can't get my new wifi dongle working

[jazzaj]

Hi all,

My Edimax dongle is dead... RIP

I wanted to try another dongle that I have, a TP-LINK Archer T2U. But Runeaudio (ODROID C1+, runeaudio 0.3-alpha build 20140709, runeUI 1.3alpha) didn't recongnize it while I pluged it.

On the TP-link website, there is a linux driver for this dongle (https://github.com/Myria-de/mt7610u_wif ... o_20130916) and a package exists in AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mt7610u_wifi_sta/)

So I ssh-ed my odroid, did a pacman -Sy and tried a pacman -S mt7610u_wifi_sta but got "error: target not found: mt7610u_wifi_sta"

I played with archlinux a longtime ago and didn't remember how to install a package from an archive, I don't want to brake my installation to...

Could someone help me to install this dongle (it seems possible since there is a driver) ? Thanks.

Thks Frank. The fact is I was a user on older arch systems

Hi, did you get this working?

I have the same dongle and I tried packer -S mt7610U_wifi_sta.
This results in an error: /lib/modules/3.12.26-1-ARCH/build does not exist.

I tried installing abs and copying the build files to a build folder in my home dir wich I symlinked to the modules folder.
But that results in a: No rule to make target.

While these are popular dongles in my country, it would help more people if we can get a working procedure to install it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi kopke,
I get the same error with this packet.

I am not there yet, but I got a step further:
Started with a new image, then installed (as root) packer and some tools out the base-devel (binutils,make,gcc,fakeroot,pkg-config,sudo).
As a normal user started packer and got the missing build folder error.
By the packer also installed the headers.
I made a symlink: ln -s /usr/lib/modules/4.4.9-1-ARCH/build /lib/modules/3.12.26-1-ARCH/build.
Started packer again it started to build. It took a while, next morning I found almost completely compiled but with an error on the mt7650u_sta.ko object.

Hey guys, there must some arch specialist out there who can tell us what the best way of compiling this module in runeaudio is?
