rt3070sta: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel... SOLVED

[waterhead]

There is a problem when compiling the Ralink RT3070USB(RT307x) driver version 2.3.0.1, released 02/08/2010. When you manually load the module, you get this error:

FATAL: Error inserting rt3070sta (/lib/modules/2.6.31.12-174.2.19.fc12.i686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt3070sta.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

In the output of dmesg, you see these errors:

rt3070sta: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
rt3070sta: Unknown symbol usb_alloc_urb
rt3070sta: Unknown symbol usb_free_urb
rt3070sta: Unknown symbol usb_register_driver
rt3070sta: Unknown symbol usb_put_dev
rt3070sta: Unknown symbol usb_get_dev
rt3070sta: Unknown symbol usb_submit_urb
rt3070sta: Unknown symbol usb_control_msg
rt3070sta: Unknown symbol usb_deregister
rt3070sta: Unknown symbol usb_kill_urb
rt3070sta: Unknown symbol usb_buffer_free
rt3070sta: Unknown symbol usb_buffer_alloc

I found that this error is because of a missing reference to the driver 'license'. In this version of the driver, the device ID's have been moved from the usb_main_dev.c file to the rtusb_dev_id.c file. They also moved this line:

MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

I found that simply adding this line back into the usb_main_dev. file, fixed this error.

Here is what you need to do:


Open this file in a text editor

/RT3070_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.1_20100208/os/linux/usb_main_dev.c

Change this:

#include "rt_config.h"


// Following information will be show when you run 'modinfo'
// *** If you have a solution for the bug in current version of driver, please mail to me.
// Otherwise post to forum in ralinktech's web site(www.ralinktech.com) and let all users help you. ***
MODULE_AUTHOR("Paul Lin <paul_lin@ralinktech.com>");
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("RT2870 Wireless Lan Linux Driver");
#ifdef CONFIG_STA_SUPPORT
#ifdef MODULE_VERSION
MODULE_VERSION(STA_DRIVER_VERSION);
#endif
#endif // CONFIG_STA_SUPPORT //

To this:

#include "rt_config.h"


// Following information will be show when you run 'modinfo'
// *** If you have a solution for the bug in current version of driver, please mail to me.
// Otherwise post to forum in ralinktech's web site(www.ralinktech.com) and let all users help you. ***
MODULE_AUTHOR("Paul Lin <paul_lin@ralinktech.com>");
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("RT2870 Wireless Lan Linux Driver");
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
#ifdef CONFIG_STA_SUPPORT
#ifdef MODULE_VERSION
MODULE_VERSION(STA_DRIVER_VERSION);
#endif
#endif // CONFIG_STA_SUPPORT //

You are adding the 'MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");' line, that is highlighted in red.

There is one other problem. The compile looks for a RT3070STA.dat file, but there is a RT2870STA.dat file instead. Fix that with this command:

cp RT2870STA.dat RT3070STA.dat

Recompile the driver and load it. Let me know if it now works for you.

This is a relatively untested fix. Feedback on how it is/isn't working is appreciated. Some will still need to add the USD ID's of their wireless devices before it will work. To do that, open this file for editing:

sudo gedit ~/RT3070_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.1_20100208/common/rtusb_dev_id.c

Add your device ID to the list, just above this:

#endif // RT3070 //
	{ }/* Terminating entry */
};

Use a tab for the space before your entry. Save, exit and build the driver.

I confirm this works for me on debian sid, kernel 2.6.32-3-amd64.
Thanks.It got my wireless working. ( ID 07d1:3c0a D-Link System DWA-140 RangeBooster N USB Adapter(rev.B2) )

Thanks.

Hello dontstopmoving, and welcome to Linux Forums!

Thank you for your feedback on this. I was begining to wonder if anyone was trying my fix.

Ralink released a new version of this driver on 04/12/2010:

DPO_RT3070_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.2_20100412

It still has all of the problems of version 2.3.0.1, so I don't know what is new about it. You need to still do all of the things that I outlined in my first post.

Ralink corp.

I can also confirm this works in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid using the latest 2.3.0.2_20100412 driver from April 12, 2010.

I am using the Rosewill RNX-EasyN1 USB Adapter on an AMD 64-bit system.

Thanks for the tips.

[waterhead]

Thanks for the feedback.

Oh, and Welcome to Linux Forums.org!!

[bedhead75]

I'm also using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid (64-bit) and I'm getting errors when compiling the 2.3.0.2_20100412 driver from April 12, 2010 at the "sudo make" step. I've followed all of the above changes and I have the package "build-essential" installed. Did you need any other packages installed? How how did you get it to work without errors during the make step?

[waterhead]

bedhead75: Please post the error messages, so we can help to determine the cause.

[bedhead75]

Ok, running I made all of the above changes, and my device ID was already in the list so I didn't need to add it. This is the output of "sudo make":

It finishes, but there are a bunch of worrisome warnings as you can see.

I have no problems running "sudo make install" after.

After rebooting and plugging in my USB adapter, the device is listed in network manager as "disconnected".

The dmesg output is as follows:

The device is assigned the interface of wlan2, and "sudo ifconfig wlan2 up" doesn't work and it's still listed as "disconnected" in the network manager.

Any help is appreciated!
