A: D-Link DWA 127 Rev. B1 not working

I have compiled the ratek driver http://cdn-cw.mediatek.com/Downloads/linux/2010_0709_RT2870_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1.tar.bz2 . It throws two errors but they could be corrected by replacing: "current_fsuid()" by "current_fsuid().val" "current_fsgid()" by "current_fsgid().val" Then: make clean ...

Can you write a better answer, that everyone can follow?

No because it's not working. Now I get rt28xx initialized fail error in dmesg. If I can solve this I will rewrite the solution.

You probably need to blacklist rt2800usb. echo "blacklist rt2800usb" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rt2800usb.conf

And give output of ` modprobe -c | grep -i 2001 | grep -i 3d04`

modprobe -c | grep -i 2001 | grep -i 3d04 : install rt2870sta modprobe --ignore-install rt2870sta; /bin/echo 2001 3d04 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870/new_id

3:35 PM

Will you finally give output of the command it previous comment? I asked 2 times already. But you keep posting that command.

This is the output of modprobe -c .... install rt2870sta modprobe --ignore-install rt2870sta; /bin/echo 2001 3d04 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870/new_id

It can't be

Post here output of

modprobe -c | grep -i 2001 | grep -i 3d04

If this is it, then you did all wrong

That should not be there

3:56 PM

yes, this must be a previous attempt to work out this issue

I get rid of this and now the output of modprobe -c | grep -i 2001 | grep -i 3d04 is empty

So, let's try to start it a normal way

Ok!

Unplug the dongle

Run

sudo modprobe rt2870sta

Done

Did it give any output?

3:58 PM

no

good

run

echo "2001 3d04" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2800usb/new_id

echo "2001 3d04" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870sta/new_id

Only seconf

second

/sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870sta <- it doesn't exist

/sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870sta does exist

/sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870 does exist (sorry)

so, was there an error or not?

echo "2001 3d04" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870sta/new_id -> it throws an error: /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870sta doesn't exist

does or does NOT?

4:02 PM

does NOT

hold on

give output of

lsmod | grep rt28

rt2870sta 626184 0

ls /sys/bus/usb/drivers/

hub rt2870 usb usbfs usbhid usb-storage

OK

echo "2001 3d04" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870/new_id

4:05 PM

done

modprobe -c | grep -i 2001 | grep -i 3d04

empty

Plugin the dongle

and again

modprobe -c | grep -i 2001 | grep -i 3d04

plugged in, run

empty

Hm...hold on

dmesg | tail

4:08 PM

ERROR!! NicLoadFirmware failed status [0x000000001]

rt28xx initialized fail

Nicloadfirmware: MCU is not ready

Try to download firmware form Mediatek and put it to /lib/firmware

Maybe it is newer

And also blacklist

blacklist rt2800usb
blacklist rt2800lib
blacklist rt2x00usb
blacklist rt2x00lib

blacklist done

Reboot and try again

How did you blacklist?

I have put them in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

correct

Then reboot and do

sudo modprobe rt2870sta

Then

echo "2001 3d04" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870/new_id

Then plugin dongle and

dmesg | tail

And

4:14 PM

rebooting

modinfo rt2870sta | grep 3d04

same previous output

Nothing?

modinfo rt2870sta | grep 3d04 -> empty result

Hold on

Maybe we install a wrong driver

4:27 PM

xD

I an trying to find it. I lost Windows driver

I saw, in the drivers' CD a rt2870.inf driver

Are you sure?

I saw it too. But why it does not work

But was there any other inf?

let me check

look here too

arnelborja.com/compiling-rt2870-wifi-driver-in-fedora

4:34 PM

net28u.inf for win7 x86

no, then it should be rt2870

And it works with 3.13

linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/…

I suggest doing one good thing

go to the driver source

Go out for a beer

xD

What do I need to check in driver source?

find common/rtusb_dev_id.c

and add there

{USB_DEVICE(0x2001,0x3d04)},

Then compile it with

make clean

make

sudo make install

You will find where to add

Among others

It will add VID and PID there. So no need to echo it.

Then reboot and do

sudo modprobe rt2870sta

working...

5:07 PM

now the alias is registered

when modprobe -c | grep -i 2001 | grep -i 3d04

alias usb:v2001:p3d04d*dc ...

I have plug in the dongle

dmesg is giving the same error

Then try to download and replace firmware

and compare old and new files

are they same?

At Mediatek there is a firmware also

it is rt2870.bin

Should be placed to /lib/firmware

And also try

ifup ra0

I found rt2870 in source

It looks like the current in Ubuntu is newer

same result

ra0 is shown?

And also do

sudo depmod -a
