To install a USB WiFi driver on your Jetson Orin Nano, you’ll need to follow these steps:

  1. Check the USB WiFi adapter’s chipset: You didn’t mention the specific model of your USB WiFi adapter. However, you can check the chipset by running the command lsusb -v in the terminal. This will list all the USB devices connected to your system, including the WiFi adapter. Look for the “ID” field, which should be in the format “xxxx:xxxx”. This ID will help you identify the chipset.

  2. Search for the driver: Once you have the chipset ID, you can search for the driver. You can use the apt package manager to search for the driver. For example, if your chipset ID is “0bda:8152”, you can run the command apt search 0bda:8152. This will list all the packages that match the chipset ID.

  3. Install the driver: If you find a package that matches your chipset ID, you can install it using the apt package manager. For example, if the package name is “rtl8192eu-dkms”, you can install it by running the command sudo apt install rtl8192eu-dkms.

  4. Blacklist the kernel module: If the driver is not loading automatically, you may need to blacklist the kernel module. You can do this by running the command sudo echo "blacklist rtl8192eu" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. This will prevent the kernel module from loading automatically.

  5. Load the driver module: After installing the driver, you’ll need to load the driver module. You can do this by running the command sudo modprobe rtl8192eu. This will load the driver module.

  6. Configure the WiFi adapter: Once the driver is loaded, you can configure the WiFi adapter using the wpa_supplicant utility. You can create a configuration file using the command sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. This will create a configuration file that you can use to connect to your WiFi network.

Comparison with other Jetson modules: The Jetson Orin Nano is a powerful module that supports a wide range of WiFi adapters. However, the driver installation process may vary depending on the specific module you’re using. For example, the Jetson AGX Orin module may require a different driver installation process.

Troubleshooting: If you’re having trouble installing the driver, you can try the following:

  • Check the kernel version: Make sure you’re running the latest kernel version. You can check the kernel version by running the command uname -r.
  • Check the chipset ID: Make sure you have the correct chipset ID. You can check the chipset ID by running the command lsusb -v.
  • Check the driver version: Make sure you’re installing the correct driver version. You can check the driver version by running the command apt search <driver_name>.

I hope this helps you install the USB WiFi driver on your Jetson Orin Nano. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

hi,
We have the guidance for kernel customization:
Kernel Customization — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide
No data from Joystick Logitech-f710 - #10 by DaneLLL

Would suggest check with the vendor and see if additional kernel config has to be enabled for the module. And then refer to the guidance to rebuild/replace kernel.
