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