USB Wifi on DSM 6.1

[John RAZ]

Hi,

My server (DS916+ DSM 6.1.4-15217 Update 5) is working well.

I have buyed aTPlink TL-WN821N N300 (v5) wifi dongle and compiled the kernel module for my NAS.

The kernel module is loaded successfully:

# lsmod | grep 8192
8192eu               1623057  0
usbcore              176590  17 etxhci_hcd,usblp,uhci_hcd,snd_usb_hiface,snd_usb_audio,usb_storage,ohci_hcd,snd_usbmidi_lib,ehci_hcd,ehci_pci,usbhid,usbnet,8192eu,ax88179_178a,xhci_hcd

I see the wlan0 interface with iwconfig:

# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     unassociated  Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency=2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated
          Sensitivity:0/0

          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

I can put the wlan0 interface up:

# ifconfig wlan0 up 
# ifconfig wlan0
wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr C0:25:E9:13:9C:31
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

And i can see wifi network:

#iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0     Scan completed :

I see the usb wifi dongle in the DSM web interface under Configuration Panel -> Server Infos -> External devices -> USB devices as: 802.11n NIC - Realtek

 

The problem is that i can't configure the wifi dongle in DSM web interface. It said i need to insert an usb wifi dongle ....

 

Is an expert known what to do so the DSM web interface can configure my USB wifi dongle ?

 

Thanks,

JrCs
