    Unhappy Nexus 5X problem with external wifi (TL-WN722N and AWUS036NEH)

    Hello,

    I am trying to make an external wifi dongle work with nethunter, but when I enter "ifconfig" there is no wlan0 or wlan1...

    Devices: Nexus 5X, AWUS036NEH, TL-WN722N
    ROM: Android v6.0.1 Marshmallow MHC19Q
    Root: SuperSU v2.67
    Recovery: TWRP v3.0.2-0-bullhead
    Kernel: Linux kali 3.10.73-gf97f123

    Fresh install of chroot. I have installed firmware-ralink and firmware-atheros. Wifi and data are disabled.

    So, first I put in my AWUS036NEH and reboot the phone.
    This is the output of my Terminal after reboot:
    Code:
    root@kali:~# lsusb

    And here you can find the complete output of "dmesg": http://pasted.co/0cdf9fe8

    And than I do the same with the TL-WN722N:
    Code:
    root@kali:~# lsusb
    libudev: udev_has_devtmpfs: name_to_handle_at on /dev: Function not implemented

              collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
              RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
    Complete output of "dmesg": http://pasted.co/1de0482d

    This is what "ls /system/etc/firmware" puts out:
    Code:
    root@kali:~# ls /system/etc/firmware
    ar9170-1.fw    htc_7010.fw  rt2860.bin  rt73.bin  wlan
    ar9170-2.fw    htc_9271.fw  rt2870.bin  rtlwifi   zd1211
    carl9170-1.fw  rt2561.bin   rt3070.bin  wcd9320
    I really hope you can help me finding a solution for this problem. I am struggling with this for several days now...

    Hello,

    It finally works. I found an commit on Github (https://github.com/offensive-securit...1556f0859c2752) that was made after I have build Nethunter. So I made a factory reset and installed Nethunter again. Now both wifi dongles are working fine.

    Kind Regards,
    h0r57
