You must add your device's USB ID to the file immediately after the #define RT73_USB_DEVICES comment, unless it is listed in the original. Did you use chmod above to make the files read write for you? gedit rtmp_def.h You will have to add your device's USB ID, in this case we add the IF for the F5D70. tar -xvzf cd permissions are not correct on the files, so change them to 755 using chmod: chmod -R 775 *Ĭhange all of the files to the UNIX text type: fromdos *Ĭopy the Makefile.6 file into the Makefile to prepare for a 2.6 Linux kernel build: cp Makefile.6 MakefileĮdit the file rtmp_def.h and near the end of the file is a section that deals with the USB IDs of the devices that the driver works with. Note, this is the "Module" sub-directory of the extracted tree. Using tar extract the archived driver and change directory into the build area.
You can get the driver into your current directory with the following wget command: wget The latest at the time I am writing this is: Step 3 - Download the latest version of the Ralink RT2571W/RT2671 USB driver Install the todos and fromdos utilities for converting files from DOS/Windows text to UNIX text (required later in the process): sudo apt-get install tofrodos Install the correct headers for your version of Ubuntu: (don't worry if it tells you that yours are up to date.) sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build You will need to install the essential build files to compile the driver: sudo apt-get sudo apt-get install build-essential
Step 2 - Prepare the Linux build environment The blacklisted module will not be loaded from now on.
You need to blacklist the existing rt73 module which is not working: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklistĪdd the following three lines to the end of the file: # Added when rt73 module was installed Note: I have only tested this using 128bit (104bit) WEP. This should work for other devices that are compatible with the Ralink rt73 driver as long as the device's USB ID is put into the rtmp_def.h per the procedure below.ĭ-Link DWL-G122 Rev B1 USB Device 2001:3c00ĭ-Link DWL-G122 Rev C1 USB Device 07d1:3c03Ĭonceptronic C54RU v2 USB Device 14b2:3c22Īs well as any other devices that are supported by the rt73 driver.įor this example we assume that we are building the device in the user's home directory. If installed correctly the rt73 devices provide impressive plug and play wireless networking.
In addition this procedure has been tested successfully on other Linux distributions. This document was prepared based upon Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) distribution, but other versions should be usable as well. F5D70 - USB ID 050d:705a - Ralink rt73 Driver Installation
