So I am happily running Ubuntu Precise 12.04 + LXDE Desktop and I was curious about this little dongle:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-CIGQYdk8ZhU3D3UCNn70jc7C9HdXvEZAsiNW71fGIE/edit
it is being sold by LogicSupply at a mere $10 … the link shows instructions on how to get it working on Angstrom Distribution release 2013-06-20 … the question is… does any of you have a this dongle or a similar one running on Ubuntu Precise 12.04 ??
Thanks much!
For a "mere" 2-3 more $'s you can get a WiFi dongle that'll work out
of the box without custom non-mainline drivers that do not always
work.
Atheros (atk9) based modules on amazon...
tl-wn721n
tl-wn722n
Just search "wifi" in this group, for all the problems with those
'tiny' wifi adapters...
Regards,
Thanks for the info Robert,
question… would you say the issue with these tiny dongles is because they use Realtek chipsets?.. or because they are really small and the antennas dont work that well?.. somebody in the forums had success with a small dongle using the Atheros chipset with the ASUS Wireless-N150 USB adapter…
Thanks!
The UWN100 and UWN200 have been tested and work on Ubuntu 13.04 (with NetworkManager support, too). The pre-compiled drivers won’t work, as they were compiled on the ARM architecture. However, the full installation process will work, and is nearly the same as the tutorial outlines. There are some distribution-specific changes that need to be made, though.
You’ll need to install the “build-essential” package instead of “kernel-dev,” and you’ll probably also need “linux-headers-$(uname -r)”.
The module files (.ko files) should be copied to /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
You’ll need to add “mtnet7601Usta” to /etc/modules, instead of /etc/modules-load.d/mt7601.conf
Hope this helps!
hi Casey… thanks for the info…
question… you mentioned it works with Ubuntu 13.04… how about 12.04 ? I wanted Desktop on BBB and 12.04 + LXDE works well… the Desktop installs on 13.04 seems to be still buggy or too heavy… I want to stick with 12.04 + LXDE
thanks much!
12.04 has not been tested, but I have no reason to believe it will not work. Or maybe you can install the LXDE desktop on 13.04?
Hi Casey… LXDE + 13.04 is being reported as buggy… thanks for all your help… once I get the dongle I will try it on 12.04 and report back… thanks!
Hello Joebotics,
Did you have any success getting your wifi dongle to work? If you did, I’d love to know how you did it.
Thanks for any guidance.
Charles
Great project and lots of interesting things with this BBB.
I’m having a similar issue as what was posted in this thread. I’m attempting to get the UWN100 functional with BBB. So far no luck. It appears my problem is getting the driver to install. I’m looking to use this with MachineKit and a LCD7 cape. Below are some key bits about my particular image.
$ uname -r
3.8.13-xenomai-r83
$ cat /etc/debian_version
8.7
$ whoami
machinekit
I’m using the machinekit BBB image posted at the below link. It looks like the last build was 2017-02-12 19:35
http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#BBW.2FBBB_.28All_Revs.29_Machinekit
I have installed that image, and it mostly works with my LCD7. I have a functional ssh over USB and I have a hardwired Ethernet / internet connection. However I’m having trouble getting it to work with the wifi. The hard wired setup is not pleasant for me, so I’m really hoping I can get the wifi working.
When un-powered I plugged in the USB UWN100, then booted it up. Then ifconfig does not show ra0 or wlan0. Then lsmod does not show anything like rt2800usb. I did a bunch of modprobes and got things that might be close to show up with lsmod. But still no ra0 and no wlan0. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get the driver installed? I have tried module-assistant and the below commands, but still no dice. I seem to have loaded a bunch of modules, and perhaps one of the modules is correct but needs to be configured. I’m not sure.
See below commands for additional information. Is it possible to get the wifi module to load?
Thanks in advance, and any help on this matter would be appreciated.

the UWN100 is a "MediaTek MT7601 (Ralink 7601)", the driver went
mainline around v4.5.x-ish:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/?qt=grep&q=mt7601
For 3.8.13-xenomai-r83, make sure this module is installed..
here is the out of tree module we used till it went mainline:
https://github.com/rcn-ee/mt7601u/tree/master/src
Regards,
Thank you for the reply. I used aptitude to install the .deb file you suggested. However after a reboot I still do not get wlan0 or ra0. Looks like the module is still not installed.
To prevent issues with various hacky things that I was trying, I started this from fresh install and followed these steps.

– put memory card in un-powered BBB
– Turn on BBB, connect 5V 2A power supply.
– Connect USB cable, wait for windows drivers to install
– SSH to 192.168.7.2 user and pass is “machinekit”
– $ cat /etc/debian_version
– Connect to hard wire Ethernet connection, wireless will not work with out first updating drivers via hardware internet connection.

Hmmmmmm, that did not seem to fully work. I get the below after a reboot.

The aptitude snap shot was after I installed it. It was not originally installed.

Then this, and several variants like “real” “wifi” and a couple others that I thought might have something did not produce results.
$ dmesg | grep mt7
I’m quite certain that I have the proper USB module, but these do have minimal markings. There is a small chance I got it mixed up with another one. Is there a way I can verify it’s the proper one? What is this rt2870? Is that perhaps claiming I have the wrong adapter in the port?
well a quick google search of your lsusb

This is looking better. It appears that driver is now installed, but not configured correctly. Does this also mean that is is not a UWN100?

Per adafruit tutorial, this should be showing ra0 or wlan0. However it does not. So I’m not sure how to modify /etc/network/interfaces. Do you have a suggested next step?
open /boot/uEnv.txt
you'll find a "cmdline=coherent_pool=1M quiet"
modify it to show
cmdline=coherent_pool=1M net.ifnames=0 quiet
and systemd won't rename wlan0 as wlx001d43504f97

Hello Robert,
I’m getting back to this. I now have an official UWN100. I have a fresh install, with 7601 installed via aptitude. I’m attempting to get wifi internet configured. Per Adafruit WiFi tutorial, how do I get wlan0 or ra0 listed by ifconfig? Either that or how do I get WiFi internet functional? See logs and additional information below.

Hello,
I’m still looking to configure WiFi. Can someone suggest what tools I should be using to configure the WiFi? This is 3.8.13-xenomai-r83 debian_version 8.7 machinekit image. Here is a bit more information.
I have found many tutorials which use many different tools. I have not found a tutorial that works with this BBB image yet. More info below about my ra0 UWN100.

I have tried adding some things per adafruit tutorial into /etc/network/interfaces, but no dice yet.
Hello,
Can someone suggest how to configure the wifi on this 3.8.13-xenomai-r83 Debian 8.7 machinekit BBB? It appears that connman is installed and aptitude hangs when I try to remove it. I was trying to remove connman such that I could use wicd, but I could not get connman to remove. It appears I’ll need to configure connman to use the wifi. I have found some connman tutorials. However they do not go smoothly. I can not get the wifi to scan. It appears I need to enable some permissions, but I’m not sure what permissions to enable, or how to enable those permissions. See below which notes the wifi is not powered and it will not allow me to enable it. Can someone suggest what permissions are needed to get this to enable?
machinekit@beaglebone:~$ sudo connmanctl
