Atmel at76c503, at76c505, at76c505a devices
This page describes how to enable support for WiFi devices based on Atmel at76x USB chipsets on Debian systems.
Contents
at76c50x-usb is a mac80211 port of the at76_usb driver, supporting 802.11b USB wireless LAN devices based on Atmel at76c503, at76c505 and at76c505a chipsets. It is part of the Linux kernel since version 2.6.30. Supported devices are listed at the end of this page.
Non-free firmware is required, which can be provided by installing the atmel-firmware package.
For assistance with Atmel PCI or PCMCIA wireless devices, see the atmel_pci and atmel_cs pages respectively.
Installation
Firmware is required to be installed for device operation:
Add a "non-free" component to /etc/apt/sources.list, for example:
# Debian 7 "Wheezy" deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
Update the list of available packages and install the atmel-firmware package:
# apt-get update && apt-get install atmel-firmware
Connect the device to your system. The at76c50x-usb kernel module is automatically loaded for supported devices.
Configure your wireless interface as appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Examine the kernel ring buffer (dmesg(1)) to verify required firmware files are being loaded by the driver. If requested firmware is not available, no wireless interface will be created.
Ensure the atmel-firmware package is installed, then reconnect the device to your system.
Known Issues
The at76c50x-usb driver does not support WPA or master mode operation.
Supported Devices
The page HowToIdentifyADevice/USB explains how to identify a USB device.
The following list is based on the alias fields of modinfo at76c50x-usb in Debian 3.2.0 (3.2.46-1) kernel images.
