sorry I'm new to all of this, so I'm after some help from the experts.

I've installed Ubuntu on the raspberry pi 4 and it boots and everything is working well from a device side.

But I have a USB Wifi dongle that I need to connect so I can set it up as an access point to run some tests.

The dongle is visible in lsusb but it isn't visible anywhere else;

I presum the hardware is blocked and thats why it's not coming up and visible in lshw but thats just a guess.

I did also wonder if the issue was drivers, but if I go to the driver GUI in the desktop it suggests that there are no drivers to install.

Can anyone help at all?

For info-

not sure what else you will need to know.

  • I suppose a follow up to this question is if I get this working any suggestions on how to configure the AP portion as I have been struggling with this in RasPi and thats why I moved to the Ubuntu build option. – CmdCarlisle Oct 05 '22 at 15:02
  • According to this https://askubuntu.com/questions/457061/ralink-mt7601u-148f7601-wi-fi-adapter-installation the old chipset should just work now with any current Ubuntu release. – ChanganAuto Oct 05 '22 at 15:50
