[megavolt500]

In the end I installed compat-wirelessdrivers and started using a new version rt2800usb, which works well.

Hi there,

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Did you rename the file in '/etc/Wireless/RT3070STA/' to RT3070sta.dat?

I can't believe I've left this thing open for so long...

Yeah, I tried renaming the file. Works great! Thanks! [Solved] for me

Hello there;

I just tried to compile and install RT3070 driver for my new TP-Link WN321G v4 card in Ubuntu 10.10 according to the instructions in the 13th page by "pesarak". I got the error "error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘open’" " and as it's mentioned in the instruction I tried to apply the patch "rt3070-2.6.31-compile.patch" and unfortunately I got another error;

patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.

what's wrong with that? Only garbage found in the input! What does that means exactly?

PS: Is this driver compatible and enough for air cracking or...?

PS: Is this driver compatible and enough for air cracking or...?

this driver support monitor mode and thus air cracking
i sniff packet on air with this driver.
but some minor problem with channel selection (it capture all channel even when you select only one of them!
, that is solved with change sensivitity , but in general
im not happy with "TL WN321G V4" for air-cracking)

you need "aircrack-ng_1.0~rc1-2_i386.deb" in ubuntu 10.10

[pesarak]

Edit Sensitivity

(in RT2070/RT3070 driver TL-wn321g v4)

use following code to change sensitivity of
sniffing packet on air when set in monitor mode:

1)
iwpriv ra0 bbp
2)
iwpriv ra0 bbp 4=0

line 1 show all registers value that use by driver
every register have special functionality

line 2 change register R4 to zero that is change sensitivity
in my system.
you can change for example R0 to R20 in real-time while sniffing
and see result to find a proper register you want.


/*
i add driver and patch to attachment again for mirror link

Does anyone please know if this solution would work for other distros ?

hi gang,

I have a Tenda W311U and in Ubu10.10 it has always showed a connection to a local wireless hub I can connect to fine on my laptop and surf.

So although there a connect is made in NetManager and I am assigned an IP addy I cannot surf any web sites nor ping anything. Like I said the local wireless service works fine for Ubu10.04 on my laptop using its builtin wireless, so there is no problem there.

I did run thru all of the steps pesarak provides on pg13, and although everything ran fine, nothing looks or acts differently: I connect on boot-up or whenever dongle is plugged in or wireless enabled in NetManager, but I cannot surf any pages.

Any ideas? All the steps pesarak lists worked fine without error once I made the necessary changes in the files mentioned for 10.10.

cheers,
tt

With reading all these above you wrote, I have done make && make install, and patch it.
Then I modprobe rt3070sta, nothing output in console.
Then I ifconfig I got this more info in attachment.

I did not ifconfig ra0 192.168.1.111 up as I got error msg:

SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
ra0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
ra0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

So I don't know whether I have installed this driver successfully and if not how to do next.

Please help me, thanke you so much in advanced.


If you could make a deb package for W541U v2.0 to make this easy so much appreciated to you.

If you help me make it, I would do my best to it. As I like this you help others and others would help you, we could improve together. This is according to Open Source philosophy.

It seems that they renamed usb_buffer_alloc and usb_buffer_free in 2.6.35 into usb_alloc_coherent and usb_free_coherent. Attached is a patch which fixes the compile errors. Let me know if the driver works for you now!

Hello guys, help me please.
I have the same trouble but I try to install this driver 2010_0709_RT2870_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1 and get the same errors. Probably this patch would suit me, but I don't know how I can edit it to my version.

My kernel version is
3.0.0-12-generic and I don\t know why this probs are available here.

/home/ilya/2010_0709_RT2870_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1/os/linux/../../common/cmm_mac_usb.c:78:3: error: implicit declaration of function ‘usb_buffer_free’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
