Pineapple doesn't recognize my wifi adapters

[Jonathan-R23]

Hi there,

Hoping you are going well, in this case, I've built wifi pineapple nano for western N750, that is on the lis of devices available, by following the instructions:

1. I've installed the Openwrt factory image from the official web page https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.7/targets/ath79/generic/openwrt-19.07.7-ath79-generic-wd_mynet-n750-squashfs-factory.bin
2. I built the WiFiPineapple
   tools/builder.sh mips nano imagebuilder/19.07.7-ath79-generic wd_mynet-n750
   The only warnings that I had in this process were:
   WARNING: Extractor.execute failed to run external extractor 'sasquatch -p 1 -le -d 'squashfs-root-0' '%e'': [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'sasquatch', 'sasquatch -p 1 -le -d 'squashfs-root-0' '%e'' might not be installed correctly WARNING: Extractor.execute failed to run external extractor 'sasquatch -p 1 -be -d 'squashfs-root-0' '%e'': [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'sasquatch', 'sasquatch -p 1 -be -d 'squashfs-root-0' '%e'' might not be installed correctly 1598844 0x18657C Squashfs filesystem, little endian, version 4.0, compression:xz, size: 13619288 bytes, 2541 inodes, blocksize: 262144 bytes, created: 2020-02-27 21:05:12
   But it successfully generated the files, one of them openwrt-19.07.7-ath79-generic-wd_mynet-n750-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin and I've updated the Openwrt with that file.
3. I successfully logged to the pinapple dashboard but I had problems with the wifi adapters, by looking the logs with dmesg | grep ath9k I found the following errors:
   [ 11.736455] ath9k 18100000.wmac: Direct firmware load for ath9k-eeprom-ahb-18100000.wmac.bin failed wit h error -2 [ 11.746921] ath9k 18100000.wmac: Falling back to user helper [ 16.589432] firmware ath9k-eeprom-ahb-18100000.wmac.bin: firmware_loading_store: map pages failed [ 16.599132] ath: phy0: Unable to load EEPROM file ath9k-eeprom-ahb-18100000.wmac.bin [ 16.607048] ath9k 18100000.wmac: failed to initialize device [ 16.612865] ath9k: probe of 18100000.wmac failed with error -22 [ 16.625350] ath9k 0000:00:00.0: Direct firmware load for ath9k-eeprom-pci-0000:00:00.0.bin failed with error -2 [ 16.635655] ath9k 0000:00:00.0: Falling back to user helper [ 16.868124] firmware ath9k-eeprom-pci-0000:00:00.0.bin: firmware_loading_store: map pages failed [ 16.877738] ath: phy1: Unable to load EEPROM file ath9k-eeprom-pci-0000:00:00.0.bin [ 16.885569] ath9k 0000:00:00.0: Failed to initialize device [ 16.891306] ath9k: probe of 0000:00:00.0 failed with error -22

So, I'm stuck with this problem, hoping you can help me, I will appreciate a lot.

I had to use this to successfully build. For some reason it's not available through package repositories. You may need to spin up a vm or container with ubuntu 22.04.
