Linksys WUSB54GC Version 3 AMD64 (1737:0077)

[zip311]

It took me a while, but I discovered a very simple solution to using this wireless card.

Make sure your device id is 1737:0077 from lsusb.

First, download the source for the rt3070 usb driver from ralinktecit h: http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2
(should be RT3070USB(RT307x) link)

Untar the source, which should be a file named something like: 2009_0525_RT3070_Linux_STA_v2.1.1.0.bz2

You will then need to edit two (2) files.

In os/linux/config.mk change:

HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=n
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n

to:

HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y

In os/linux/usb_main_dev.c:
On about line #44 starts the definition of the rt_usb_id struct:

/* module table */
struct usb_device_id rtusb_usb_id[] = {

You want to change the end of that structure on about line #76 from:

        {USB_DEVICE(0x203D,0x1480)}, /* Encore 3070 */
#endif // RT3070 //
        { }/* Terminating entry */
};

to:

        {USB_DEVICE(0x203D,0x1480)}, /* Encore 3070 */
        {USB_DEVICE(0x1737,0x0077)}, /* Linksys WUSB54GC */
#endif // RT3070 //
        { }/* Terminating entry */
};

Make and install the module, making sure to edit your /etc/modules.

Why this works:
The WUSB54GC Version 3 card has the rt3070 chipset - it's just that the ralink drivers don't contain the device ID for the linksys model (doh!)

Hi,

I have modified the files as you show, and built the module. How can I make sure it is correctly installed? Do I have to call modprobe to load it?

After following your instructions my dongle is still not working. What else do I have to do?

Thanks!

[rockon1215]

I followed the steps, but whenever I try to 'make' I get

install: cannot stat `rt3070sta.ko': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alex/Documents/Wireless/os/linux'
make: *** [install] Error 2

I tried again with 'sudo make' but no such luck.

(I renamed '2009_0525_RT3070_Linux_STA_v2.1.1.0' to 'Wireless' to make typing it out in the terminal easier)

Make and install the module, making sure to edit your /etc/modules.

What is it exactly I need to write in the module file?

[TeamCK]

So, I am brand new to ubuntu (and haven't even thought about programming languages in quite a while). Can you tell me what I need to write in order to build a module and install a module please?

thanks.

[mandava]

I am getting the same errors as vanjan above!
Did anyone find a solution for this one?

I am going to try the instructions given here.
Let's see what happens!

[noppie]

What is it exactly I need to write in the module file?

/Kjeldgaard

I don't have a
making sure to edit your /etc/modules.

and went I do #modprobe rt3070sta with sudo in front nothing happens.

#ifconfig ra0 inet 192.168.0.33 up
#iwconfig ra0
nothing happens.. using sudo in front of all
and where do i find where to configure the card
thank you very much
noppie

[RiveraK2]

Hey,

I was wondering if someone can help me through this process.
I'm brand new to Linux/Ubuntu having installed it a few hours ago.

Anyway, I own this exact adapter (WUSB54GC V3 1737:0077) and I
would like to get it working on my PC.

I followed the steps above, but I have no idea on how to make and
install a module to get this thing working. Can anyone help me
out with this?

I'll greatly appreciate any help I get.

Thanks!,
RK2

[KherKhere]

Please some one help us how can i install it setp by step .

Thanks in advance .
