[RT3070 RT5370]

Since most of the wireless engineering products are using RT3070 and RT5370 wireless network card, you can join the armbian driver!

 

Agree!

By the way... Can't understand why armbian don't have native support to at least one of these:

 

- Atheros AR9271

- Ralink RT3070
- Ralink RT3572

 

They are the most used USB WiFi adapters out there...

Execute 'netstat -rn' to get the idea why two interfaces connecting to the same network (192.168.1.0/24 in your case) is a bad idea with this kernel/config. The net route to your network uses eth0 (default route as well) so unplugging the cable you'll loose access. I don't know whether it helps to change order of NICs in interfaces file or if you must use scripts to adjust the routes (googling for 'pre-down route add delete' should help)

 

Thank you tkaiser!

 

I made a clean install of the latest version of armbian for my Orange Pi One. Then apt-get update, apt-get upgrade etc.

 

Followed again the tutorial and now my OPi keeps rebooting every time my WiFi dongle is connected to the USB port.

 

Much trouble to just make an WiFi dongle to work... I'm thinking about trash out this OPi and going back to Raspberry Pi!

 

[]s!

Hi! Nice tutorial!

 

But my OPi is acting weird... When I unplug my Ethernet cable, my WiFi dongle stop to work!

Looking at my dmesg:

[    6.018555] rtl8192cu: Loading firmware rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin

So, i changed my interfaces config to:

root@orangepione:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# Wired adapter #1
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.1.68
    netmask 255.255.255.0

    gateway 192.168.1.1

allow-hotplug wlan1
iface wlan0 inet static
    address 192.168.1.69
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255

dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

But... Unfortunately my problem persists...

 

What should I do?

 

Thank you!
