Panda PAU0B adapter help

Open Anakinjh opened this issue 6 months ago • 4 comments

I have been trying to get my Panda wireless PAU0B adapter to work on OpenWrt. I have been trying to make a small router/ extender for my home network and be able to travel with it.

Under section 7, I followed sub-section 4, the one with specific OpenWrt instructions. I was able to use scp -O [NAME_OF_FILE] to copy the mentioned files into my router in /lib/firmware/mediatek and I ran an ls to make sure they were there. I rebooted but I still am having issues I believe.

Running the command ifconfig doesn't show any wlan interfaces at first. The guide I was following said that ifconfig wlan1 up should bring up the interface for the adapter, and then wlan0 should already be up. Mine is not, and wlan1 gives me a "device not found error"

Did I miss something installing the firmware? Did I somehow miss the driver install?

I've been following this guide by NetworkChuck and I feel confident that my configurations are right, but I must be missing something
