This PR fixes an issue where 8812eu WiFi adapters (USB ID
0bda:a81a) were detected bylsusbbut not functional withiwconfigon gk7205v200 FPV firmware builds.Problem
Users reported that after updating to the latest gk7205v200-nor-fpv.tgz firmware, their 8812eu WiFi adapters stopped working. The adapters were detected by the system but the wireless interface was not available because the required driver module was missing from the firmware.
Root Cause
The gk7205v200 FPV configuration only included the
BR2_PACKAGE_RTL8812AU_OPENIPCdriver package, which supports 8812au adapters but not 8812eu variants. The 8812eu adapters require theBR2_PACKAGE_RTL88X2EU_OPENIPCdriver package.Solution
Added 8812eu driver support: Included
BR2_PACKAGE_RTL88X2EU_OPENIPC=yin the gk7205v200 FPV configuration to build the 8812eu driver module.Created device-specific directory: Added
devices/gk7205v200_fpv/with complete build structure so the build system can apply device-specific customizations.Added USB wireless auto-detection: Created
/etc/wireless/usbscript that automatically detects the connected adapter type and loads the appropriate driver:0bda:a81a→ loads8812eudriver0bda:8812,0bda:881a,0b05:17d2,2357:0101,2604:0012→ loads8812audriverFiles Changed
devices/common/br-ext-chip-goke/configs/gk7205v200_fpv_defconfig- Added 8812eu driver packagedevices/gk7205v200_fpv/- New device directory with USB wireless management scriptThe firmware will now automatically support both 8812au and 8812eu WiFi adapters without any user intervention.
Fixes #61.
