[ SOLVED ] D-Link Wireless N 150 USB Adapter DWA-125 / rev A3 / RT5370

[Just17]

rebooted with the device plugged in ......  came up perfectly!

Pulled it out ....  and when re-inserted it re-connected again properly!

All looks good here with this driver 

regards.

Glad it worked! 

At the same time it look a bit difficult to integrated it in pclos kernels ...
While you are going to mark it as solved, please add to the subject line "rev A3" / RT5370" 

AS

OK, will do 

I know I stumbled about a bit, but would suspect it should be easy arrange  .....   or is there some difficulty I don't appreciate?

Don't know    ... lack of time ? ... other priorities ? ... lack of knowledge ?   ... possible issues and chance to add instability ?  ... probably all.

It seems to be fast and stable so far .....  both with WPA/PSK and no encryption.

To finish this thread, I want to record what was done to get this working.

If you notice any omissions or errors please correct or let me know and I will do the correction.

Thanks.

Kernel in use for this build
3.2.16-pclos1.pae.bfs

Device
D-Link DWA-125 A3

Driver
2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO.tar.bz2

Downloaded from: http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support/support.php?sn=501

Note: The driver name that comes down is "2011_ .... _DPO.bz2"  and should be renamed as above.

Extract the driver into its own folder.

In the 2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO/os/linux/config.mk
file do the following edits

Set 'HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y'
and
Set 'HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y'

Enter folder 2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO

In a terminal as user, do

make
[ignore this error: cp: cannot create regular file `/tftpboot': Permission denied]

When done do

gzip -9 ./os/linux/rt5370sta.ko

su to root, then do the following four commands

cp ./os/linux/rt5370sta.ko.gz  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/usb/

Next do

depmod -a

and then

cp RT2870STA.dat  /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat

Then run

wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ira0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d


*****

I believe the above is the order I did the commands.
Maybe there is a better order for a couple of them.

Well I am happy I asked as it was not the answer I was expecting

One last question

Afatech ‎DVB-T 2 USB DTT

Do you mean one dual receiver or two single receivers (using one or two USB slots)

I have no idea why you mentioned that device in this thread ......

Yes, enter the folder 2011...DPO before to edit os/linux/config.mk

In case anyone finds this thread as a result of a search for  RT5370  I wish to add the following ....

running kernel 3.2.18
plugged in a  Dynamode Wireless Adapter N  Nano 802.11n Wireless USB Adapter  150Mbps

It was recognised immediately and set up and connected properlu.

Apparently it uses the rt2800usb module

Hopefully this helps someone.

EDIT:   I should have added that the dongle came with a small form factor optical media on which are drivers for

Win     40.5MB
MAC    10.0MB
Lin      0.73MB

...  and there was no need for me to use the Lin drivers as I mentioned above.
