installing WiFi card
Hello,
I have just instlalled OMV6. It works.
I would like to use the wifi PCI card that isphysical plugged in the hardware configuration. The card is this one: https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/usb-adapter/archer-tx20e/
I tried to add an interface from the OMV6 GUI but the wifi device does not appear. Thinking of it and looking for it on the Internet, it seems that I need to install the card driver under debian as a root.
Thus I tried some things but I have got issues with package interactions:
- dkms package
- rtwc89
I am pausing my effort and listening to this community. I can ran any debian linux command as root from the OMV6 SSH interface.
Anyone could help me ?
Thanks

Whenever I need to change the network configuration I find it much easier to do via CLI. You can access the CLI via SSH or just plug in KVM.
From the CLI, execute omv-firstaid. Select "Configure Network Interface". From there it's pretty easy to configure.
You probably don't need to install drivers for the PCI card. Although I do recommend keeping your machine wired for performance and stability reasons.
Not the same problem as the OP but when I click on "Configure Network Interface" it gives me an error saying "No Network Interfaces Found". Can you help me? Already made a post but no response yet.
What it says on the tin. You should investigate why it can't find your network interfaces. A few recommendations:
Make sure it isn't disabled in your BIOS or something. Maybe even update your BIOS.
Try a NIC. You can try a PCI-e card or even just a USB NIC.
In theory this shouldn't matter but maybe try using a different ethernet cable or another port on your switch/router
You really shouldn't need to fuss around with drivers.
I solved it. Formated the sd card and re-installed openmediavault. Then I manually added the network interface on the omv gui. But thx anyways.
Well done.
