 Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 8:55 am Post subject: Problem setting up D-Link DWA-140 wireless usb adapter |
 |
|
I have this USB wifi stick, it should be Ralink rt2870 device.
I've build the staging driver (rt2870sta, gentoo-sources-2.6.32-r7), downloaded the firmware from vendor (it is 8192 bytes long rt2870.bin file).
Unfortunately, I don't get the network interface (should be wlan0). I'm using udev-149, baselayout 1.12.13.
Could somebody please point me to what to try?
Here's some additional info:

run does wlan0 or ra0 appear? I don't remember in which kernel version the staging driver switched from ra0 to wlan0 but think it was 2.6.33.
If "it" does not appear, you have no driver. What does lsmod show? Did you avoid selecting the broken builtin kernel driver?
If "it" appears the interface exists and has a driver.
| Code: | ifconfig <ra0 or wlan0> up
ifconfig |
if "it" appears you have a working interface.
If you have emerged wireless-tools and wpa_supplicant you are ready to configure the network connection. |

ifconfig shows nothing (well, eth0 and lo, but it's not what want...) - I know how to use ifconfig
You said I should disable builtin driver - I didn't found such thing in 2.6.32-gentoo-r7 (and searching for 'RT2' in .config gives me only staging drivers).
I tried vanilla 2.6.34.1 as well, and the result is the same...
In lsmod, there's line 'rt2870sta 381280 0'.
Is there any way how to list usb manufacturer and device ids that are registered with the kernel at the moment in my kernel?
I have a suspicion here, because the sources are a little bit messy here... |

I have a 2870 working on kernel 2.6.34. I did a firmware download. Extracted to /lib/firmware as /lib/firmware/RT2870_Firmware_V22. I have a copy of the license at /usr/portage/licenses/ralink-firmware. I have the sloppy ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" in /etc/make.conf. Researching through this brings faint memory of accepting license becoming a problem with 2.6.34.
| Code: | emerge usbutils lshw
lsusb -vv >> /usbvv
lshw >> lshw |
will give searchable huge files with probed info
for graphical; lshw does show driver as rt2870sta here |
