Ralink wifi cannot setup

[georgp24]

I got a Ralink RT2501/RT2573 (USB wireless adapter) working in Core Linux 477 now.

In dmesg it showed up as "rt73usb". It was automatically detected, "iwconfig" showed it as "wlan0". I had installed "firmware-ralinkwifi.tcz" from 5.x though via onboot.lst so this may have helped.

So all I had to do then was to run "sudo wifi.sh" and connect to the network. This was an open access point.

I also tried a Ralink PCI adapter before. For this I had to do "sudo modprobe rt61pci" before it showed up with iwconfig.

Also helpful was the "rfkill" utility which shows if the adapter is blocked somehow. I found that I had to press the wifi button first to remove the "hard blocked" state. After that I entered "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" to enable the adapter.

So in your case I would do:
"sudo modprobe rt73usb" and see if it then shows up in iwconfig. If yes, enter "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" followed by "sudo wifi.sh".

Hope this helps.

I did not download firmware-ralinkwifi.tcz but I saw rt73usb and modprobe it

Here are the links from my CD firmware maybe this will help you identify which should I modprobe. Thanks.

Since I used Corelinux I had to add firmware-ralinkwifi.tcz, I guess Coreplus already comes with this firmware.

What you list seems to indicate that rt73usb is loaded, but I would just try to load it anyway with "sudo modprobe rt73usb". Maybe it then shows up with iwconfig.

You may also look at dmesg after some time again. I currently have trouble with a Broadcom wifi adapter. After booting the dmesg log looked ok for me, but after unsuccessfully running wifi.sh and other tools I looked at dmesg again and there were several errors reported.

I agree that this is probably not very helpful for you.

[georgp24]

You could also compile a  RT5370 usb driver as described here:
[Tutorial] Howto install ralink RT5370 wifi adapter: http://forum.stmlabs.com/showthread.php?tid=8333

[Stone.Giant]

Thanks for that info I'll try ASAP

[coreplayer2]

This is one of two files sent to you already, though from a different source.   Be nice to see if it or the new driver (compiled with rt5370 support) from the kernel source works with your adapter

Hi!

I do not understand exactly.
Eeveryone gave up or solved just i not understand something?

Because i have same problem.

PC: Dell Wyse r0x tinycore current iso stick: Tenda W311Ma

Code: [Select]

https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Tenda_W311MaTCz .: firmware-raliknwifi wifi usbutils wireless4.2.9-tinycore
installed

when i plug another port :
Dmesg write: usb 1-6: new high-speed USB device number 8 using ehci-pci

sudo  modprope -v  rt2800usb
Dmesg write: usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2800usb
but nothing.

Someone have idea or buy another adapter? (RTL)

Thanks

[curaga]

Support for that chip, 5370, was still experimental (and still is as of 4.8), so it's disabled in our kernel.

You can either build a custom kernel, or get a better supported stick. Atheros ones are excellent.

[Gera99]

Ok Master.
Thanks for that info. 

[bmarkus]

Is it supported by Windows? If yes you can try ndiswrapper.
