**Nartales** · March 30th, 2012

Hello There,

I did get a new wireless USB-Stick (D-Link DWA-140 (2001:3c15)).
So I did install the the driver vom Ralink RT8070 /RT3070 /RT3370 /RT5370 /RT5372 USB
and did load the module rt5370sta

now the problem is with iwconfig I see this:
nartales@ubuntu:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

ra0 Ralink STA
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 invalid crypt:0 invalid misc:0

Hi,

please show

Code:

rfkill list
sudo iwlist scan

**lJ9%3MR>sa** · March 31st, 2012

I'm having the same problem as you with the RT5370 driver. I just used the built in driver. The only problem I have is not being able to make it load at startup...

Open terminal.
Type this.

Code:

modprobe rt2800usb
sudo -s
echo 2001 3c15 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2800usb/new_id
exit

(this part im not sure about... I'm just changing it to your hw id.)

It should say new Network found or found wireless network...
If that doesn't work reboot; we are going to change the hw id in terminal.

Open terminal.
Type this.

Code:

modprobe rt2800usb
sudo -s
echo 148F 5370 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2800usb/new_id
exit

Please remember that I'm not a Terminal geek.

That was just from some of my problems. Also, I was NEVER able to get the compiled drivers to work...
