linksys wusb100 problems

[flash63]

I think gmail-notify starts before your WLAN-connection was established.

Delete gmail-notify from the autostart-menu and start it with the /etc/rc.local and a little delay.

...
sleep 20
gmail-notify
exit 0

I couldn't get WPA2 to with my wusb100 v2 until I recompiled wpa_supplicant with support for the Ralink driver. I'm using Debian and it seems that the wpa_supplicant that Debian uses doesn't have support for the Ralink driver.

Hello,
a little Trick to add the ID 1737:0078 for the WUSB100v2 to the System an simply use the rt2870sta V1.4.0.0. that comes with the system if the new driver v2.3.0.0 or the rt3070 from Ralink don't work properly.

First remove the new compiled driver:

cd
cd RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0
sudo make uninstall

Add the ID:

echo 'install rt2870sta modprobe --ignore-install rt2870sta ; /bin/echo "1737 0078" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870/new_id' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rt2870sta.conf
sudo modprobe -rf rt2870sta
sudo modprobe rt2870sta
dmesg | egrep 'rt28|usb|Phy'
iwconfig

Thank you Rainer!

Thanks to your solution I finally have my Linksys RangePlus WUSB100v2 (ID 1737:0078 Linksys) working WITH scanning ability, actually able to connect AND with WPA all at the same time !!!

Took me half the night and lots of not-or-half-working fixes before I found your post. I am happy now

EDIT: One note, because the driver would not auto-load when hot-plugging the dongle I had to add the rt2870sta to /etc/modules to load it at startup. Running without Ndiswrapper, it is all just perfect now

Edit: gaah wrong thread. Thanks a lot for this, I knew there was a udev or sysfs solution to this USB Dev ID problem!

What's the point of running the install command at every boot? Would echoing the USB Dev ID to /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870/new_id not work on its own?

Flash63, you made my day.

Hello,
peepingtom, try the udev-rule if you won't load the module at startup.

sudo modprobe -rf rt2870sta
sudo modprobe rt2870sta
dmesg | egrep 'rt28|usb|Phy'
iwconfig

The solution works? Ok, load the driver at startup

echo rt2870sta | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

alternativ automatic driver load:

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/10-wusb100.rules

contents:

# UDEV-Rule for wusb-100v2 ID 1737:0078
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1737", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0078", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe rt2870sta"

make it ready to work

sudo /etc/init.d/udev reload

.. or restart

I followed this tutorial on my Debian Lenny Distro, I got to the "sudo modprobe rt2870sta" with a error, saying "Cannot write to /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870/new_id , file or directory doesn't exist" Or something very similar.

I have searched the drivers folder and I get a few folders, I will post the tree below.
Hub, snd-usb-audo, usbfs, snd-usb-cauiaq, usb, usb-storage

Hello,
do you really have a wusb100v2 ? Check:

lsusb
lsmod

[GeniusGeeko]

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1737:0078 Linksys
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0930:6544 Toshiba Corp.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0451:2046 Texas Instruments, Inc. TUSB2046 Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

I didn't much output from lsmod, am I supposed to have any options set to it?

Debian Lenny, that could be the real cause. It seems that it works different from ubuntu. Sorry, i don't know.
