When I awoke last week to find out about the ETC I immediately ordered one. At that time the link to the wifi adapter wasn’t working, it just wasn’t available to order. Now that I have the ETC I think I really need that device. It’s 10 dollars in the store but shipping is another 15 dollars. Can I order another brand wifi dongle?
Just asking, I love you C&G but I don’t love shipping costs. Can anybody tell me if I should buy from this shop or can I get another elsewhere?
Thank you, really looking forward to the scripts that people create~
I did use the template file on a Windows 10 machine using Notepad. The
extension was .sh.
The first time I ran the script the network name was ETC … so less than 6
characters. Could that have caused the script to error? Is there a way to
delete the config?
Has anyone tried it with the TP-LINK N300 mini adapter?
I’m getting no detection from it, but tried another stick and it worked but was disconnecting every 30 seconds. Any ideas to get it going on this one? It said Raspi compatible so I figured it’d be plug and play.
Hmm, I think I actually tried one of these at some point, and couldn’t get it working either. The ETC is not based on Raspberry Pi, so doesn’t have all the same WiFi drivers installed. The two I mentioned above have the Ralink 5370 chipset for which a driver exists on ETC, and it is coincidentally the same adapter that got named WiPi for Raspberry Pi.
like the organelle , you are best off with one based on the Ralink 5370 chipset. (they are very cheap, and available everywhere)
the linux kernel on the etc is pretty old (3.14), so newer wifi sticks might not work, the only real way of knowing if a wifi stick is compatible or not, is to know which chipset the stick uses, and then check to see if the kernel was compiled with it supported… not easy to do for and users.
so really, easier to just use something known to work.
