Looks like tinypoodle has got this, it appears the driver is rt2x00usb.ko

rt2x00usb is a dependency of rt2800usb, so I'd expect it to get loaded automatically.

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

Sorry I dont know how to start with step 1. Could you give me the actual script to boot with code syslog? Thanks.

Once you set the boot bode "syslog" the system messages are in /var/log/messages

Hi Stone.Giant,

edit your bootloader's configuration file, f.i. extlinux.cfg in case you use extlinux bootloader. Now simply type "syslog" as a further bootcode. Save the file and reboot your system.

Having done this follow instructions 2 through 4 given by tinypoodle.

I agree entirely, something is a miss here and is likely due to a mix of kernel module versions (apparently there are both 3.8.10 & 3.8.13 modules installed)   first plan is to update all so we're on the right page, then add syslog boot code if needed.

I wish I had this wifi dongle

I tried to modprobe -v rt2800usb.ko.gz without rebooting and it enlisted in lsmod but still no wifi. And when I rebooted the module is gone after lsmod...

I'm beginning to see the problem


modinfo rt2800usb | grep 5370 
 reveals that in this version of the rt2800usb module there is no Alias/support for 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter  So the module will not automatically load when the device is inserted.

Am not even sure that "rt2870.bin" is the correct firmware either..


However I'd try loading
wifi.tcz  and
firmware-ralinkwifi.tcz

then modprobe it

How can I sort which belongs to wifi.tcz and firmware-ralinkwifi.tcz so that I can modprobe it specifically....

I believe you'll need to load the firmware then modprobe the rt2800usb module

Good luck
