[SOLVED] WUSB100

[pcorazao]

I have one of those.
The driver rt2870sta is the driver that works with this card, but the source of the driver lacks the WUSB100's usb id that is necessary for the driver to "detect" this card.
Unfortunately, you will have to get the source, add the usb id (that you get from "lsusb") ,and compile the driver.

I do not recommend this because you will have to manually load the compiled driver (insmod rt2870sta.ko) and do "ifup ra0" on every boot.
Also, the computer will pause at bootup until the Linksys usb is removed.

If you are running kernel 2.6.28 or later then you will have to add this one line and recompile the kernel.

But if you really want to get it to work:

There is a guide for ubuntu for the WUSB100 ver 1 (WUSB ver 2 is the same, but with a usbid of 1737:0078): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1100594

And there is a bug report for ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/350695

Checking my installation, all the files and modules for this item seem to already exist, without resorting to any of the above. It would appear that Texstar has already included support for this in the PCLinuxOS kernels.

[root@fatman ~]# locate rt2870.bin
/lib/firmware/rt2870.bin

[root@fatman ~]# locate rt2870sta

/lib/modules/2.6.32.2-pclos5/kernel/drivers/staging/rt2870/rt2870sta.ko.gz

My guess would be that all that is needed is a proper entry in /etc/modprobe.conf to associate the driver with the device; something on the order of;

alias pci:v000010ECd00008168sv00001458sd0000E000bc02sc00i00 r8169

Thanks,
I think i am all set for the driver to load and work on startup.  I think the problem is the driver is not compiled for my ID 1737:0078

alright this will be a long post here bear with me.

<sub>Before you begin:

make sure you have this package installed from sysnaptic
glibc-headers-devel

also make note of the output for lsusb

The Id may different, i had 1737:0078


1) download the following files from here: http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2
   
RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0.tar.tar.bz2
RT2870_Firmware_V8.zip

   
2) decompress and extract files

bzip2 -d RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0.tar.tar.bz2
tar -xvf RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0.tar.tar
unzip RT2870_Firmware_V8.zip -x

3) modify rt2870sta driver
   
cd RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0
cd common
vi rtusb_dev_id.c

add the following line, between the "#ifdef RT35xx" and "#endif // RT35xx //" in the file "common/rtusb_dev_id.c"

{USB_DEVICE(0x1737,0x0079)}, /*Linksys WUSB100*/

save and close

cd..
cd os
cd linux
vi config.mk

change the following entries from no to yes

# Support Wpa_Supplicant
HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y

# Support Native WpaSupplicant for Network Maganger
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=yls

save and close

cd ..
cd ..
vi MakeFile

ensure that the following lines say STA and LINUX

RT28xx_MODE = STA
TARGET = LINUX:q

4) complie driver

From RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0 directory
run the following commands

sudo make
   
   # To fix "error: too few arguments to function ¡¥iwe_stream_add_event"
     => $patch -i os/linux/sta_ioctl.c.patch os/linux/sta_ioctl.c
   The following Link contains the file on a post.
   Patch: http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=195429
             I am stuck here   

sudo make install

5) install new driver  *must be a root shell
   From RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0 directory
   cp ./rt2870sta.ko /lib/modules/2.6.26.8.tex3/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2870sta.ko
   
   From RT2870_Firmware_V8 directory
   cp ./rt2870.bin /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin
   *note this file is great to review along with the README_STA file that comes with RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0

   vi /etc/modprobe.conf
   ensure the following line is present, if not add it.
   alias ra0 rt2870sta   
   
   create vi /ect/ifcfg-ra0 --Test for PCLinuxOS
      DEVICE='ra0'
      ONBOOT='yes'
      BOOTPROTO='dhcp'   

   vi /etc/sysconfig/network --Test for PCLinuxOS
   GATEWAY=x.x.x.x   
   replease x.x.x.x with your default gatway.

   cd /lib/modules/2.6.26.8.tex3/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2870sta.ko
   sudo modprobe rt3572sta
      run dmesg to check for errors
   dmesg
   run ifconfig, check for ra0
   ifconfig
   run iwconfig, check for rao
   iwconfig

   use the following commands to bring the interface up and down.
   ifup ra0
   or ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up
   ifdown ra0

6) reboot
   run pcc to manage the connection.

