Nexus 6p Nethunter External WiFi Card
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Device: Nexus 6p
OS version (KitKat/Lollipop/Marshmallow/Nougat): 7 - Nougat
I have nethunter (angler) image installed on my Nexus 6p with the kernel zip file installed also (android 7 Nougat). However, when i try to attach an external WiFi card, there is no sign of any wlan1 or new interface. When I run dmesg , it shows that a usb has been plugged in with the company name and firmware etc but never starts wlan1. I have tried this with many WiFi cards and vendors such as:
- Realtek
- Ralink
- Alfa Atheros
Here is the output when i plug in my Alfa Atheros:
etc. Any help would be much appreciated

Any Help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
@kimocoder - you've got one of these, don't you?
Yes but haven't tested the modules on 7.1.1. it is reported working.
More output, eg "iwconfig" and "airmon-ng" would be great.
And remember, use "monstart.sh" and it has to be loaded with "modprobe" and/or "ifconfig wlan1" i think it was
@kimocoder coming from unwilling ignorance, I would think his best bet would be to drop in the wifi adapter settings, even if it comes from the Magisk module, but that's just ignoring what the log clearly shows.
Still @petrexxy I would urge you to consider flashing the new kernel for angler (yes, it's for Oreo, but even assuming you don't want to upgrade to something that somewhat difficult to compromise,, the Oreo kernel should be safe....especially since your) wlan0 is going to be your packet injection adapter, not wlan1.
For my nexus 5, apres nexmon, in order to get the fucker to even react to the adapter, I had to reflash drivers for the chipsets, which was huge and counter intuitive. By flash, I mean manually producing the zip, almost entirely without reference to the Magisk module claiming to help automate the wlan1 up drivers and flashing through TWRP
Also, the reason your device is showing up.. Nm, I'll just post the link to it. Essentially, beyond modprobing, you're gonna want to dynamically link the adapter. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/234315/rt5572-shown-in-lsusb-but-not-iwconfig
@Almaincognito the nethunter marshmallow kernel worked when flashed. All external devices come up and the WiFi card works perfectly. I guess it's just that then. Thanks for the help!
I just pushed a working Nexus 6P Android 8 kernel with working kernel modules..
