads OK.
I'll check out the new commands after I hear from you. Sorry for the additional complication.

so good to be real. The attached files dont give me any new clue. Lets try some things:

Before doing the iwlist wlan0 scan try to write:
ifconfig wlan0 up
Then do:
iwlist wlan0 scan
Lets see if this make the dongle search for networks fine.

Hi Leolas,
This time it worked. The ifconfig wlan0 up and then iwlist wlan0 scan worked and it discovered my LAN but still I am not able to access the net. I am attaching the screenshot showing the output of the 2 commands. What next. Should I try the move and copy copy commands listed in the earlier post.

Yes, lets try them.

Hi Leolas,
I followed the mv and cp commands you gave me and rebooted the device and then inserted the wifi dongle. I tried to turn on wifi from settings menu but doesn't work. The switch sits in the ON position for sometime then switches to OFF. On subsequent attempts it immediately switches from ON to OFF position.
The driver loads correctly and the dongle is recognised as wlan0 as the iwconfig command shows it correctly. I then gave the command ifconfig wlan0 up and then iwlist wlan0 scan. This correctly listed 5 networks available in the area.
However, as I mentioned earlier wifi does not turn ON using the switch in settings.

Then seems that this driver maybe use wext, let me look for a new driver for it, i will keep you informed.

rtl8192cu.ko and rtl8188eu.ko are already in system/lib/modules in finless 1.7 rom by default Leolas don't forget.
it should also work with the wifi gui with the rename to rkwifi.ko method.

Hola y gracias miles Leolas

True, thanks malfrat. Are someone tested it?

leolas

[malfrat]

anyone have rtl8188eu or rtl8192cu chipset to test it ?

True, thanks malfrat. Are someone tested it?

leolas

unfortunately i don't have those chipset to test.

[leolas]

unfortunately i don't have those chipset to test.

Mee too

Sorry people, but this weekend i will stay out of home again, without pc and no posibilities to try to compile drivers.

Re: New thread for drivers petitions.

With regards to open source drivers for WiFi and Bluetooth which device do you recommend? Does any of the existing ones use parts that have open source drivers. Now that the RK3188 kernel source is out, it is important to not buy anything that locks you in.

Signature? Signature!

or here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/...800usb/devices
5 Main chipset of the device:RT3070V (?)
6 Link to the driver that comes with the device (if you have it):
Perhaps it is :

Please help me, i cant build my modules by myself. My mk808 antena is broken.
Thanks you very much, Leolas.
