wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/rt2400/rt2570-1.1.0-b2.tar.gz?download
Preparation If not installed already, these packages need to be installed.
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` gcc-3.4
At the time this was written driver was rt2570-1.1.0-b1. If driver is updated commands will need to change to that file name.
Step 1 Download and untar file
Get file Go here and choose the rt2570beta driver. You'll get a choice of mirrors where to download from. Save it to file.
Now copy the file to /usr/src Code:
sudo cp /path/to/file/rt2570-1.1.0-b1.tar.gz /usr/src/
Move to /usr/src Code:
cd /usr/src
Untar file Code:
sudo tar -xzvf rt2570-1.1.0-b1.tar.gz
Move into file Code:
cd rt2570-1.1.0b1/Module
Step 2 Make and install file
sudo make
sudo make install
Step 3 Set up and load module
make a directory for the .ko file Code:
sudo mkdir /lib/modules/`uname -r`/drivers/
copy file over to new directory Code:
sudo cp /lib/modules/2.6.12/extra/rt2570.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/drivers/
Then insert module into kernel Code:
sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/drivers/rt2570.ko
sudo lsmod -a
Configure your wireless device through /etc/network/interfaces. Here is a sample file.
iface rausb0 inet dhcp wireless-essid apname wireless-key xxxxxxxxx wireless-mode Managed auto rausb0
restart the networking service
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
Now try to bring up your device
sudo ifconfig rausb0 up
To load module at boot add it to /etc/modules file
sudo echo rt2570 >> /etc/modules
wget http:// prdownloads. sourceforge. net/rt2400/ rt2570- 1.1.0-b2. tar.gz? download
