Base CorePlus: Connect WiFi

<< < (3/5) > >>

Hamma:
How about that? I've been so concerned with getting a wifi interface I overlooked that pen thing.

All that wifi thing on the bar does after loading my driver, which lsmod confirms, is open with a "sudo" titlebar and empty cursor before closing out some ten or so seconds later.

Understanding your repos dependency model, is there anything else I should check or have loaded before again attempting to reach the net?

Thanks for the welcome.

Juanito:
What is the name of the WiFi driver loaded?

What does dmesg say when your WiFi driver is loaded?

Hamma:
Hope you folks had a nice weekend. I sure did.

As for our dilemma, my device, the "[148f:5372] Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5372 Wireless Adapter" shows as a new interface registered by usbcore.

cfg80211 failed to load as well as the firmware "regulatory.db - exit 2."

You can all relax. I'm going to place this project on the back-burner for now.

Thanks for all the help thus far..

Juanito:
I believe you need the rt2870.bin firmware provided by the firmware-ralinkwifi extension and the rt2800usb.ko driver provided by the wireless-KERNEL extension - as long as you load this before the wifi extension, things should work.

If you load the firmware-ralinkwifi extension after wifi/wireless-KERNEL, things will not work.

cfg80211 is also provided by wireless-KERNEL and the regulatory.db warning can be ignored most of the time.

Hamma:
So how do I make sure wifi isn't loaded until I'm ready?
