https://youtu.be/Fog7OncKMQY?si=ceiGfbd83zwDTwji I own the exact network adapter as the guy in this video, but I cant seem to get it to work. My router doesnt support wifi and I tried adding "# Enable Ethernet dtoverlay=enc28j60" to my config.txt file but after connecting to my router nothing showed up in my router client list

Please add a URL to the network adapter

And that module uses SPI if I remember correctly, so have you added dtparam=spi=on also?

kkurd

I bought it second hand but this is the exact same i found on amazon https://www.amazon.com/DORHEA-ENC28J60-Ethernet-Network-Raspberry/dp/B09MMY7L7S

kkurd

this?

kkurd

or should i add the #

oops.se

Please post text as text.

kkurd

... # Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces #dtparam=i2c_arm=on #dtparam=i2s=on dtparam=spi=on

oops.se

That is unformated text

Whats the output from lsmod | egrep '(enc28|spi)'

kkurd

Where can I find that?

kkurd

i cant find lsmod in the config file

oops.se

lsmod is a command

oops.se

And when I ask you to read something I assume you will.

kkurd

im unable to run commands on my raspberry since im not connected to it

kkurd

im sorry, this is my first time working with a raspberry haha

oops.se

And how do you expect to get it working?

kkurd

If I can make the ethernet port work i should be able to control it with my laptop right?

I mean I see where your coming from but unnecessary

k9t33n

what router doesn't allow WiFi? that means you cant connect more than half of the devices to exist

k9t33n

also you can probably get some ethernet to WiFi adapter

kkurd

ill try to connect it to my home router that does have wifi

k9t33n

ok

You need to connect a display and keyboard to troubleshoot and make changes.

kkurd

i connected a display and ordered some usb adapters, I will try it when those arrive
