Topic: Use Ethernet USB Dongle for WAN connection

The content of this topic has been archived on 9 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

check kmod-usb-net* packages

You must have USB Basic Support installed and configured first.

Then you continue with this:

opkg update
opkg install kmod-usb-net-pegasus

After installing the kmod-usb-net-pegasus package and it's dependencies you can look into 'dmesg' and see if your USB network adapter got detected. Also check output of 'ifconfig -a'.

If it got detected you can start to configure a new WAN section in /etc/config/network which is using your USB network adapter (Wiki: Network configuration)

Report if it works or if you need further help.
