32-Bit Version

Oops!

“On Debian Jessie (which uses systemd) and on Fedora 22 (also using systemd), the device is not mounting as a CD not as a Wireless dongle. So you can’t use it.”

“On Debian Wheezy, it was seen as a CD drive. A simple manual eject command and it is working. Slightly annoying, but fine.”

"I have the solution which work flawlessly on both distributions and will allow you to just plug your USB dongle and see it as a wireless device (as expected! Thanks AVM x-( )

You either need to create or modify the file /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/057c:62ff so that it contains exactly the following text:

AVM Fritz!Wlan USB Stick N v2

TargetVendor=0x057c
TargetProductList=“8501,8503”
StandardEject=1
NoDriverLoading=1
MessageContent=“5553424312345678000000000000061b000000ff0000000000000000000000”

On Debian Jessie, this file did not exist. Adding solve the problem!"

Might try that and see.

Unfortunately it is so that turnkey do not recognise all brands of hardware. There are really just two things to do:

  • search around, see if your hardware vendor have drivers and software easily available, and implement them in the turnkey kernel. This can be complicated, hard and are really not recommended unless you are very experienced with linux OS’es

  • test other linux distributions to see if any of them supports your hardware out of the box (ubuntu has a track record of supporting the most hardware). Then install Mineos on top of that. This is an easier way, and you find how to install MineOS on stand alone distributions inthe MineOS Wiki. Here is how to install MineOS on top of Ubuntu 14 (Download here ) : HOW TO: install MINEOS-NODE on UBUNTU SERVER 14.04.2

Ok so what should I try first? The abvoe or the bellow :smiley:

I would reccomend the second

Mmh… ok but where do i get Ubuntu Server 14 32-BIT?
Couldnt find as a normal download and I HATE torrents
EDIT: In the time i try the above ;D

Ok. try here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/
Make sure you choose the right version:
AMD64 for AMD prosessors
or
i386 for Intel prosessors.

And… like i said i never touched anything besides Mac OSX and Windows… how can i add the File :worried:

And you are sure that this is the Server version? :smiley:
Because below there is DESKTOP…
I might just be dumb, or is it?
EDIT: Oh there is also a Server one :DDD

How about the carl9170 driver?

carl9170

Towards the beginning of 2010 a new shiny driver: carl9170usb started brewing with the main goal of replacing the existing driver and making use of only open firmware.

It took 1 year, 5 months, 9 days since this merge of ar9170usb upstream to release carl9170 with upstream inclusion intentions.

The carl9170 driver actually ends up not only replacing but superseding the staging Otus driver.

There are both. the server versions are further down.

It really shouldn’t matter though :slight_smile: I also linked directly to the apropriate ISO’s in my above post in an edit.

OK, just light reading then:

https://wiki.debian.org/carl9170

Supports both;

USB: 057C:8401 AVM GmbH Fritz!WLAN N [Atheros AR9001U]
USB: 057C:8402 AVM GmbH Fritz!WLAN N 2.4 [Atheros AR9001U]

Good Luck!

@tNt
Huh? Do i need this to create the file?
UPDATE: i got the command wpa_passphrase working!

Yep, just create the file (with a hex editor) and set the permissions. (Need root tho so better don’t)

anyway, iMelsom has a good advice by starting with ubuntu and load mineos or turnkey lamp on that then driver should be native.

how did that happen?

I played around with it, and then just simply typed
wpa_passphrase [SSID] [Password of Router]
I didnt really know what the command was for

Oh, I thought a hardware not supported problem, did not know it was a log in problem, lol.

@tNt & @Probastian:
BE careful rooting around in the kernel area. Both I and hexparrot do not reccomend going that way

Right you are iMelsom, not to mention this was not really a MineOS issue either. Was it?

Snort change my nic to iTruffle or iWildbore, lol.
