Hello,
can you advise me whether either of these wifi card work
AR5B91 (AzureWave), Atheros AR5BXB63, BCM94313HMG, BCM94312HMG, REALTEK RTL8187B.
possibly with what package?

Thank you Andrew

you can look up all those chipsets at https://wikidevi.com/ and see what linux driver you can use

but may i ask what you’re trying to achieve? all those cards seem to be rather old (-ish)… i would advise against using ath5k or broadcrap :wink:

I wanted to use one of the cards that I have here in my service could start as soon as the router.
primary for me so far as temperatures cooling plates appear to be high.
(Seeking pins on the fan and adjusts cooling .spectatot not give me the CPU temperature but matherboardu so I deal with a permanent connection of the external probe)
secondary working to produce a designated Case

Some manual how to install other card drivers will be great.
Is possible to install and use wifi card Gemtek WMIB-275N from my old laptop ?

Manual how i install my card:

  1. opkg update //update packages

  2. opkg install pciutils //utility to show PCIE cards

  3. lspci // command to show cards
    Output :

02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n (
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Gemtek_WMIB-275N_(HP) //Find driver BCM43*

  1. https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/wireless.overview there is name of package for OpenVRT

  2. opkg install kmod-b43 /drivers install

  3. reboot / reboot

  4. Login to LuCi to setup wifi

edit:
when i use “wifi detect” in ssh, output is empty.
in LuCi i can create wifi and can connect user to this SSID
speed test of this connection is between 1 and 11 Mbit /s but card should be n standard.
when i want to try somethink in settings wlan, result is
500 - Internal Server Error
and after that i can´t connect to wifi.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this issue ?

wifi detect will only show unconfigured wifi subsystems so it is fine that your new card does not show up anymore

you could try to edit the wireless config manually, some proprietary wifi cards/drivers/firmware variants are not that compatible with luci

Unfortunately, I had the same problem with this wifi card
