rt3072 assistance needed please

**dwb814** · November 7th, 2012

I just bought a etekcity high power 802.11 adapter. I sees the router and everyone's network around the block but I can't connect. I put in my password and the prompt comes back again?

Here is my information:

Tried to install the driver and I'm getting errors on the first step -Make

Code:

I saw where it said

Code:

make -C tools

so I put that in,

Code:

root@dan-desktop:/home/dan/Desktop/2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO (2)# make -C tools

That worked but, the next step "make install" errors out, now I'm stuck at:

Code:

Got it, never mind

Hello,
use these instructions to install the driver with DKMS over Ethernet:

http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/d-.../#post-4365112

Summary:

Code:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r) linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms
wget media.cdn.ubuntu-de.org/forum/attachments/42/20/4365112-Ralink_5370sta-2.5.0.3_dkms.tar.gz
sudo tar xvf 4365112-Ralink_5370sta-2.5.0.3_dkms.tar.gz -C /usr/src
sudo dkms add -m Ralink_5370sta -v 2.5.0.3
sudo dkms build -m Ralink_5370sta -v 2.5.0.3
sudo dkms install -m Ralink_5370sta -v 2.5.0.3

install the prepared RT2870STA.dat configuration file:

Code:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA
sudo cp /usr/src/Ralink_5370sta-2.5.0.3/src/RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA

blacklist rt2800usb:

Code:

echo "blacklist rt2800usb" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Restart

Thank you flash63 I'll copy these instructions down for the next time. Thanks again!

**dwb814** · November 12th, 2012

flash63,
I want to thank you for your advise on installing the other drive for my wireless connection.

My connection was getting intermittent, but after following your instruction, my connection is rock solid now.

Thank you very much for your kind assistance.
Dan
