I just got a Mister board recently. Pretty much everything working so far, over an ethernet line.

I'm trying to setup a usb wifi adapter. I downloaded the driver source. But when I go to the linux prompt on Mister it tells me the "make" command doesn't exist. I don't see it in /usr/bin. Neither is apt-get etc.

I've read this is an embedded linux rather than the full thing, but isn't there a way to run or install make? I see gcc is listed in the /proc/version.

Any help appreciated.

As long as the adapter is supported, you don't need to build a driver. Just run the wifi script.

D-Link DWA-171 HWVer: C1 / USB ID 0bda:1a2b does NOT work out of the box

Anyone can help me to solve this?
I have a usb wifi with this USB ID1a2b but wifi script dont works, just appears "Press any key to continue" and goes back to default Mister screen.
I already located and edited the file wpa_supplicant.conf with the correct SSID and pass but to no avail... the wifi icon dont appear on top, only ethernet cable works for now.

Best bet is to find an adapter that works and jut use that. They’re very cheap, from memory the one I got from Terasic was $5-15 or so.

Imho mister is an appliance and dirtying it up with c compilers, source code, etc. and having to recompile your wifi module every time the kernel gets updated is just going to be ongoing pain you could solve for $peanuts
