Some time back I bought a USB thing that is supposed to make a computer wifi capable. I looked at it again yesterday and noticed that it supposedly includes Linux computers. So I copied the Linux folder ("RTL8188C_8192C_USB_linux_v4.0.2_9000.20130911" by name) off the disc to my Desktop.
It's full of folders and a basic readme.txt which are all very discouraging, and I don't expect to be able to make the thing work on my X1000. But it does have an "install.sh" and I figured nothing to lose if I try it. So I "sudo su" and cd to that folder and go "./install.sh." "Permission denied."
What nerve! It's my computer, I bought the program etc., how can it refuse to do what I tell it?
Anyway, is there any way to get Permission?
"Permission denied"

I have added some kernel modules for your USB wireless network adapter to the RC3 of kernel 4.9.
Driver for Realtek RTL8192CU/RTL8188CU 802.11n USB wireless network adapters
Download: vmlinux-4.9-rc3-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz
You need to copy the kernel modules directory 4.9.0-rc3_A-EON_AmigaONE_X1000_Nemo to /lib/modules.
Code: Select all
sudo cp -R 4.9.0-rc3_A-EON_AmigaONE_X1000_Nemo /lib/modules

Re: "Permission denied"
Thanks. That mostly worked. At first I thought it didn't because I stupidly booted with 4.1 after putting 4.9 in the CF card. Now I find a list of wi-fi networks, including mine. But I don't seem to be able to connect with it. At first it repeatedly asked for something like a password when I clicked on its name. Now it has quit doing that. Network Connections agrees that it has never been used.

Re: "Permission denied"
Have you seen your USB wireless network adapter in the NetworkManager? You don't need to run install.sh.kilaueabart wrote:I'm running 4.9-rc3 with its kernel modules in /lib/modules. But how do I use the adapter? I assume with what you have added to the kernel I no longer need to try to run install.sh?

You mean it isn't working, do you? Which Wi-Fi encryption algorithm do you use? WEP, WPA, or WPA2?kilaueabart wrote:Now it has quit doing that. Network Connections agrees that it has never been used.

Re: "Permission denied"
It should be WPA. The bottom of the modem/router gives a WPA key. The Edit window in Network Connections makes it "WPA & WPA2 Personal." Any chance that "Password" under that wants my WPA key instead of my wi-fi password? I'll go ahead and try it and edit this post if it works...xeno74 wrote: Which Wi-Fi encryption algorithm do you use? WEP, WPA, or WPA2?
I have no trouble with wi-fi on my mobile or my tablets.
