Hi Russ Hall,
Your help will be greatly appreciated !
I am a beginner about BBB and trying to use UWN200 on BBB(*rev C with
debian 3.8.13*),
I have tried to follow the tutorial on
http://inspire.logicsupply.com/2014/07/beaglebone-wifi-installation.html
However, Stucking at step3 with red warning
*NO wireless network found.*
Seems like at the very beginning there is something wrong:
After I type lsmod, I got this: not using by one instead of 0
* mt7601Usta 601404 0*
The Result of lsusb is the same:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp.
When it comes to ifconfig-a, it shows like this:
ra0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
Because the strange HWaddr, I guess there must be something wrong , maybe
just the first step.
I search for a long time and don't know how to start fix the bug.
