I was not going to post this because it has limited use for most TF300T owners but it can't hurt so here it is. The attached file(ath9k.tar.gz) contains kernel modules needed to get AR9271 based usb wifi dongles working on the latest stock TF300T kernel(Asus build 10.4.2.20, kernel version 3.1.10). I have tested the modules with this dongle: TP-Link TL-WN722N.
Uncompress the file and you will get an ath9k directory. Inside are the modules, 2 scripts for easy loading and unloading of the modules, and iwconfig compiled for Android. Getting the dongle working goes something like this:
Su to root. Copy htc_9271.hw to /system/etc/firmware. Run the scripts start_ath9k and stop_ath9k to load and unload the modules.
After the modules are loaded, insert the dongle into the keyboard full size usb port and run ifconfig and iwconfig as needed. If wlan0(default android wifi) is on then iwconfig will show the dongle as wlan1.
Note: I did not post this on the Dev forum because I did not develop these modules...I only changed a few lines in 2 modules before compiling them.

Not very likely...you would need to get your kernel source, add ath9k driver support to the kernel config, then fix any compile errors.

You need the kernel source for your tablet and a way to root your tablet. I did a cursory Google search for the kernel source for your tablet and I can't find it. If you can get the kernel source code for your tablet then it might be possible to compile ath9k modules. If you can't root that tablet then kernel modules won't be useful because there would be no way to load them.

You need the kernel source code from the tablet manufacturer.
Hello! I have source code for my kernel (Nexus 7 4.2.2) and I successful built module cifs.ko and cp210x.ko, but i can't build module ath9_htc. I add in my nexus_defconfig file
CONFIG_ATH_COMMON=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_HW=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_COMMON=m

I had to comment out a few lines of code in 2 modules to get mine to compile. On the TF300T, it has to do with LED code not present in the stock kernel that is referred to in 2 of the modules. If you use my modules on the TF300T, you will get no LED blinking on the WIFI stick when data is transmitted or received.
EDIT: Newegg has an Atheros AR9271 USB stick for $9.99 with a cradle.

HELP!! Need Kernel Module ath9k for GT-N5110 Galaxy Note 8.0
HELP !!!
Could really use some help. For the life of me I can't compile a kernel module driver ath9k for my USB wireless adapter TL-WN722N. So it can be used by insmod on my rooted Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-N5110 on Kernel 3.0.31 Build BMC9 running android 4.1.2. The source code is available at opensource.samsung. and is listed as the GT-N5110 NA (north america) model. If some one could help me please? I would be forever in your debt... :good:

hi I am getting some problem with this attach file, i decompressed it and got the directory. but what are the next stapes ? sorry but i am not getting that part to copy to system/etc/firmware. will u make clear the process stapewise?
Sorry for bothering this old thread. I'm trying to get this to work on my OnePlus 3 running Oxygen OS Nougat. I installed Linux on my phone and I would like to install the TP-LINK drivers on it as the inbuilt WiFi module on my phone does not support monitor mode. I connected this WiFi adapter and trying to get it to work. Please help.
I have a modified franco's M1 kernel for nexus 4 that enables USB OTG in zip format by ziddey http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181820 that guy is a genuis!
i have some compiled kernel modules namely hid-logitech.ko xpad.ko ff-memless.ko for nexus 4 from ziddey's thread above
and i also have some uncompiled(uncompiled for nexus 4) kernel modules(from linux 3.4) required for gamepad support from http://modules.libres.ch/browse/linux/v3.4/arm/
uncompiled modules(.ko files) module sources that need compiling are hid-logitech-dj.ko joydev.ko hid-dr.ko
Here are the sources
hid-dr.c http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/hid/hid-dr.c?v=3.4;a=arm
xpad.c http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/input/joystick/xpad.c?v=3.4;a=arm
ff-memless.c http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/input/ff-memless.c?v=3.4;a=arm
joydev.c http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/input/joydev.c?v=3.4;a=arm
hid-logitech-dj.c http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/hid/hid-logitech-dj.c?v=3.4;a=arm
If someone can please compile the modules for nexus 4 with the above kernel and provide it to me would be very helpful,
those are the modules required for usb gamepad support on nexus 4 with the above modified kernel
I donot have much free space on my HDD to install any linux distro or a VM and so cannot compile it myself, and honestly i am not that good in linux
it would be a blessing if someone could compile the kernel modules for nexus 4 from the source above
Ziddey from the above thread is busy at the time and honestly I feel he should be concentrating on improving the OTG more and that is why i don't feel like bothering him much with this
Much thanks and appreciation in advance
eagerly hoping someone can help :fingers-crossed:
I am posting here asking for help, assistance, coaching.
It seems to me that I have all the pieces to properly modify the Sero 7 Pro ROM to accept ad hoc Wi-Fi connections. I've spent several days trying to find a simple step-by-step guide for applying github patches to existing kernels and flashable ROM. I have come to believe that no such simple guide/aid exists because the process itself appears to be complex.
The Nexus 7 CyanogenMod has been successfully modified for ad hoc Wi-Fi. My research indicates that the Sero 7 and the Nexus 7 are similar enough that the same patches should be able to be applied to the Sero 7 ROM. The Nexus 7 and Sero 7 both:
Use Android Jelly Bean 4.2.X
Have the same processor, 1.3GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3
Use the same Wi-Fi Chip, Broadcom BCM4330
Kernels use the same Driver, Broadcom bcmdhd Version 5.90.195.104
What I have is the kernel source
http://hisense-usa.com/support/firmware/Sero%207%20Pro_kernel_opensource_us.tar.gz
The full Stock ROM, latest version
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=F7DECBA5BB726100%21108
Patches applied to Nexus 7 CyanogenMod ROM with detailed discussion
http://www.thinktube.com/android-tech/46-android-wifi-ibss
Briefly summarizing the discussion and code contained in the above Thinktube webpage:
The Kernel is patched making changes to the bcmdhd Wi-Fi driver
The ROM is patched making changes
to the wpa_supplicant
a few additions to the Android framework and
some changes to the Settings App
So in concept it seems pretty straightforward. Where I am struggling is the whole github process of applying the patch to the Kernel source. Then compiling the modified Kernel source. And applying the remaining patches to the ROM with the newly modified Kernel.
I need someone willing to work with me on the github piece. Or alternately coach me through that process.
So the resounding lack of response tells me either I've posted on the wrong forum or it is indeed as complex and cumbersome as I suspected.
But I may have figured out how to accomplish it myself. I have NOT figured out the github process. But I do know a little Linux and do run a virtual Ubuntu machine.
So I :
1. manually modified the Broadcom bcmdhd in the kernel source line by line.
2. swapped the wpa_supplicant file in the Sero7 stock ROM with the one from the Nexus 7 CyanogenMod ROM.
3. extracted the needed sero7_defconfig and initramfs.cpio.gz files
4. compiled the modified kernel source code and created a new boot.img
5. inserted the new boot.img to complete the modification of the Stock ROM
And if this all works, I’ll post my fix in a new thread, perhaps “Sero 7 Pro hoc Wi-Fi Fix”

