Hi everyone, 

Sorry if this is a case of me missing something completely obvious but I'm a total beginner and am stuck. 

I got my first Orange Pi PC the other day and, after a few update issues was advised to put Armbian on it which I've done. My plan was to connect it to my bedroom TV to let me work on coursera courses with wireless mouse & Bluetooth keyboard out of the way of the kids. I've got a generic 802.11N USB wifi adapter which I plugged in to the Pi, but it doesn't show up in my network list. Also, when I plug in a Bluetooth adapter and open the settings it doesn't find any Bluetooth devices at all during search. There's usually an led inside the adapter that flashes when it's working but that doesn't happen with the Orange Pi. 

 

Can anyone one give me a complete idiot's walk through with how to get my wifi and Bluetooth working so I can connect my keyboard and don't have to have Ethernet plugged in. Any and all help gratefully received. 

 

Thanks, Si. 

You first need to figured out what is the chip used in your USB WiFi. To do so, issue the "lsusb" command to figure out which manufacturer it is.

Thanks, it came back with:

"Bus 003 Device 002: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7601U Wireless Adapter"

This device is not directly supported in this kernel. This might be helpful: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/packages/extras/mt7601.sh

 

This is Wifi only, no Bluetooth.
