Well, the linux-firmware from natty-proposed works, but the address resolving is slow with the new router I bought. If I connect to another router or if I use the rt2800usb driver with Oneiric (or rt2870sta with Natty) it works perfectly. Only Natty + rt2800usb + new router does not work, I don't know why, but I don't think it's Linux' fault because the bug is known by the manufacturer and will be hopefully fixed by a firmware update soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762987 Title: RT2870 WLAN Stick (D-Link DWA 140) not working. firmware does not support detected chipset To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.24/+bug/762987/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Alright, so we're *almost* there. Because 1.52.2 never made it in to natty-proposed/updates, the .changes file from the upload of 1.52.3 to natty-proposed doesn't list bug #804671, but does effectively include its fix. This is pretty important for displaying updates and the way things move through our system, so the source package needs to be re- generated with the additional argument of -v1.52.1, otherwise the bugs won't show up properly.

[Bug 762987] Re: RT2870 WLAN Stick (D-Link DWA 140) not working. firmware does not support detected chipset
Well, in that case it's not going to work, right? I told you earlier that all those so called supported versions above 2.6.31 do not work with my WLAN USB stick. I have a wireless network I don't have a ethernet cable that's long enough to connect the server to the modem and I'm not going to buy one. Besides Launchpad states one should not report an alleged bug that has been reported before. I've searched Launchpad and there are about 15 bugs concerning RT2870 reported of which the major part apparently have not been looked in to by the developers yet. Most of them contain observations I more or less recognize. I'm not so sure my issue is a brand new one. Anyway, I think that ubuntu-bug stuff is not going to work.

@mrahk: If you identify a bug that is the same as yours then you should not report a new bug, but not all bugs that affect a given wireless chipset (or in this case a family of wireless chipsets) are the same. However, after reviewing the comments again I think it's possible that Wolfgang asked you to report a new bug based on the (incorrect) kernel version you had stated. If your wireless fails to work with a firmware does not support detected chipset message in dmesg and blacklisting rt2800usb and rt2800pci (not rt2870sta as you noted in your comment) fixes the problem, your issue may is the same as this one. If your problem is different, you can use the following steps to report the bug. Save the bug data to a file by running 'ubuntu-bug --save /tmp /bug-data.apport linux', then reboot into the kernel with working wireless and run 'ubuntu-bug /tmp/bug-data.apport'. The problem with running ubuntu-bug with a kernel that's working is that the information it collects is largely irrelevant to the bug and can lead to confusion. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762987 Title: RT2870 WLAN Stick (D-Link DWA 140) not working. firmware does not support detected chipset To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.24/+bug/762987/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Don't be surprised please ;-) That should be 2.6.31. I didn't notice the typo before. My apologies. So in Karmic everything was fine but it stopped working in Lucid. I don't know exactly what you mean by make a separate bug report with ubuntu-bug linux. Can you put it there, please or could you tell me where or what ubuntu-bug linux is? Besides if I search the internet I can find numerous complaints about RT-something based WLAN sticks not working since Karmic. So far I can't find a viable solution in any of them and moreover very few reports have drawn the attention of developers so what is the point of filing another new report?

The last few days I've followed the proceedings in this thread. I experiences the same problems and I feel urged to participate in solving this matter, so may I join this discussion? I have aRT2870 based WLAN stick too. It identifies itself as: 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter. This adapter stopped working after kernel 2.6.21-32 and the mean time I've tried to get it to do its job with almost all kernels released but to no avail. The most recent one I've tried is 2.6.38-02063808 and that's a failure too for now. Of course I use my Ubuntu Server all the time so it's still on kernel 2.6.21-32.

Wolfgang, guess I didn't read your comment in full the first time :)
Looks like you got the firmware to load, so I'll see if there's a reason
why rt2800{usb,pci} aren't built for hardy.

Natty SRU Justification: Impact: The rt2800 drivers expect firmware for RT307x chipsets to be found in rt2870.bin. This is not the case in natty's linux-firmware package, and thus the driver fails to load firmware for RT307x chipsets. Fix: Update rt2800 firmware. This is a clean upstream cherry pick.

