I can't install some packages for my wifi adapter.

Hardware Arduino Yún
1

Hello,

I am following the 'Yún – USB wifi adapter' tutorial described on this following link: http://www.lucadentella.it/en/2014/11/08/yun-adattatore-wifi-usb/

I have written: dmesg and I have seen the presence of my wifi adapter.

When I have typed: opkg install kmod-rt2800-lib kmod-rt2800-usb kmod-rt2x00-lib kmod-rt2x00-usb, I got this message:
Unknown package 'kmod-rt2800-lib'.
Unknown package 'kmod-rt2800-usb'.
Unknown package 'kmod-rt2x00-lib'.
Unknown package 'kmod-rt2x00-usb'.
Collected errors:

  • opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-rt2800-lib.
  • opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-rt2800-usb.
  • opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-rt2x00-lib.
  • opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-rt2x00-usb.

I used the PuTTY software to do this.

Do you have some ideas to solve this problem?

opkg  update
opkg install kmod-rt2800-lib kmod-rt2800-usb kmod-rt2x00-lib kmod-rt2x00-usb

Even if I type : opkg update and opkg install kmod-rt2800-lib kmod-rt2800-usb kmod-rt2x00-lib kmod-rt2x00-usb; I got this error message:
Unknown package 'kmod-rt2800-lib'.

In fact, my main problem is that my Yun can't see and describe the description of my antenna.

Can you solve this problem?

@jay97430,
I see a several problems.

  • the article you reference has made a mistake. The antenna connector CAN be used. If you read the link he cites, you'll see people are using antennas. In fairness to the author, the entries were made AFTER the article was posted.
  • I check my online list of packages and there is no kmod-rt2800. This not to say there is no such module, just one is not available in the current respository you and I are pointing to.
  • doing a quick search for OpenWrt rt2800, shows that it is problematic.

I'd say start over. However, maybe someone else has some ideas on this.

AMENDED Apparently, SonnyYu says an upgrade of the Yun is required.