7) unload driver - if you want to remove   
     ifconfig ra0 down
     rmmod rt2870sta</sub>   


I am stuck at step 4

I get the following output after make:

I am in need of the patch file:
os/linux/sta_ioctl.c.patch

[pcorazao]

upgrade the Kernel?.....

I think i'll try that ...

[old-polack]

pcorazao:

http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=195429

The patch file you are looking for is attached to the 7th reply in the thread. You will need to register, and log in to that forum, to be able to d/l the attachment.

I really don't know what's included in the existing module for that device, as i don't have one, but I, personally, would be trying a newer kernel, to see if that device is covered by the newer rt2870sta module, before resorting to compiling my own. Texstar is usually very meticulous about using a full set of patches when building our kernels, to provide for the greatest number of wireless devices. If the particular patch is missing from that module, to cover your device, I'd be reporting it in the broken packages section, so that an updated dkms module could be built.

[pcorazao]

ok forget the patch..it went to another driver and also my file appears to already have the patch inplace after reading the file.

i upgraded the Kernel to 2.6.27.31.tex5 and compiled the driver and it compiled GREAT! i got a new rt2870sta.ko

I placed it in /lib/modules/2.6.27.31.tex5/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/

and loaded the driver but it keeps loading the old one rt2870sta.ko.gz

so i renamed the old one to rt2870staOld.ko.gz and loaded it again and said could not find rt2870sta.ko.gz

my question is

how can i make the new driver i just compiled rt2870sta.ko into a rt2870sta.ko.gz file so i can load it to see if it works.

[pcorazao]

crap i got it

gzip rt2870sta.ko
 

[pcorazao]

the driver is all setup per my previous posts and when i load it
modprobe rt2870sta

i get the following

<sub>[root@localhost ~]# dmesg | grep rt2870

whats usbcore ? this still looks like something is getting setup before my new driver gets set

[MaddogF16]

Use "lsusb" in a terminal with adapter plugged in to see if the system is seeing the adapter. If seen and identified then "lsmod" to see what module is getting loaded. When you run "ifconfig" and don't see the interface  or interface+HW address it's a pretty good indication that it's not the right driver for the job.

You could attempt " modprobe -t net \* " if you getting really stuck and it should load and unload drivers in an attempt to find one that communicates with the adapter.

Have you blacklisted or uninstalled ndiswrapper while trying to get the native (kernel) driver going so there's no conflicts?

I am tried, rebooting and modprobe rt2870sta looks like the driver loads fine.

when i play around with pcc, i don't see any network interface, if i proceed to setup a new interface with ndiswrapper it says that usbcore is already managing this device, do you want to change?  I know i am playing around with ndiswrapper but if i say yes then load the rt2870 windows driver it fails now if i hit the previous button and return to the original setup screen, i then now see a linksys network adapter interface instead of nothing....

could it be that usbcore has managed the device and my linux driver is not getting the opportunity to load?

what is usbcore, is it worth trying to blacklist that... it sounds important..

Thanks for the help maddog!

[MaddogF16]

I think Ndiswrapper (which is using a windows driver as a wrap around) is what's causing the issue. I'd remove ndiswrapper from the system via synaptic package manager and try the native (Linux) kernel driver first,which should be loaded already but the ndiswrapper package is blocking it. USBCORE is fine as that's the controlling unit of the usb ports.

Remove ndis and reboot, then modprobe the sta driver again, then issue ifconfig and see if the adapter shows up and we'll judge from that point where to go next. Have two hockey games to coach today but I'll try to check back in on ya.

[Mark342]

Renaming the old driver doesn't work.
You have to move it outside the kernel directory, otherwise the old driver might be loaded instead of the new one.

[pcorazao]

i removed the renamed old driver and did a
modprobe rt2870sta on the new driver
dmesg

still no interface showing up...

what is usbcore?  I think this maybe the issue...

