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

[h0r57]

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:

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

And than I do the same with the TL-WN722N:

This is what "ls /system/etc/firmware" puts out:

root@kali:~# ls /system/etc/firmware

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...

Kind Regards,

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,
