 Posted: Thu Oct 04, 2012 11:15 pm Post subject: Help compiling ralink drivers for rt3573 |
 |
|
Hi,
I have a Cisco/Linksys AE3000 (13b1:003b) (chipset ralink 3573) 3x3 11n usb dongle.
Chipset is not supported by in-kernel rt2800usb yet.
Downloaded drivers from ralink, trying to compile them and get:

My kernel is 3.5.4-pf, tried different gcc's, linux firmware is 20120924, I tried to compile in CONFIG_RT2X00 and even CONFIG_RT2800USB in case they need to pull a library I didn't have.
Also tried other versions found on the net.
I had no luck, always the same error.
My uname -a if it matters: Linux localhost 3.5.4-pf #4 SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 5 00:32:51 CEST 2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8800 @ 2.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
I googled a bit, many people experienced similar errors but were for other chipset of ralink, that was at staging drivers at then kernel 3.0, I could not extrapolate anything useful info...
Any help? |

Wow thank you very much!!! This was very helpful for me to get my rt5572 driver built as well 
Now I only have to get a connection to my router ...  |

To my surprise, it worked!! Thank you.
My next problem:
I try to search for APs but wicd immediately returns that no one was found.
With 3.5.4-pf system crashed within a couple of minutes (pid: kworker)
I downloaded 3.6.1-pf (which is a 3.6.0 patched actually) and deselected CONFIG_RT2800USB but kept CONFIG_RT2X00
I recompiled ralink driver, but no luck. At least the system with the new kernel does not hang anymore.
My only change to ralink source apart from the addition of usb id, is setting HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT to "y".
A piece of dmesg:

However the most interesting was iwconfig:
| Code: |

|
What is the "11n-AP"? There is no such an AP in range! At least my onboard wifi card did not see it.
The led of the stick flashes continuously all the time, as it is indeed connected.
Any ideas?
ps: I have not disabled my other wifi card (iwlwifi), is this a problem? |
