Hi Fi,

What is this device, is it supported by
https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/linux-sunxi/tree/orangepi-3.4/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8189es

$ modinfo rtl8189es
modinfo: ERROR: Module rtl8189es not found.

or is it supported by
https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/linux-sunxi/tree/orangepi-3.4/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8188eu
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu
as RTL8188ETV is

$ modinfo rtl8188eu
modinfo: ERROR: Module rtl8188eu not found.


However RTL8188ETV is USB 2.0 device,
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee not again!

That last comment does not help.

If rtl8188eu is not available, that is the fault of your distro, not anything 
that driver maintainers can help. That driver is in the staging directory, and 
some distros do not include any of those drivers in their kernels.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee not again! Someone posts about a USB device not found, and 
they refuse/fail to provide the USB ID. Why, I do not know when the lsusb 
command provides this info so easily.

What's the hurry, Larry.
Let's see if Hans knows what type of this device is RTL8189ETV.

According to what is written here
http://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi#Variants
http://www.orangepi.org/orangepi2
RTL8189ETV, whatever it is, is an integral part of some "O-Pi" variants.

About rtl8188etv can be read here
http://www.orangepi.org/orangepibbsen/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=25&highlight=wifi
but there is no mention of RTL8189ETV.

WikiDevi also returns nothing
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Main_Page
  "Search results
  ...
  There were no results matching the query.

  Create the page "RTL8189ETV" on this wiki!"

I'm trying to determine in advance,
what components are supported,
what components are not supported,
what components will never be supported,
what components will never be supported in mainline kernel.

Therefore, I can not show 'lsusb' output. :)

"Distro" is not decisive in this matter, moreover dunno what are you referring with "your distro".

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee not again!

Assuming you are talking about the wifi module of the Allwinner H3
based Orangepi2 as shown here:

http://linux-sunxi.org/images/9/96/Xunlong_OrangePi2_front.jpg

Then we are talking about a realtek sdio wifi module, not usb but sdio!

These wifi modules are not supported at all by upstream kernels atm.

The path to getting these supported is:

1) Find the latest out of tree code for them
2) Get it to build and work with mainline
3) Get it added to staging
4) Clean it up, clean it up more, clean it up even more
5) Repeat 4
6) At one future point hopefully the driver can be moved from staging
    to drivers/net/wifi

Good luck with this!

Regards,

Hans


p.s.

I agree with Larry that the way you express yourself in your communications
is not really helpful. Please remember to be excellent to each other.

Care to share link to RTL8189ETV datasheet?

I found nothing useful apropos rtl8189etv in "linux sdk source code" 
http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/

Yeah, let's see is Realtek R&D gonna realize points 2 - 6.
After all, it's their job, right.

You can agree with whoever you want man,
however I don't understand why you telling me, or what are you talking about in the first place.

p.p.s.
Although it did not help much, thanks for reply.
