Driver: RT3070USB(RT307x) www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2



1. Download the RT3070USB driver from Ralink website above
2. Unpack it.

Code:

$sudo su
#tar jxvf 2009_0525_RT3070_Linux_STA_v2.
1.1.0.bz2

3. Navigate to os/linux and add the following line to usb_main_dev.c

Code:

#cd 2009_0525_RT3070_Linux_STA_v2.1.1.0/os/linux
#pico usb_main_dev.c
...
add:
{USB_DEVICE(0x148F,0x2070)}, /* Ralink 2070L */
under #ifdef RT3070
...

Also make the following changes in os/linux/config.mk <config.mk>:


HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_
SUPPORT=y


4. Compile the module.

Code:

#cd ../..;make

5. Install the module.

Code:

#make install

6. Copy the .DAT file to /etc/Wireless. (the install script should do it but just in case). Also copy the rt2870.bin file to /lib/firmware. (just in case).

Code:

#mkdir -p /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA
#cp RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/
#apt-get install tofrodos
#dos2unix /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat
#chmod +x /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat

#cp common/rt2870.bin /lib/firmware/

7. Start the module.

Code:

#modprobe rt3070sta

8. Test to see if it works.

9. Configure the card.


The steps above will make the wireless device work with Ubuntu 9.04/WattOS on the Edubook.

It maybe worth updating this how to.

I have not tried this yet, I am due out about now, so this will have to wait till tomorrow before I give it a go on a wattos R2.

Perhaps we could put hints and tips for this in this thread.

Update on this.

I have found that the file name has changed so the tar command had to be changed, the driver file itself has been altered to include the MODULE LICENSE line, and the most difficult problem is that the .deb kernel I downloaded from here has no /build directory so that the 'make' command fails.

Still working on this. I downloaded the developers kernel package last night.

Great news!
keep us posted, and hopefully provide us with the final module? too much to ask?
someone else?

Will do.

Unfortunately it's back to the day job today, so I will probably have to wait till Friday to get this done.

As soon as I have something to post I will.
I have set up my edubook with the latest kernel source files, and found and copied the .config file from the 10.04 version of the edubook that I have, the next step is to compile the kernel, and then build the module. However as will all things I guess the actuall process is going to take a little longer than anticipated with a few more problems to solve. I know they can be sorted though because they have already been done with different OS's and the 10.04 version has all these things sorted, so in a way I am reinventing the wheel, but I just think we could have a faster ubuntu based system with the entire ubuntu repositories available.

It has been a huge learning curve so far, and I have a cisco exam coming up so I really should be doing revision as well, but I freely admit I am getting a little obsessed.
