working with Wireless WUSB54GCv3 adapter

Actually, if you update the kernel, you should only need to run the make and make install commands again. You have already done all of the other changes.

Thanks for your valuable help. Now I remember each and every step.
Yes, I have to check it on new kernel. But it will take some time.

Once again, Thanks you!

Best Regards,

Oops. .

I can work only in infrastructure mode but not in adhoc mode. Is there any specific setting to do to get connected to a adhoc network?

Thanks

You would have to change the configuration file in the /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat folder. That was the file that didn't get installed correctly, and you had to manually do it. Check out the README_STA_usb file in the driver source folder. It says this:

Configuration File : RT2870STA.dat
---------------------------------------
# Copy this file to /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat
# This file is a binary file and will be read on loading rt.o module.
#
# Use "vi RT2870STA.dat" to modify settings according to your need.
#
# 1.) set NetworkType to "Adhoc" for using Adhoc-mode, otherwise using Infrastructure

So, open it with root permissions:

gksu gedit /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat

Change this:

NetworkType=Infra

To this:

NetworkType=Adhoc

Save and exit the file. Reload the module, or just reboot.

You may also be able to do this with a command. You will need to know the name given to your wireless. running the iwconfig command should show this. It could be wlan0, ra0 or eth1. Then you could try this:

sudo iwconfig ra0 mode ad-hoc

I have tried the same, but couldn't succeed.

Still intent in dismissing NDiswrapper? Savook could've been up and running already. But, sometimes practical and philosophy don't see eye to eye. Well, I'll take my leave, this has gone too heady for my taste. Good luck.

OK, I'll bite.
It's your turn to help him and I'll remain silent.

FYI, The wireless is working fine. It's the Ad-Hoc mode that he wants enabled.
