linksys wusb100 problems

[jgrocha]

Thanks, Rainer! You are the best.

I was able to install the WUSB100 in 9.10. I hope that 10.04 will automatically recognize it.

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.

greetings and a happy new year

Rainer

Works great in Lucid! Thanks a lot for sharing this information.

hello anybody out there,
after following 10 threads and leads i 'll start afresh with the 15th or 20th virgin installation of Kubuntu karmic. kernel 2.6.---.20 amd64. trying to get wifi through linksys wusb100v.2. [id 1737 0078]
It'll take me a bout half an hhour (to 3/4) to download 185 bug fixes.
anyone feeling up to talking me through an installation without me messing up my system again?

[yrhen]

I guess that I can limit the options to three:

Use 2009_0525_RT3070_Linux_STA_v2.1.1.0.bz2 from Ralink, if you can find it

Peepingtom: [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1342593]

Uses 2009_0820_RT2870_Linux_STA_V2.2.0.0 and extensive blacklisting of rt drivers; though MTXColl insists on using an unspecified RT3070 [2009_1110_RT3070_Linux_STA_v2.1.2.0?] driver instead and installing RT2870 on top of it.

so what order of trying makes most sense?

[yrhen]

after flipping a coin I started with the flash63 routine.
echo does fine
modprobe -rf doesn't hurt (nothing was loaded anyway)
modprobe rt2870sta runs into an error:
sh: cannot create /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870/new_id: Directory nonexistent.
which in itself is peculiar as I actually visited that directory and saw the file sitting there

what the heck goes wrong?

[yrhen]

ah, I see: it existed before my 20th virgin installation. apparently i have to modprobe rt2870 inorder to -rf it in order to load it again with the adapted ID

Rainer, Herzlichen Dank. Flash is the greatest
For the first time since I started 3 weeks ago I have a Wifi usb that is on air, scans and actually sees my network.
Only it won't connect because the router is WPA2SHK and network manager is not.
If I set the router to open connection, the ubuntu machine connecgts, but the XP laptops loose connection. If i switch to WPA2 the XP's reconnect and the ubuntu drops.
What am I missing? help?!

[yrhen]

ok. WICD did the trick that networkmanager failed to:

Flash,
Thanks so much for the answer to my WUSB100v2 problem. I have been searching for months on end and yours is the first I have used that worked. Thanks a million!

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

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

When I use cd RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0 I get no such file or directory? Any help would be great, thanks.
