How to setup wireless usb adapter from TP-LINK ?

  • Hi,


    I am trying to install a Wifi USB key from TP-LINK. Here is the reference TL-WDN4200.
    I ve found that the used chipset is the RALINK RT3573. So I ve downloaded and installed the associated driver (firmware-ralink).
    But after rebooting, no wireless connection is up


    Some information to enable to help me:
    lsusb:

    Zitat

    Bus 002 Device 003: ID 148f:3573 Ralink Technology, Corp.


    dmesg:

    Zitat

    [ 2.111366] usb 2-1.6: Manufacturer: Ralink
    [ 2.111367] usb 2-1.6: SerialNumber: 1.0
    [ 2.111415] usb 2-1.6: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice


    iwconfig

    Zitat

    lo no wireless extensions.


    eth0 no wireless extensions.


    Must I create a new interface in /etc/network/interfaces ?


    Thanks for your help.

    Did you:


    modprobe rt3573


    Yes, result is: "FATAL: Module rt3573 not found."

    Then is it available to enable in the interface section of the web gui?


    No . Only my wired interface is available.

    Did you install the backports kernel using the button in OMV Extras?


    No. I know nothing about backports kernel :?
    Is it an updated version of the linux kernel for OMV ? Must I install it and how ?

  • So I have updated the kernel ( version: 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-486 ) and the driver (firmware-ralink).
    But my wifi USB is not detected again.


    Sorry it is a long time that I have managed linux .


    How can I check that the driver is loaded or not ? How to load the appropriate driver ?
    Thanks for your help

  • Use

    Code
    lsmod

    to see if the necessay kernel module is loaded.
    If not try

    Code
    modprobe -l

    , which lists all available kernel modules. If the module is in there use

    Zitat

    modprobe module_name

    .
    If the module is not listed but somewhere else use

    Code
    insmod /path/to/module_name
