How To Install WiFi USB

[ayeah]

hi im newbie OrangePI,

 

how to make WiFiUSB work 

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp.

 

I try this step https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixesbut get error on this cmd  sudo apt-get install git linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms

 

root@orangepipc:~# git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git

Package linux-headers-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

 

E: Package 'linux-headers-generic' has no installation candidate

 

please somebody help?!

You followed wrong how-to. Check our manual section and search forum if you are here first time.

 

# this is needed now since there are some problems, otherwise this is not needed

cd /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)

make m=scripts

#

 

return to source dir and execute 

make ARCH=arm

or just

make

is usually all you need to do if you use Armbian.

Also, I don't think RTL8192 would be any help here, as you mentioned "148f:7601 Ralink".

This driver is part of the Mainline, but I don't think it is part of Legacy.

/lib/modules/4.4.5-sunxi/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt7601u/mt7601u.ko

Than following this recipe might be useful:

Anyway, both drivers should come with Armbian image.
