WiFi driver problem RT8712u - 02/24/17 07:02 PM

I have Open Pli v22 installed on my DM800SE Japhar sim and i cannot install driver for my wi fi antenna RT8712u.
When i try to install it through Japhar addon manager in section "driver for dm800se" i got message: cannot satisfy dependencies for r8712u: kernel 2.6.18-7.4-dm800se.

In previous versions of open pli my wi fi worked fine.

Vujo1981,

Drivers are built-in the OpenPLi 4.0 IPTV, OpenBlackHole IPTV and DE-OpenBlackHole 1.5 IPTV images. You must not install any driver as it's already in the image.

Also when you install a driver you MUST install only the one that was built for that image, you cannot use drivers from other images, and for sure not from other OE as well.

So now you need to reflash the image, better the v21/v21a, as the v22 had a bug on the Enigma2 for Wifi, or wait for the v23 that has that fixed.

Your Wifi will then be automatically found (on v21/v21a as well as v22), but will work 100% on v21/v21a or next v23. v22 will recognize it but will not be able to communicate with the AP.
