Use usb wifi device

Postby hit » Wed Jun 19, 2019 7:24 pm

Hi, I have a Raspberry Pi B+ with archlinux arm installed. I'm trying to make a usb wifi thing works with no luck. I can see the device with lsusb:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:a811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8811AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN Adapter
')
But it doesn't appear on ip link show:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether b8:26:ec:49:23:a7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff')


I read on the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi ... #rtl88xxau) that I need to install the drivers using the packages:

- rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git
or
- rtl8821au-dkms-git

but when I run makepkg -si on them i get the error:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
==> ERROR: rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git is not available for the 'armv6h' architecture.
==> ERROR: rtl8821au-dkms-git is not available for the 'armv6h' architecture.')

And I'm stuck here,

Is there any way to make that usb thing work?

Thanks
