Nedly Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I've not had much luck finding forums for support in Qubes. I am having troubles with USB WIFI. Even after going through the instructions (enable qvm-usb, create and start sys-usb VM, create sys-wifi VM, attach USB Wifi to sys-wifi VM).....something is not quite right. My wireless shows in dom0. I can attach it to sys-wifi. When I do, it says it is attached, and another network icon pops up in the toolbar, but when I list the USB all I get is a second 'root hub'. It is attaching the USB, but sys-wifi is not recognizing that it is a wifi card. I also tried adding the 'settings' application to sys-wifi, sys-usb, etc, and then using the 'System Settings' to enter the network module, however it only shows my ethernet connections. Is there a service that I need to attach to sys-wifi for it to recognize the attached USB? Any ideas? I am trying to use an Alpha USB Wifi card in an HP Proliant server with Qubes OS....

Nedly Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Edit: After I attach the USB to sys-wifi, another 'root hub' is added to the lsusb listing, however it no longer says "Ralink Wireless etc...." it simply says 'root hub'..

Nedly Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'm assuming that my sys-wifi is missing a service needed to see the wifi card... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nedly Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Update: I cannot get any VM to recognize the USB device as a Ralink Wireless card outside of sys-usb. In dom0 I can view it using qvm-usb, and I can attach it, but once attached to any (sys-net, sys-firewall, sys-wifi) it only shows up as a root hub and not a Ralink card... I've also tried attaching the sys-usb VM straight to sys-firewall to replace the sys-net, as well as giving sys-usb to sys-net.... Neither sys-net or sys-firewall can recognize the USB..
