Ralink wifi cannot setup
« on: March 15, 2014, 10:32:54 PM »
Hello hardcores! Today im posting a problem about setting up for those who have a Ralink 2870 wifi dongle to my
tc@box: uname -a

From the forums I read I already tried to modprobe rt2800 but no avail, I think it is for Realtek semicons. Any ideas how could I set up this dongle? By the way I have a .bin file driver that I  get from its CD how could I convert it to a .tcz file?

Hi Stone.Giant
rt2870.bin  is contained in  firmware-ralinkwifi.tcz
Also, your Ralink adapter won't show up using  lspci  if that's what you were expecting. You need  lsusb  for that which is
provided by  usb-utils.tcz.

Hi Stone.Giant
You also need to install  wireless-3.8.10-tinycore.tcz  if you haven't done so already.

Hi thank you and sorry for late reply, I already installed what you have said and placed it on-boot section but I still  did'nt see my wireless device  in ifconfig
Code: [Select]
tc@box:~$ ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:F0:9F:36:1C 
          inet addr:192.168.1.110  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:2149398 (2.0 MiB)  TX bytes:177011 (172.8 KiB)

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:3656 (3.5 KiB)  TX bytes:3656 (3.5 KiB)

but I see it now  in lsusb command
Code: [Select]
tc@box:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Kindly tell me the step by step procedure to run this device. Should I modprobe this device but I dont now what folder it is in?
Code: [Select]

ifconfig will only show configured interfaces.
To see them all run 'ifconfig -a'.
Check dmesg to be sure you are not missing firmware.

Your dmesg doesn't show the device connected,  you might try dmesg | tail -50 to verify

If your device is a USB dongle type then try reinserting it into a different USB port then run dmesg again, the device should show up on the last few lines

I reinsert my wifi usb dongle into the main usb slot at the back of my desktop. What should be the output will I expect?

Ok my bad,  I should have said the driver for your device is not loaded

this is obviously your connected device
 usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-pci

should indicate something like this when both driver and firmware is loaded
Code: [Select]
[  537.204728] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci
[  537.330090] rtl8192cu: Chip version 0x10
[  537.412030] rtl8192cu: MAC address: 74:55:41:d3:5f:7b
[  537.412034] rtl8192cu: Board Type 0
[  537.412267] rtlwifi: rx_max_size 15360, rx_urb_num 8, in_ep 1
[  537.412311] rtl8192cu: Loading firmware rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin
[  537.418496] ieee80211 phy1: Selected rate control algorithm 'rtl_rc'
[  537.418856] rtlwifi: wireless switch is on

what is the output of " lsusb " ?

my lsusb is the same output as I recently posted:

tc@box:~$ lsusb

1. Boot with code "syslog"
2. Verify with lsusb that your device is shown
3. modprobe -v rt2800usb
4. Attach /var/log/messages here
