Ubuntu 9.10 + WUSB100v2 [Solved]

[waterhead]

Have you rebooted since installing the new driver? If not, please do!

Also, then post the outputs of these commands:

lsmod
dmesg
ifconfig
iwconfig

Pls find the requested files attached.
1. dmesg.txt is too large to upload. Is there something in particular to grep for?
2. iwconfig.txt is 0 bytes.

The rt3070sta driver is not loading. Did you modify it to add your wireless ID to the driver? This needs to be done first.

I also see the ndiswrapper module loading. If you aren't using it, you need to blacklist it. It will interfere with the Ralink driver.

Good news. The device appeared in the network config. I needed:
insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt3070sta.ko

Is there a file in /etc so I don't have to repeat this command?

Usually just using modprobe is enough. With modprobe you only need to give the module name.

Have you tried it with only modprobe? You may need to run the depmod command, that should help it load automatically. (as root)

depmod -a

1. Now, after startup, network connections lists wireless and lists available local networks, of which
mine is one.
2. I can connect to my wireless network.
3. However, there is no internet access thru the router.
4. I can get internet access if I bypass the router with a wire.

After getting the wireless to work, did you configure it in the "Network: GUI as I outlined previously?

In the Network setup GUI, you may need to enter the default gateway. This would be the IP address of your router.

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.

And PLEASE start your own thread! This thread was started by someone else, and you tagged your problem on to it. That is usually not allowed.

Can anyone post a compiled Version of the Driver?
Thanks
