  • AR9271 Raspberry Pi 2B

    Dear Developers,

    An AR9271 Wi-Fi USB dongle doesn't work neither with firmware-ath9k-htc

    RaspiOS is significantly different from Debian, unfortunately.

    Is there possibly some device tree overlay in RaspiOS?

    Have you tried building the firmware yourself - https://github.com/qca/open-ath9k-htc-firmware?

    All the very best, as ever,

    Hello Uwe,

    The log is from firmware-atheros.

    On RaspiOS it works with firmware-ath9k-htc and firmware-atheros.

    On Debian amd64 machine it works.

    This is from /bootfs/overlays/README of RaspiOS:
    > Name: dwc-otg
    Info: Selects the dwc_otg USB controller driver which has fiq support. This
    is the default on all except the Pi Zero which defaults to dwc2. Load: dtoverlay=dwc-otg
    Params: <None>


    Name: dwc2
    Info: Selects the dwc2 USB controller driver
    Load: dtoverlay=dwc2,<param>=<val>
    Params: dr_mode Dual role mode: "host", "peripheral" or "otg"

    g-rx-fifo-size Size of rx fifo size in gadget mode

    g-np-tx-fifo-size Size of non-periodic tx fifo size in gadget
    mode

    Could it be due to this line from the log?:

    Dec 30 17:56:42 rpi2-20230102 kernel: [ 51.636643] usb 1-1.4: new high-speed USB device number 6 using dwc2

    Best wishes,
    John

    Which driver is used on RaspiOS? Does the dongle work on Debian machines?