I Keep coming back to this because its strange, when i first run pcc there is no interface just "Use a Windows driver(with ndiswrapper)"

if i setup continue the wizard and select the .inf file i get the following promt:

"The Selected device has already been configured with the usbcore driver
Do you really want to use ndiswrapper driver?, yes or now"

of course the windows driver fails to load / find the device ect..

at this point if i hit the previous btn i then see

Select the network interface to configure:

Cisco-Linksys LLC Linksys RangePlus Wireless Network USB Adapter

Is it possible that usbcore keeps managing the device and dose not give rt2870sta a change to manage?

what dose usbcore do, and could i configure it to lead the wireless id alown? or blacklist it?

This happens right, when two drivers are configured to control the same id's like a loading precedence maybe?

of course i am removing the failed ndiswrapper -r rt2870 after i play with  pcc and i have tried rebooting ect..

Thanks for the help everyone

steps:
<sub>Before you begin:

make sure you have this package installed from sysnaptic
glibc-headers-devel

also make note of the output for lsusb
[pcorazao@localhost ~]$ lsusb

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub


The Id may different, i had 1737:0078

go to pcc service section and make sure "dkms" service is set to start at boot time
open synaptic press reload then apply all updates
then search for kernel-2.6.27.31.tex5 and install it and reboot select the new kernel from the grub menu
Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to use the new kernel from now on.


1) download the following files from here: http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2
   
RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0.tar.tar.bz2
RT2870_Firmware_V8.zip

   
2) decompress and extract files

bzip2 -d RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0.tar.tar.bz2
tar -xvf RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0.tar.tar
unzip RT2870_Firmware_V8.zip -x

3) modify rt2870sta driver
   
cd RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0
cd common
vi rtusb_dev_id.c

add the following line, between the "#ifdef RT35xx" and "#endif // RT35xx //" in the file "common/rtusb_dev_id.c"

{USB_DEVICE(0x1737,0x0078)}, /*Linksys WUSB100*/

save and close

cd..
cd os
cd linux
vi config.mk

change the following entries from no to yes

# Support Wpa_Supplicant
HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y

# Support Native WpaSupplicant for Network Maganger
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y

save and close

cd ..
cd ..
vi MakeFile

ensure that the following lines say STA and LINUX

RT28xx_MODE = STA
TARGET = LINUX:q

4) complie driver

From RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0 directory
run the following commands

sudo make
   
   # To fix "error: too few arguments to function ��iwe_stream_add_event"
   must update to the latest pclinuxos kernel tex5
   
sudo make install

5) install new driver  *must be a root shell
   From RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0 directory
   cp ./rt2870sta.ko  /lib/modules/2.6.27.31.tex5/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2870sta.ko

   From RT2870_Firmware_V8 directory
   cp ./rt2870.bin /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin
   *note this file is great to review along with the README_STA file that comes with RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0

   vi /etc/modprobe.conf
   ensure the following line is present, if not add it.
   alias ra0 rt2870sta   
   
   create vi /ect/ifcfg-ra0 --Test for PCLinuxOS
      DEVICE='ra0'
      ONBOOT='yes'
      BOOTPROTO='dhcp'   

   vi /etc/sysconfig/network --Test for PCLinuxOS
   GATEWAY=x.x.x.x   
   replease x.x.x.x with your default gatway.
   
   vi /etc/modprobe.preload
   ensure the following line is present, if not add it.   
   rt2870sta
   
   vi /etc/rc.local
   ensure the following line is present, if not add it before exit 0
   insmod /lib/modules/2.6.26.8.tex3/wireless/rt2870sta.ko   

   cd /lib/modules/2.6.26.8.tex3/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2870sta.ko
   sudo modprobe rt3572sta
      run dmesg to check for errors
   dmesg
   run ifconfig, check for ra0
   ifconfig
   run iwconfig, check for rao
   iwconfig

   use the following commands to bring the interface up and down.
   ifup ra0
   or ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up
   ifdown ra0

6) reboot
   run pcc to manage the connection.

7) unload driver - if you want to remove   
     ifconfig ra0 down
     rmmod rt2870sta</sub>   


The only trouble i have now is ra0 is ethernet not wireless...

[root@localhost ~]# ifup ra0

Determining IP information for ra0... failed; no link present.  Check cable?

all the networking tools don't find any networks to scan ether?
