Using wifi WUSB600n with tc3 - Does it work?
« on: May 13, 2010, 04:33:37 PM »
Not happy to hear about this since I have been hoping I could now use my WUSB600n with tc3.

Any thoughts on this matter?

I'm out on the prowl for a new Wireless Device to replace my WUSB600n Version 2 by Linksys. Main reason behind this being the method for getting the driver to work on Linux under kernel 2.6.33 is now failing (something missing under this new kernel revision that just doesn't go gravy when compiling the driver as I understand it).

Have you tried with the wireless extension? The pci id from http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_part.php?brandname=Linksys
is listed in rt2800usb.c in my 2.6.33.3 tree.

I've installed:

# wireless_tools.tcz
# wireless-2.6.33.3-tinycore.tcz
# wpa-supplicant.tcz

"iwconfig" reports wlan0 present and not associated

"iwlist wlan0 scanning" reports "failed to read scan data: Network is down"

modules loaded include rt2800usb and rt2x00usb and a couple rt2..libs

I'm running a dlink 614 802.11n (n only no b or g) access point wifi network

"iwconfig wlan0 essid any" reports "SET failed on device wlan0, operation not permitted"

Interface is down. First try to turn it on.

My advice is to install WICD and let it do all necessary preparation. If it works with WICD, you can find proper console commands, if you want that way.

Tried wicd no dice.

The adapter does not turn on. Going back to tc2.11 and my old wg511 adapter to see if that works, If that doesn't work I'll create a separate post so as to not create confusion as it relates to tc3.

This site gives instructions on how to get it working. (Note: Involves compiling.)
