wusb100 assistance

[phpete48]

1. I managed to get the wusb100 working correctly for a few days.
2. At that time, I was also getting a yum update error:
Running rpm_check_debug
ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
kernel-uname-r = 2.6.27.41-170.2.117.fc10.i686 is needed by (installed) kmod-rt2870-2.6.27.41-170.2.117.fc10.i686-2.1.2.0-4.fc10.1.i686
kernel-uname-r = 2.6.27.41-170.2.117.fc10.i686 is needed by (installed) kmod-ndiswrapper-2.6.27.41-170.2.117.fc10.i686-1.53-5.fc10.33.i686
3. Based on a newsgroup posting, I did 'rpm -e' for
a) kmod-rt2870-2.6.27.41-170.2.117.fc10.i686-2.1.2.0-4.fc10.1.i686
b) kmod-ndiswrapper-2.6.27.41-170.2.117.fc10.i686-1.53-5.fc10.33.i686
4. This corrected the yum error and allowed kernel 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686
to download.
5. After I rebooted, the wusb100 stopped working.
6. Then I did a 'make clean', 'make', 'make install' on the download
from ralink corp. (with the changes discussed previously).
7. 'ralink' did not appear as a device on the Network Manager.
8. 'yum installed' 'rt3070-2.1.1.0-3.fc12.1.noarch' and 'rt2870-2.1.2.0-2.fc12.1.noarch'.
9. Neither installation loaded the module.
10. 'insmod /lib/modules/2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686/extra/rt3070/rt3070sta.ko'
loaded the module but ralink did not show up as a device.
11. 'insmod /lib/modules/2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686/extra/rt2870/rt2870sta.ko'
displays insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686/extra/rt2870/rt2870sta.ko': -1 Device or resource busy

It looks like you were using a ndiswrapper package meant for Fedora 10. If you lost you wireless after removing it, then you must have been using ndiswrapper for your wireless, and not the rt2870 driver.

With ndiswrapper removed, try using the rt2870 driver again.

Ok. what I did was:
1. rmmod ndiswrapper
2. insmod /lib/modules/2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686/extra/rt2870/rt2870sta.ko
This produced:
insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686/extra/rt2870/rt2870sta.ko': -1 Device or resource busy

Let's start fresh. Please post the output of the script from the Wireless Setup - Start Here sticky.

This will give us some info to go on.

[phpete48]

2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686
Pls refer to the attach files in this and the next reply.

thx.,
pete.

[phpete48]

dmesg files are attached.

[waterhead]

Thank you, but it is very difficult to get a picture of the system, when you post it that way. I would prefer you follow the instructions, and use Code Tags. You then wouldn't have to split it into several disjointed text files!

Also, running the script is preferred, as there is some info that is covered that you missed.

Still, I see a few things:

1) You still have SELinux enabled. Please disable it completely.
2) Ndiswrapper is still loading. Uninstall and blacklist the damn thing!
3) I see the rt3070sta module loading, but you report trying to load the rt2870sta driver. Why?

[phpete48]

The first two items are now done.
With the rt3070sta loaded, the device does not appear within the NetworkManager.

[waterhead]

Did you configure it in the "Network" GUI ?

[phpete48]

I didn't configure the device with the Network Gui, but a device named ra0 wireless appears there.
It is listed as "inactive" and the "activate" button is greyed out.
