Ralink wifi cannot setup

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

Stone.Giant:
Sorry I missed the forum I had private conversation with coreplayer2 by the way heres my current log messages. Kindly find the attached file split into halves

Stone.Giant:
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...

coreplayer2:
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
