    Question Help required installing Linux driver - RT2500

    I have found a Linux driver for the RT2500 but I am have trouble with command bit (still getting my head around it) - I get stuck at 3.

    Installing linux driver instructions:
    1) Uncompress file (using nautilus: right click > uncompress).
    2) Open a terminal.
    3) Navigate to the folder that you just extracted (if you extracted the zipped file to /home/user (where user is your user name) and the folder is called (RTLDRIVERS) this would be: cd /home/user/RTLDRIVERS.
    4) sudo su
    5) make
    6) make install
    7) reboot.

    I downloaded driver RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0.ta..gz I uncompressed it in my Home Folder - when I uncompressed it the file/folder name is
    RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0.ta so.....

    At 3 I type in: cd/homeuser/RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0.ta Enter

    and I get command not found or does not exist - what am I doing wrong - am I writing in the wrong command.

    Please Help

    I am trying to get my self up to speed with basic command but struggling

    I have typed in ls in the terminal and the file is there - I am confused


    should I just use the ndiswrapper program and see if that fixes my wifi card.

    PS - My network is picked up by Ubuntu 10.10 but every time I go to connect - it goes through the connecting process but never connects???

    Re: Help required installing Linux driver - RT2500

    it looks as though the file that you downloaded

    RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0.ta..gz

    hasn't been uncompressed properly.

    I'm making the assumption from your join date and number of beans you are a newb (welcome to the forums), so I may be a bit verbose for your skill level, apologies in advance.

    My suggestions is this.

    on your home directory make a new directory for the RT... download

    [code]
    mkdir RT2500
    [code]

    download the file again from the same location (may be an idea to double check the MD5 checksum, if it has been given one, to ensure it isn't corrupted on its way - especially if you keep getting errors)

    Using nautilus / terminal or your preferred file manager, move the file into the new directory.

    Back at the terminal cd into the new directory, then 'untar' the file... (I am assuming the name of the file that you gave earlier)

    Code:
    cd RT2500
    note that your prompt will now have changed

    and 'untar' the archive...
    Code:
    tar -xvf RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0.tar.gz
    you will now most likely see a bunch of stuff fly through the screen, if you get any errors post them here and we'll try to help out.

    Now you should be able to do the following
    Code:
    ls
    and see the old compressed file, and now a nice new directory having been created (probably called RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0), now you can use a nice timesaving trick to get into the directory...
    Code:
    cd R
    now press the tab key and the directory will be automagically completed for you, if not, press it again and it will show you all the directories that begin with 'R' (then just type in enough to make it unique and press the tab to auto complete it).

    Now you have changed into this directory you can follow the rest of your original guide... However I wouldn't
    Code:
    sudo su
    I would do the following...

    Code:
    sudo make
    sudo make install
    now reboot and see if you are working.

    Re: Help required installing Linux driver - RT2500

    Hi David - I followed your instructions - I unpacked the file and it seemed like it worked - I went to put in the ls command no new folder was created only the original RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0 (extracted file) and RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0.ta. (tar file) and the downloaded file RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0.ta..gz in my RT2500 folder I created.

    And yes I am new to Ubuntu/Linux and appreciate your help

    Any ideas what I have done wrong? Thanks
    Yes. A variety of typos. The file was successfully extracted:
    Code:
    spaznuts@spaznuts:~/RT2500$ tar -xvf RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0.ta.
    RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0/
    RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0/sha1.h
    RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0/Makefile.4
    RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0/rt2570sw.h
    RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0/readme
    RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0/rtmp_wep.c
    RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0/md5.h
    RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0/auth_rsp.c
    RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0/wpa.c
    RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0/rtusb.h 
    etc., etc.
    Now, to build the module, simply do:
    Code:
    cd RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0
    make
    sudo make install
    However, why are you doing so? The rt2500usb drivers are already a part of the normal Ubuntu install:
    Code:
    modinfo rt2500usb
    If your device isn't working out of the box, either rt2500usb is not correct for the device or something else is wrong.

    Re: Help required installing Linux driver - RT2500

    Hi Chili555,

    Thanks for clarification, I have not yet been able to get a wi fi connection with my card - I have no probs on the XP OS but when it comes to UBUNTU 10.10 I cannot connect - My network is detected and it tries to connect with no joy.

    My card is a RALINK RT2500 USB WLAN 54Mbit/s IEEE 802.11g/ 802.11b compatible.(fairly old)

    I didnt know that this card was supported already so I tried the Linux driver RT25USB-SRC-V2.0.8.0.ta..gz - there is another Ralink2500 driver that isnt USB - I will try that next.

    If that fails I will have to stick with the ehernet connection or maybe a new card. Thanks for your help - I will try what you suggested with commands and will post back with result.

    Thanks very much

    Jim

    Re: Help required installing Linux driver - RT2500

    Let's try to troubleshoot what you already have. First, let's see which exact device you have. Please run and post:
    Code:
    lsusb
    Now, let's see what drivers are loading:
    Code:
    lsmod | grep rt2
    The pipe symbol | is on the right side of my US keyboard along with \.

    Now let's see if there are any informative kernel messages:
    Code:
    dmesg | grep -i rt2
    Our systems have trouble with mixed WPA and WPA2 mode; please be sure your router is set to one or the other, not mixed.

    Re: Help required installing Linux driver - RT2500

    seems like you are getting the required assistance from chili555

    I wasn't aware that this usb device was supported by the default Ubuntu, sorry for that, maybe you have don't extra stuff that wasn't neccesary.

    If I can help in any way I will do so, but for now chili555 seems to have you going in the direction I would have sent you anyway, so I'll leave you in what are likely to be his more capable hands.

    good luck.