Re: [Bug 762987] Re: RT2870 WLAN Stick (D-Link DWA 140) not working. firmware does not support detected chipset
Hi Seth, nice seeing you here :-) Since the pci firmware is also updated in your test package I did a couple of tests with my RT2860 pci card on live systems. No regressions were spotted. The rt2800pci driver has measurably progressed since earlier releases: I wanted to do some testing on older releases because I think a SRU at least for lucid should be considered. It is still supported for the next 22 month and we regularly want to enable new hardware on LTS releases. The compat-wireless packages for lucid will suffer from the exact same bug here. However, on natty and lucid rt2860sta did not work out of the box, so no easy regression-testing with live systems. It also shows the value of having the new drivers available through compat-wireless packages.

Re: [Bug 762987] Re: RT2870 WLAN Stick (D-Link DWA 140) not working. firmware does not support detected chipset
Agreed.
Btw, I have found some output from such a DWA-140 with compat-wireless
with debugging enabled. This prints a much better chip info:
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=5t=6061
Bus 003 Device 007: ID 07d1:3c0a D-Link System DWA-140 RangeBooster N USB
Adapter(rev.B2)
..
phy1 - rt2x00_set_chip: Info - Chipset detected - rt: 3071, rf: 0008, rev:
0213.
So it looks like it is a 3071 chipset. And from the code snippet below
it can be seen that for that chipset the rt2800usb wants to load the
second image in a firmware of size 8KiB.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.38.y.git;a=blob;f=drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2800usb.c;h=197a36c05fdaf18a294000b9eae8b5dad2073eea;hb=HEAD
116 /*
117 * Check which section of the firmware we need.
118 */
119 if (rt2x00_rt(rt2x00dev, RT2860) ||
120 rt2x00_rt(rt2x00dev, RT2872) ||
121 rt2x00_rt(rt2x00dev, RT3070)) {
122 offset = 0;
123 length = 4096;
124 } else {
125 offset = 4096;
126 length = 4096;
127 }
For these chips the rt2800usb needs to load the concatenated second
firmware image from an 8KiB firmware, but natty still comes with the
4KiB rt2870.bin. In 1.53 2870.bin doubles in size to exactly 8KiB. Two
4KiB drivers are concatenated.
In preparation for a SRU we should look if anything formerly working
potentially breaks with the new firmware. Ralink says it is backward
compatible, so older drivers that load the new firmware should be
fine:
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/pipermail/users_rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/2011-March/003380.html
Ralink's Shiang Tu says:
We always suggest to use latest firmware, because it's backward
compatible and also has some enhancement, bug fix, or support of new
chip
For rt5390 or newer chips, it shall upgrade the firmware to this
version, or it may malfunction.
The USB drivers in staging have been modified (vs. the drivers from
the Ralink website) to load 4KiB firmware. From looking at the code
they should just take the first half of an 8KiB firmware and ignore
the rest. Nevertheless I would prefer to have a regression test with
RT2860, RT2872 or RT3070 based hardware with a USB driver from staging
and the oneiric 8KiB rt2870.bin. Maybe we can find someone who can do
this. If testing that it might be good to move the other Ralink
firmware files out of /lib/firmware temporarily (or disable them by
renaming) to prove that it loads the 8KiB rt2870.bin (md5:
36c944c3138125605d28c0a3a1338be9) from linux-firmware 1.53.
What follows is just a bunch of stuff I have looked up that might come
in handy for reference:

