Repeat your iwconfig command. Does it now show wlan0 as a wireless device?

Where is bnep0 coming from? Is that your internal Bluetooth adapter enabled for BT pairing?

the bnep0 was the bluetooth dongle for peasybt

I removed it and ran the command. iwconfig


lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

Still nothing. :x

1. Run: uname -r. Do you have the new kernel?

2. Run: lsusb. Is the adapter being detected?

3. Run: lsmod. Has the mt7601u driver been loaded?

4. Run: modprobe mt7601u. Do you get any errors?

5. Unplug/replug the adapter and run: dmesg: Check for errors.

I own a TP-LINK adapter that uses this driver and it works fine after the kernel switch.

Have you reinstalled the driver PET since you switched kernels?

Which Tahrpup version are you using?

Update:

I removed and reinstalled the driver and it shows something now:

Code: Select all

root# modprobe mt7601u
root# iwconfig
wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:off/any  
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=0 dBm   
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:on
          
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

That's good - you now have a functioning adapter.

I don't know much about WiFi pairing, but I assume that your phone just acts as a WiFi access point. Run one of the Puppy connection tools and see what happens.

Thank you so much. :D

I'll see if I can pair it up with my phone now.

Run: iwconfig wlan0 up. Do you get any errors?

Run: iwlist wlan0 scan. Does it find any access points?

If you can now see your wireless adapter, this is how I tethered my phone.

Tethering the Huawei Ideos phone to my laptop,
makes it a a wireless router Wi-Fi hotspot.

Update I have created the wifi connection with my phone.

#29 Post by jss83 »

:D :D So happy

Here is what I did, after playing with it couple of hours, I tried :

>Internet Connection Wizard>Wired or Wireless LAN>Network Wizard

There it showed 2 interface, eth0 & wlan0, selected wlan0, another window opened up, clicked on "Wireless",, clicked [1]scan there, it showed my phone, selected it, used WPA2 because it showed that before in details elsewhere, entered profile-name, ESSID and entered my passphrase and unticked open and ticked restricted, saved it and clicked on use this profile, it showed above in the same window the live connection/network is available(something like that..), then clicked on auto dhcp and I was connected, opened browser and I was indeed connected, download speed jumped to 500kbps-1mbps. :)

Thank you rcrsn51 again.

Excellent. It sounds like this is the first time you have set up a WiFi connection. Now that you know how, it will become easy.

I would be interested in knowing how well this new mt7601u driver works. Is the connection stable or does it drop out sometimes?

It works great. Connected since last 4 hours I think, haven't dropped once, the speed is just too fast, I just checked on speednet and it showed 3 mbps download speed. :D

I have set up wi-fi before but not on any linux machine.

Excellent. I read somewhere that tethering through WiFi can drain your phone's battery quickly. Is this a problem for you?

No it actually is better than tethering with bluetooth, I can tell from my own experience, bluetooth tethering drains out battery much faster and the phone remains cooler when connected with wi-fi, whereas it would get a little heated up when doing it with bluetooth.
