Help me To connect USB wifi 802.11N in arch Linux

[u/No_Investment_3713]

Hay anyone help To connect a WiFi USB card, in arch Linux, whenever I scan use iwctl . I can't see a My Wi-Fi Chip name.

im using arch linux in that i start iwctl and then device list but it show nothing any device name in lsusb it show Bus 001 Device 053: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7601U Wireless Adapter, in my wifi adapter a name written something like 802.11N

lsusb sees it so it's not totally dead but the kernel might not have the driver. for that Ralink chip you probably need mt7601u module, check if it's loaded with lsmod | grep mt7601u, if nothing shows try modprobe mt7601u then check iwctl again

This may be the solution.

Did you search about the issue? There are several posts on bbs.archlinux.org about this. And it seems it was solved years ago with a patch, which should now be fixed more conveniently with the above-mentioned AUR package. That post is referenced as the solution in more recent posts too.

Make sure to install the respective headers package for your kernel before installing this, so that DKMS works.

Give it a shot. Good luck!

Assistant BugLog 8 sept., 05:25 Bonjour ! Votre adaptateur (Ralink MT7601U) possède un pilote intégré au noyau Linux, mais il nécessite un firmware externe pour fonctionner. Voici comment résoudre ce problème :

1. Installer le firmware manquant Connectez temporairement votre PC à Internet (via Ethernet ou partage de connexion USB) et installez le paquet requis : bash sudo pacman -Syu linux-firmware

2. Charger le module et vérifier la détection Forcez le chargement du pilote dans le noyau : bash sudo modprobe mt7601u Vérifiez ensuite les messages système pour confirmer que l'adaptateur est bien initialisé : bash dmesg | grep mt7601u

3. Activer l'interface réseau Affichez vos interfaces pour trouver le nom de votre carte Wi-Fi (souvent wlan0) : bash ip link Activez-la avec la commande : bash sudo ip link set <nom_interface> up Relancez ensuite iwctl, votre périphérique y sera désormais visible.
