AntonioPisano Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Hello there, I am looking for some feedback/suggestion about an issue I have. Installed Armbian legacy kernel just yesterday. Then I have plugged https://www.olimex.com/Products/USB-Modules/MOD-WIFI-AR9271-ANT/ to enable wifi and found out I missed required firmware. I installed such firmware (htc_9271.fw) first by Ubuntu linux-firmware package, then tried with armbian-firmware-full, then I have downloaded from here http://linuxwireless.org/download/htc_fw/1.3/ (putting in /lib/firmware and after failing tried also /lib/firmware/ath9k_htc like package manager does. I have also tried compiling my own version from here https://github.com/qca/open-ath9k-htc-firmware In all of these cases, looks like firmware is not detected and loaded and therefore wif interface is not created. Errors I get in dmesg are of the kind: [ 371.442863] usb 2-1: ath9k_htc: Firmware htc_9271.fw requested [ 371.460441] usb 2-1: ath9k_htc: Failed to get firmware htc_9271.fw [ 371.473538] usb 2-1: ath9k_htc: USB layer deinitialized Can anybody confirm this issue? Packages from Ubuntu and Armbian repos put firmware in /lib/firmware/ath9k_htc, but I have also tried /lib/firmware. Are those the right places to go? Many thanks for any feedback on this Antonio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 apt install armbian-firmware-full should fix this problem. I have this adaptor and its working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