Oh boy! I've been waiting to hear if someone got the ad-hoc going on the Sero 7 Pro. I've posted asking for help doing this too but never seemed to get a working answer. Did you get yours working and if so could you please post the wpa_supplicant file for the Sero? I would sure like to wifi tether to the Sero. It's the only device I have that doesn't see my phone's wifi.
Thanks a bunch!

Hi,
my only goal is to use my Nexus 7 (2013 version, running kitkat) to view digital television (dvb-t).
Therefore, have I unlocked it (with complete erase grrr), then rooted it.
And finally, read about one hundred message threads on xda to know how to compile dvb modules for my kernel (3.4.0-gac9222c).
My problem, after all this work, is that it seems that Google did not compile its kernel with modules support.
After doing
# lsmod, I got the following error:
/proc/modules: No such file or directory.
This means apparently that there is no modules support for this kernel.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18818442/loading-kernel-modules-in-android-4-3
My 2 questions is the following:
(1) is it possible to flash a kernel image on my nexus 7 to get module support
(2) is it possible to do that without reflashing my ROM (my stock ROM is enough for my needs)
Cheers,
Louis
I am now in the process of recompiling my own kernel for my Nexus 7 2013, incorporating the DVB-T drivers that I need.
I found a very good tutorial for doing this: http://pete.akeo.ie/2013/10/compiling-and-running-your-own-android.html
The only problem is that the sources of dvb usb drivers in the Android kernel are not up-to-date.
I am searching an easy way to inject the last sources from git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git into the Android kernel?
The directory structure is different. I think i will be forced to update the Makefiles and the Kconfig files by hand, and add & replace .c and .h files manually. I someone has a better (more lazy) solution, I am interrested :victory:
Meanwhile, I play with an old Freecom usb DVB-T stick that is supported by old media sources in the Android kernel.
Wrong forum, here is the 2013 model's one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7-2013
Hi all,
I have compiled the kernel SM-A500M_LATIN_LL_Opensource.zip from Samsung Opensource and generated an image using a ramdisk from a stock Kernel. I was able to flash it to the device and start Android, the problem is that Wifi is not working. On the stock kernel I found the module /system/lib/wlan.ko but on my Kernel's build drivers directory there are no wireless drivers compiled. I cannot use the stock wlan.ko on my custom Kernel since I need to compile it with my sources. I tried to search on /proc and /sys the exact chipset but no success. Anyone can help me with finding and compiling the proper driver for wifi on SM-A500m, please?
Thanks in advance

I went kitesurfing with my A5 in the pocket, it is no more. I had found a qualcomm prima driver that looked like it was it but now I can't test it anymore.