Actually, with linux-firmware 1.53 the rt3070.bin is now a symlink to the 8KiB rt2870.bin (because of patch rt2870sta: Use latest firmware for RT3070 and RT3071), so in oneiric currently a staging driver will have to read the first part of an 8KiB firmware now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762987 Title: RT2870 WLAN Stick (D-Link DWA 140) not working. firmware does not support detected chipset -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Are the problems with the natty release kernel 2.6.38-8.42? Try with the 2.6.38-9.43 from proposed. Yes, the problems occur with the 2.6.38-8.42 kernel that ships with natty. 2.6.38-9.43 fixes those, no trouble with that version :-) It might even be worth checking whether the proposed or stable kernel also really do need the updated firmware from 1.53 (md5: 36c944c3138125605d28c0a3a1338be9) Both 2.6.38-9.43 from proposed and 2.6.39.1 from mainline still need the updated firmware, otherwise you get that firmware missing message again. So all what has to be done is to include the new rt2870.bin in the linux-firmware package in natty. 2.6.38-9.43 will land in natty in some days anyway. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762987 Title: RT2870 WLAN Stick (D-Link DWA 140) not working. firmware does not support detected chipset -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 762987] Re: RT2870 WLAN Stick (D-Link DWA 140) not working. firmware does not support detected chipset
Great. So this bug is already fixed in oneiric. With the possible exception of the interference issue at the moment - you say you have to blacklist the rt2870sta. I looked up the staging directory in the new kernel 3.0 (what would have been 2.6.40 if Linus hadn't gone and renamed it :-) ). What I found was that there are no more Ralink staging drivers in 3.0 since this commit: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=fefecc6989b4b24276797270c0e229c07be02ad3 staging: rt2860sta and rt2870sta: Remove drivers replaced in net/wireless The staging driver rt2860sta is replaced by mainline driver rt2800pci, and rt2870sta is replaced by rt2800usb. As a result, the staging drivers are deleted. This will automatically take care of any interference issue in oneiric once it switches to 3.0.

Well, I've spoken about testing the driver in my last post and I noticed that rt2800usb is making some trouble when using together with 2.6.38. The shutdown/reboot takes about a minute (with rt2870sta: only a few seconds on my machine) and sometimes you have to unplug+replug the stick to get it work. Also the NetworkManager isn't always responding on my commands, if I disable the network, the network gets disabled but the icon in the panel still says that I am connected. I upgraded to kernel 2.6.39 via the Kernel Mainline PPA and the problems are not occuring there. Maybe the new firmware isn't compatible with the module in 2.6.38. I also wanted to test 3.0-rc1 but the system crashes after login, I read some programs doing version checks have to be modified to work with the 3.x kernel, so we have to wait a bit. What remains to be considered is how to fix this for everyone in natty (and possibly users of linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless in maverick and lucid). From what I see a SRU (stable release update) should be considered for linux-firmware, replacing the rt2870bin (md5: e4b60f5bb4980a26cbac32be690451d6) with the /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin (md5: 36c944c3138125605d28c0a3a1338be9) from linux-firmware 1.53 which is already in oneiric. That would be great, but it has to be made sure that the new firmware is working with kernel 2.6.38, as described above. In look back, Linux has made a good progress in hardware support. Some years ago I tried to use Linux with wifi and nothing worked (or just unencrypted connections were supported), today it's much more stress- free. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762987 Title: RT2870 WLAN Stick (D-Link DWA 140) not working. firmware does not support detected chipset -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Are the problems with the natty release kernel 2.6.38-8.42? Try with the 2.6.38-9.43 from proposed. It carries fixes for some Ralink problems. If that one does still have issues then try the latest mainline stable 2.6.38 (right now 2.6.38.7) from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v2.6.38.7-natty/ . The stable kernels automatically go into natty with some lag. So if an issue is fixed there nothing more needs to be done about that. It might even be worth checking whether the proposed or stable kernel also really do need the updated firmware from 1.53 (md5: 36c944c3138125605d28c0a3a1338be9). 3.0-rc1 is already running on my system :-) . I have also gone and installed the whole linux-firmware 1.53 package to see if there are any regressions. Looking good so far. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762987 Title: RT2870 WLAN Stick (D-Link DWA 140) not working. firmware does not support detected chipset -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

We've made progress. I've tested the rt2870.bin file from linux-firmware 1.53 which works :-). You still have to blacklist rt2870sta because otherwise nothing ralink-related is loaded.

This also works, but not as good as the one from linux-firmware. NetworkManager is reacting slow on connecting/disconnecting and the syslog shows the following: Jun 2 09:33:13 sixpack kernel: [ 288.072780] phy0 - rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x06 failed for offset 0x1328 with error -71. But the one from linux-firmware is working great, I will test it for some days to check its stability, speed etc. Thank you for your help + your explanations, I learned a bit more about linux' wifi architecture. :thumdsup ** Attachment added: MD5 checksums of different rt2870.bin versions https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/762987/+attachment/2151762/+files/md5sums -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762987 Title: RT2870 WLAN Stick (D-Link DWA 140) not working. firmware does not support detected chipset -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
