Loading USB WiFi Dongle Driver with just a .ko file - General Questions and Answers

I have a RT3070 WiFi dongle and it's driver, rt2800usb.ko.
I need to load it on an android TV box running CyanogemMod 12 (5.0).
Is the .ko file enough to get the WiFi dongle to work? If yes then
can I get some help doing it?
Thanks

A700 - USB Ethernet module for "AX88179 178A" Chip

I would like to share my work on the A700 Tablet with the USB Ethernet chip "AX88179 178A".
I bought the LevelOne USB-0401 USB 2.0 auf Gigabit Ethernet LAN Adapter
(wrong description on amazon, because it comes with the "AX88179 178A" chip from ASIX with USB 3.0)
Module for A700 latest stock rom: View attachment ax88179_178a_stock.zip
- The adapter worked, but the majority of apps were not able to find the internet connection. So i moved to CM 10.2 with success.
Module for A700 CM 10.2: View attachment ax88179_178a_cm102.zip
- copy the module to /system/lib/modules/
- to load the module after every boot:
- open "/system/bin/sysinit"​- and add:​su
insmod /system/lib/modules/ax*​- save sysinit​

Ethernet using OTG

Hi,
I would like to connect my J7 (2016) using a LAN connection with the supported OTG.
I see that the J7 has OTG hardware support, as it can read an external flash drive. It appears to be missing the support for Ethernet over USB in the kernel (i.e. no network stack connected to the USB driver).
Is there a kernel version or ROM that has this support?
Thanks
p.s. I know that this question was already asked (OTG RJ45 J7 support) but there was no answer there
any solution? i'm interested in "no root" solution.
Thanks in advance,
Its possible with custom kernal but we dont have supported one ?

Looking for kernel module cdc_acm (ttyacm/ttyacm0)

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to get support for an USB CDC ACM device on my OnePlus 6 with OxygenOS 9.0.9.
If I plug in the USB device it is correctly detected but the driver is missing. (On my linux box, the kernel module cdc_acm is loaded and I can connect via the device /dev/ttyACM0).
I did not find an offered kernel which supports my goal. So I suspect such a kernel does not exist. Perhaps some kernel provider could add this support?
Or would it be possible to compile the module on my own? Any help or link welcome!
Thank you very much.

Ethernet / LAN support on Redmi Note 7 Pro

Hi all,
I would like to ask question regarding Ethernet / LAN support on RN7Pro device.
Currently, I tried use brand UGreen Ethernet Gigabit + USB 3.0 Hub with USB Type C converter.
However, my device ( MIUI EU beta rom 9.12.12 , Kernel 4.14.81-perf+) not detect the LAN connection when plugged in.
I've tried use on other android device (mibox 3 - tv box), it works fine.

Is there any solution to let this LAN/Ethernet works fine with RN7pro devices?
Is this related to ROM or Kernel on device?
Appreciate input from you guys.
Not sure about wired connection, but I have no problem connecting from wifi to LAN. Are you trying to connect to a Windows PC, laptop?

What do you mean by "WiFi To LAN". The OP asks if it's possible to use a Ethernet to Type C adaptor on the Redmi Note 7 Pro.

The stock kernel of RN7Pro does not include (or not enabled) drivers for Ethernet connectivity.
However, custom rom for example, https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-11-violet-pixel-experience-stable-official.4200603/ has ethernet support in the kernel dtbo. And ethernet worked fine for me on this ROM.
Ethernet is a healthy option instead of having wifi radiation around, at least for some satisfaction.
PS|: Please be warned that one must OEM unlock (First in developer settings and then in fastboot, Using MI flash unlock tool) the device to be able to install custom rom. Otherwise device may get bricked.
