Hey Guys,
since I had a lot of trouble with my WIFI (D-Link DWL-G122 ver. E1) I'll post a small tutorial:
First of all the kernel: enable all of the following options.
| Code: | [*] Enable loadable module support --->
[*] Networking support --->
-*- Wireless --->
<*> cfg80211 - wireless configuration API
[*] cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility
[*] Wireless extensions sysfs files
<*> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)
[*] Device Drivers --->
[*] Network device support --->
[*] Wireless LAN --->
#Disable Ralink here
< > Ralink driver support --->
[*] Staging drivers --->
<M> Ralink 2870/3070 wireless support |
I guess a lot more but this is what I had to change 
Next download the driver from ralink http://www.ralinktech.com/ (Software -> Linux). The one I used is RT8070/RT3070USB(RT307x) ––– hint name x and mail x is enough 
extract it using your favorite extractor example:
| Code: | | tar -xjf DPO_RT3070_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.4_20100604.tar.bz2 |
Next thing I had was that I use kernel 2.6.36 which is not really compatible with this Version. so I had to change a few things: here are some patches http://gentoo.pastebin.ca/1960947
Since this is my first try to write a patch you might be better of doing it yourself :
so in the file os/linux/rt_usb_util.c just replace usb_buffer_alloc with usb_alloc_coherent and usb_buffer_free with usb_free_coherent.
In addition to that I fixed a warning by replacing if(!erq->flags & IW_ENCODE_MODE) with if(!erq->flags && IW_ENCODE_MODE) in os/linux/sta_ioctl.c
Now the code should compile just fine using make and you can install it using make install
after that you have to copy the firmware file to /lib/firmware
| Code: | | cp common/rt3070.bin /lib/firmware/rt3070.bin |
now restart and it might work
best enaut
PS: feel free to ask if anything is wrong or not complete |

Great guide.
It was the only one that I could find that actually worked. Only difference is I downloaded the firmware from http://www.ralink.com.tw/support.php?s=2.
Choose the Firmware RT28XX/RT30XX USB series (RT2870/RT2770/RT3572/RT3070)
Rename the rt2870.bin to rt3070.bin and it works.
Thanks.. |
