External Wireless Adapters not detected

majekla · October 20, 2022, 9:27am

Hello everyone,

going on exploring,
(R1/beta3)

I looked for a wifi/usb dongle on [ Haiku Hardware Database (besly.de)], and decided to buy one :

TP-Link TL-WN725N Nano, with RTL8188EU inside

It is not detected…

I put it on the computer, rebooted, and I see nothing in network… USB is working quite well.
I tried with another computer without Haiku installed on it (only booting on Haiku’s USB dongle), nothing

I put it on winshit to check, it’s really RTL8188EU inside.

Did I miss something to do ? Install any driver ?

The current Haiku beta version does not support any USB Wifi adapters.
You need to use a nightly version which is not older than 2-3 months to get USB wifi support, the latest nightly should work just fine.
Also, the next Beta version is expected to have USB wifi support included.
You can find the Nightly downloads here: Haiku 64-bit | Haiku Files

Oh ! OK.
Thank you very much, I’m gonna try it immediately !

You can see the hrev number of haiku in the hardware list, this is the version of haiku, the hardware tested (most times nighly images).

majekla · October 20, 2022, 10:01am

Thank you :-).
I thought it was hardware reference number that had been tested

memsom · October 20, 2022, 11:06am

If it helps I have a TPLink and it works via the nightlies… don’t remember the chipset off hand but looks about right.

It doesn’t always connect without manual intervention on cold boot, but it should be stable once connected.

majekla · October 20, 2022, 12:03pm

Yes, it works now with Hrev 56541.
Wifi works immediately. Thank you.

I created a USB dongle and booted on with a CHUWI Larkbox Pro to test
(I did not find how to install Haiku on eMMC, it’s not recognized).

But I can no longer boot on Haiku’s USB key (with Hrev 56541) on my Lenovo ThinkPad T495, whereas I could with R1/beta3)… (can not evitate white screen with debug lines).
I tried a lots settings in UEFI/BIOS… none is working.

I’ll wait a bit for new improvments.

extrowerk · October 20, 2022, 1:16pm

EMMC is not yet supported

majekla · October 21, 2022, 12:20pm

OK. I thought so.
I bought a Thinkpad T470 this morning… Hrev 56541 works very well on it.
Much more stable than R1/beta3 !
But the wirelass_card is written working on hardware.besly, and it is not, I use the TP-Link

lelldorin · October 21, 2022, 12:27pm

It happens that components of computers vary within a series. The “function” or “non-function” is passed to us by the users, so we assume that this is correct if the message is “supported” here.

Have you read the information to this entry?

Had to set up mixed mode in bios with uefi first, othertwise wifi and soundard are not visible in uefi only mode.

majekla · October 21, 2022, 12:32pm

yes. It’s done.
Sound is ok. I see the wifi card, but it can not scan networks.

lelldorin · October 21, 2022, 12:35pm

Can you make a bug report on Haiku (haiku-os.org) please.
Maybe the wifi card was supported and it isn’t anymore

OK. I try to register on bug reporting’s site, but I can’t
I don’t understand the

“Parole:
Please answer above: What is the name of the operating system?”

Haiku ? Parole Media player ? I don’t find

lelldorin · October 21, 2022, 12:56pm

I think it is “haiku”

extrowerk · October 21, 2022, 4:26pm

Are you use UEFI boot? If yes, try with legacy boot. #17966 (idualwifi7260 firmware not loading) – Haiku

majekla · October 21, 2022, 5:17pm

Just tried

With Legacy only, it doesn’t boot at all.
With Both, Legacy first, no change, (same as picture)
With Both, UEFI first, no change (same as picture).

I still can not register on the bug reporting site !!
I must be stupid but it displays

I don’t understand why I can’t register ! What does this sentence mean ?

brunobastardi · October 21, 2022, 5:32pm

Hello,
I think there is a bug report already for it:

https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/17966

majekla · October 21, 2022, 5:48pm

it’s probably the same bug yes.
I shall add something funny…
screenshot15
The idualwifi7260/0 sometimes shows the SSID of the network to which the TP-Link TL-WN725N is connected

extrowerk · October 21, 2022, 6:37pm

Try to run in terminal:
# cat /var/log/syslog | grep idualwifi
and post the result here.
