trying to install mt7610u (linksys ae6000)

[greenbag]

hahaha Getting bored and wants to play.

I added the Canadian mirrors to my /etc/apt/sources.list.. I guess I could have added the Main instead, but basically just wanted to add the sources listed on Jessie page.. they had 2 more than just the Main you had. It said it covered the arm as well. After that, apt-cache search firmware showed linux-firmware-nonfree. But it errored out.

The package though, is firmware-linux-nonfree_0.43_all.deb.

Too bad there wasn't an "alien --to-arm" or "alien --to-rpi2" command.

Code:

9. Canada Mirror

# /etc/apt/sources.list :

deb http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

Architecture:

I think I know why it works in Ubuntu, and won't install in XBian. Ubuntu's still using 3.13, and XBian's using 4.1x.

Code:

greenbag@lotusland:~$ uname -a
Linux lotusland 3.13.0-77-generic

Crap.
