Arrow GUI Installer for RT73 (RaLink) Devices [Beta]

RT73 Driver GUI Installer
Okay so it's taken me just over, erm, six months to update what started out as a simple install script to install wireless devices from the RT73 RaLink chipset, but it's finally been updated. I actually re-wrote this entire thing over a few days off, hence why it's in Beta stage- I am expecting bugs and errors, so bare with me on this one guys. Details are as follows.

Language: Python (GTK 2.X GUI)
Version: 0.5.2 Beta
Author: Kiefer Rodriguez

It's pretty simple, download the attached zipfile's (the script, and the SerialMonkey driver, both attached), and follow the instructions provided (check out the README), if you're not sure what you're supposed to enter in to a certain field, click the '?' button next to said field and that should get you back on track. Time for some screenshots..




And heres the source for your viewing pleasure (to actually use the installer, you need to download the attached ZIP file, not just grab the source)

That looks awesome. It is a shame that I installed my wireless driver yesterday using the diepruis method this is based on.

Re: GUI Installer for RT73 (RaLink) Devices [Beta]

Mmm... Doesnt work. System: Fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04 with all possible updates. Here is console message:

Quote:
soir@ub-soir:~/Рабочий стол/RT73_GUI_ Installer$ ls
README rt73install.py
soir@ub-soir:~/Рабочий стол/RT73_GUI_ Installer$ sudo python rt73install.py
File "rt73install.py", line 126
m odprobe = file("rt73-blacklist.temp", 'a')
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Or is it some kind of hands mutation?

PS: care for newbies is great so thx anyway

Wow, I see what's causing the problem, basic syntax error, why didn't Python pick up on it and spit out a nasty error? Oh well, just patched it- cheers guys.

I am a newbie to UBUNTU and I am trying to install RT73 Ralink driver and your installer seems to be quite a good thing to first install. However, I have not been able to proceed beyond the download. WIll you be able to help?

Re: GUI Installer for RT73 (RaLink) Devices [Beta]

Hi Kiefer,

nice and extraordinary job. Congratulations.
I was going to test it but I use WPA. I saw that your application is only for WEP. Is there any way of using it with WPA?

Thank you in advance.

Toni.
