Closed: Wifi not detected on TAILS (1 Viewer)

[Miz Redavni]

I currently have TAILS running on my Asus TP500L series.

My Netwok controller is a MEDIATEK 7630.

And rfkill unblock all isn't working in terminal.

Any suggestions on how to fix this issue with no internet access(because wireless isn't working which is the point of this thread and I have no extra Ethernet cables)?

is the card working as intended?

ifconfig -a

will show you active/inactive interfaces

there should be some thing related to eth0 and/or wlan and lo

not sure of how supportive tails is to that network card but that'd be my first step to see if there are interfaces.

if not you may need to find drivers and move them to the tails machine.

"bash: ifconfig-a: command not found"

does

ip a

work?

not used to seeing something without ifconfig

 

[Kirbz]

aslo make sure netwroking is on

/etc/init.d/networking restart

theres a few ways to do the above

sometimes just

service network start/stop/restart works too . obviously depends on versions

Pretty sure the next part isn't to be shared. So a tiny bit has been cut from my quote.

Nope.

The command you were asked to type is "ifconfig -a" that does not equal "ifconfig-a"

Additionally, I would wonder why you are trying to run TAILS in the first place.

What specific application or usage requirement do you have that makes it so you need to run that?

There are probably a few other more actively maintained solutions that would not have a driver or compatibility issue with your hardware.

Thanks,
