No Wi-Fi connection after update

Interestingly on buster lite, my (now depreciated) D-link DWA-131 wifi dongle:

Of course having said that, ifconfig does not show the usb device, so thatā€™s a bust.

Well my gut feel points to an issue with the Dongle but then it also should have the Issue under Win10.
Any other Raspberry Pi you can test it with?
Or maybe run either Linux LiveCD or a Linux Virtual machine on your PC to check.

Unfortunately no other Piā€™s available, but Iā€™m inclined to agree to it being a dongle issue. A fresh install of OSMC August image and OSMC does not like the mediatek adapter, but it is happy with the D-Link Realtek adapter.

After applying all the latest updates neither adapterā€™s are recognised in MyOSMC

Hi everyone, I have the same problem using an ASUS N10 nano wife dongle. Is this adapater longer supported? Thanks

The Asus usb-n10 is based on a Realtek RTL8188EUS chipset so it is not currently supported.

(FYI I deleted the thread you started as it was redundant to this post)

I was using wired previously but moving my pi3 across the room so would like to switch to wireless and encountered the same. bummer. Adding my logs to the mix.

The wireless on the RPi 3 was only affected in that it can no longer use tethering with the current builds. Just connecting to an existing network should still work. Did you go into MyOSMC and turn the wireless on?

Yeah. Wireless does not show up as an option. Only Wired and MySQL.

Just ordered a Vero 4k+ for the comfort of knowing it will be supported and the 801.11ac for 5ghz will be nice. I really like OSMC over my previous OpenElec install and figured I can re-purpose the pi for something else.

Thatā€™s a smart move.

When you migrated everything to the Vero I suggest to first try with a clean Raspian Install to check if the wifi comes to live because there is definitely something wrong

Good tip, thanks. It would not surprise me if there is a hardware issue with the Pi. It can get pretty hot here so the Pi is baking in spite of heatsink and fan.

Could you please tell me where i could find a list of supported devices?
I have found some devices with Ralink chipsetā€¦ do you know if this one is still supported?
Thanks

There is no list that I am aware of.

I do not know but from what I understand most adapters that are not based on Realtek chipsets are expected to have the same compatibility as with the previous kernel.

I ordered a dongle that claimed to contain the MT7610U chipset but unfortunately it was actually Realtek based. I have also ordered Ralink RT5370 and Mediatek MT7601 based dongles.

I will report the details and success/fail on these when I receive them.

Hi, an update:

MediaTek MT7601U VID:148f, PID:7601 with kernel 4.14

Did not work !! Looks like exactly the same issue as user Jonathan_Szoke

Means also the urb error?

Im actually not sure.

In dmesg the only reference I can find is:

[ 2.583321] usb 1-1.4: New USB device found, idVendor=148f, idProduct=7601
[ 2.583336] usb 1-1.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3

[ 2.583350] usb 1-1.4: Manufacturer: MediaTek
[ 2.583357] usb 1-1.4: SerialNumber: 1.0

I donā€™t see any other errors here but the wifi does not come up and at boot I see some error msg about Samba (just like when I use the Realtek with the 4.19 kernel)

Ok so but under MyOSMC still no WiFi section?
Guess would need to check full dmesg output. Can upload via dmesg | paste-log
