Getting Wireless working on Pogoplug E02

Postby makuab » Sat Mar 09, 2013 8:01 am

Wireless adapter is AR9271 TP-LINK TL-WN722N which has a linux driver (ath9k_htc I believe).

I just need help piecing it all together. I couldn't find any relevant up to date guides.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_Setup

Give it a read through but off memory you will need to install wpa_supplicant along with a tool for managing the connection, I use netcfg which is a command line network management tool.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Netcfg

Again off memory the packages needed should be netcfg and wpa_actiond, from there you can setup your profiles in the /etc/network.d directory of which there are examples in that directory. Just copy one and edit accordingly, once done you can bring the conenction up using "netcfg <network settings file name>" I have a near identical wireless card to you and didn't need to change the default firmware or drivers

Have fun

It doesn't show up when I use ifconfig, doesn't that mean there is no driver installed for it?

use "ip link" to list interfaces, maybe it's just down.
See "dmesg"

You can use "iw" to scan to see if the adapter works at all.

iw doesn't work, it shows up in ip link, dmesg shows the ath driver. Should I post the outputs?

what's the interface name? ath0 or wlan0 ? anyway, bring it up with "ifconfig wlan0 up" replace wlan0 with your interface. Then you should be able to use iw

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('moonman', 'w')hat's the interface name? ath0 or wlan0 ? anyway, bring it up with "ifconfig wlan0 up" replace wlan0 with your interface. Then you should be able to use iw


Installed iw package. When I use iw dev scan wlan0 it says command failed: Network is down (-100)

EDIT: used ifconfig wlan0 up and now I can scan with iw dev scan wlan0 and I see my SSID

iw wasn't installed, is that normal? I had to get it through pacman.

netcfg is for managing profiles, what does wpa_actiond do?

It is normal. Netcfg will bring up the interface up automatically. Just set it up the way you want.
