Re: Wireless usb device not working [SOLVED]

2011-11-17 Thread Matt Harrison
I found a post on the Linux Mint Forums that fixed my issue.

I ran the following commands:

echo 'install rt2870sta modprobe --ignore-install rt2870sta ;
/bin/echo "1737 0078" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870/new_id' | tee
/etc/modprobe.d/rt2870sta.conf
modprobe -rf rt2870sta
modprobe rt2870sta
dmesg | egrep 'rt28|usb|Phy'
iwconfig

echo rt2870sta | tee -a /etc/modules


For reference, the post I found was here:

remove all the blacklist stuff related to the rtl drivers. reboot and do 
/sbin/ifconfig -a, then check for a wlan0 or other interface related to 
you wifi card. after it is wlan0, do a /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up. that 
should works. you could install wicd-curse to ease things.

I install firmware-ralink and wireless-tools  after checking the
Debian Wiki and determining that the RT3070 uses the ralink firmware
package.

After this I ran lsmod and got the following back:

usbcore98969  7
usb_storage,rt2800usb,rt2x00usb,usbhid,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd


The kernel thinks rt2800usb is the correct driver but no network
interface is created. Maybe it has slipped up. Remove it and rt2x00usb
(rmmod or modprobe -r) and try rt2870sta.

On the other hand 1737:0078 isn't mentioned on the wiki page so support
in Squeeze may not quite up to the mark. This chipset does appear to
have given rise to problems in the past.

Works on Ubuntu? A different kernel etc.

Wireless usb device not working

2011-11-17 Thread Matt Harrison
I recently purchased a Linksys wireless USB device.

When I plug it in and run lsusb I see the following:

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 1737:0078 Linksys WUSB100 v2 RangePlus Wireless
Network Adapter [Ralink RT3070]


I install firmware-ralink and wireless-tools  after checking the
Debian Wiki and determining that the RT3070 uses the ralink firmware
package.

After this I ran lsmod and got the following back:

usbcore98969  7
usb_storage,rt2800usb,rt2x00usb,usbhid,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd


dmesg shows me this:
[ 4850.724093] usb 1-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6
[ 4850.884967] usb 1-7: New USB device found, idVendor=1737, idProduct=0078
[ 4850.884974] usb 1-7: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[ 4850.884979] usb 1-7: Product: Linksys RangePlus Wireless Network USB Adapter
[ 4850.884982] usb 1-7: Manufacturer: Cisco-Linksys LLC
[ 4850.885182] usb 1-7: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice


However, even after rebooting the machine, wlan0 or ra0 are not
created and I cannot use the card.

I created /etc/modprobe.d/ralink.conf with:
blacklist rt2x00lib
blacklist rt2800usb
blacklist rt2x00usb

after doing some searching online, but that didn't change anything.

In the testing phase, I downloaded Ubuntu and ran the live CD and the
wireless dongle works just fine.

I am not sure what I need to do to get this device working in Debian.
I am running a minimal install of Squeeze with Openbox (no DE behind
or in front of it).

Any help or tips would be appreciated.
