Slackware :: AE1000 / Rt3572sta Driver Not Letting Set Essid / Ap
Oct 4, 2010
I recently got an AE1000 USB Wireless adapter... In researching how to get it to work under Linux, I came across some helpful information on URL... that advised on how to download the ralink ra3572sta driver, which I did, and managed to successfully compile and install (for sake of reference, I'm using Slackware 13 with the 2.6.33-4 x86_64 kernel)
Suffice it to say I tried several other combinations of ra0 up and down, etc. My best luck came from editing the /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat file as suggested by the readme for the ralink driver, which lets me successfully "set" the essid for the adapter, but it doesn't associate the access point or receive any data, etc... Basically the only function that seems to be working is scanning for APs. Apparently this driver works under other distros like Fedora/Ubuntu that use NetworkManager, but I can't figure out why its not working for Slackware. The thought occurred to me to try the driver under 32bit distro and see if theres any difference, but wondered if anyone here had any experience with this adapter or could offer some advice to point me in the right direction on this one?

well I am a novice in Linux OS, I have a wireless card, it's a Linksys WUSB600N but it doesn't work in Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop Edition, which it is the one I have, 64 bits machine, so I read this [URL] and I did all the steps, I downloaded 2010_0915_RT3572_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.2.tar but in the last part, sudo make install I got this error
alain@alain:~/t/2010_0915_RT3572_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.2$ sudo make install
make -C /home/alain/t/2010_0915_RT3572_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.2/os/linux -f Makefile.6 install
mkdir: cannot create directory `/etc/Wireless': File exists
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/alain/t/2010_0915_RT3572_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.2/os/linux'
rm -rf /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA
mkdir /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA
[Code],,,,
so i have no way to get connected to the internet, what is that error cannot stat `rt3572sta.ko': No such file or directory, I think thats why i can make the wireless card work.

Here is the situation: I am currently running Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit. I'm trying to get my Linksys AE1000 to run correctly. I have followed many tutorials but most notably was:[URL].. lsmod shows that rt3572sta is loaded. network manager in gnome is able to find my router. my problem occurs when it tries to connect to the router using wpa2 security. It continually asks for the wireless password then will freeze the system after a number of attempts. After digging in for a bit, I was able to dig out a dmesg trapping the error:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffcfb0138af1ec
IP: [<ffffffffa021c7e8>] Cntl0idRTBssidProc+0x78/0x570 [rt3572sta]
PGD 0
Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP
last sysfs file: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/cache/index2/shared_cpu_map
CPU 2
I really don't see the need to continue on with those error messages lsmod still shows rt3572sta after the failure. In case anyone wants to see the changes I have made to the files before the make, I have included them. but changed the extension to "txt" to accommodate the up-loader and my rt_linux is too big to fit here, just not that it was 2 lines that were changed to work with the kernel. If anyone wants to know what I mean by the system freezes, I do mean just that. The mouse will continue to work, but I am then unable to open any programs, unable to reboot the computer. it requires a hard reset.
I have uninstalled the drivers, installed them, make them, make install them, make clean, start from scratch a few times, and am getting no give here.

I have managed to compile and install the driver for my linksys AE1000 adapter. I can scan and see my network (and several others) but can't seem to connect. I have read a few threads looking for clues but I can't seem to figure it out. My kernel is 2.6.35-24-generic and I am using the latest rt3572 driver (v2.5.0.0). Here are a couple of steps that I have taken:
1) The usb driver does work properly and connect on a Windows machine.
2) Temporarily removed security from my router (uses WPA2). Still can't connect.
3) Tried compiling and installing the previous version of the driver (2.4.0.2)

Alright yall, I just got my wireless usb device to work on ubuntu 10.10. I did alot of searching and I finally figured it out. this is what I did.
1.Download the linux drivers from this post, its called Ralink_RT3572USB_drv2400.zip
2.Extract them to a directory.
3.Make sure you have build-essential installed on your computer. you can do this by opening a terminal
and typing
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
4.Now install linux headers so that you can compile the drivers.
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
5.Now in your terminal goto where you extracted the Ralink_RT3572USB_drv2400 files.
once in that directory type

I recently purchased the Linksys AE1000 wireless USB network adapter. After some struggles, I found and installed the Ralink_RT3572USB_drv2400 driver for it and it now works, however it won't turn on when I boot up the computer. I have to manually unplug and then plug the adapter back in for it to work again. I followed the instructions on this how to for installing the driver.

I'm trying to bring my Slackware system back to life as my XP HDD is dying... I've got everything working except for my audio. I got a new motherboard (ASRock P43DE3) and it has a VIA VT1708S as the onboard audio. Is there any way I can get this working without rebuilding the kernel?

The linksys AE1000 is not supported by linux according to the linksys website. Are there any workarounds? I use this network adapter to connect to my wireless network, and it is basically useless at the moment.

I started a thread asking for advice in the hardware forum. I didn't want to post a duplicate thread, but I was unable to get it moved here, so I'm kindly asking you slackers to help me install the aforementioned driver.

I have a Linksys AE1000 wireless adapter. I managed to install the drivers and connect it to an unsecured network called "linksys" which I can access the internet with.
However, I now want to connect to a secured network but it won't let me!
For example, I've tried doing the following:
Code: sudo iwconfig ra0 essid "MyNetwork"
My commands. It should say, ESSID:"MyNetwork" on the top line.
I'm running Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS.

I can get a dual band cisco ae1000 to work with fedora 15, but the same steps taken on opensuse don't work. Has anyone managed to get this card working on opensuse 11.4 x64? If so, I've tried compiling a driver and using the repo for an rt3572sta. neither worked. The way i hacked the program (following a fedora forum) worked in fedora but not opensuse. I've tried blacklisting cards and making sure the module loads on boot.

Ok so I tried to follow the directions here: [URL] However, I couldn't find 2010_0915_RT3572_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.2.tar.bz2. Instead, the closest I could find was 2011_0407_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2 .5.0.2_DPO.bz2, so I tried it. I edited config.mk and rtusb_dev_id.c as chili555 advised. I tried to edit linux_rt.h, however, the only file I saw was rt_linux.h. I edited it according to chili555's post, message #7. I went back to the root directory of the extracted .bz2 file and did

I've tried a few different ways to install the ATI graphics driver "fglrx" to get 3D acceleration.If I try to install using the standard file "ati-driver-installer-10-4-x86.x86_64.run" from the ATI web site it appears to work but then I discover it actually got an error.I saw a reference to ATI requiring 32-bit libraries to install their 64-bit driver. Is there a link or post that explains how to add the 32-bit libraries. Will that solve the problem, or will I just waste more time trying that?

I recently got my Belkin USB wireless adapter working by following some other threads in these forums. Now I would like to connect to my access point. iwlist scan works great and I can see my AP along with others. However when I follow the step by step instructions here: [URL]... I fail during the DHCP request with no DHCPOFFERS. My AP is using WEP encryption for now (I've even tried it with open encryption). The thing that I'm seeing or not seeing is that when I set my essid using sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "GimpsHouse" and then after that do an iwconfig it says off/any. Here is my iwconfig

I can't get my wlan running, although it already worked on my notebook (Dell Inspiron 1545) with opensuse 11.1. Then I installed debian and, I don't know how, it changed my kernel in grub from .pae to .debug (renameing in grub didn't help)
According to the messages scanning fails
My wlan-controller is:
Router is avm Fritz!Box and is working fine with other notebooks and the lan of the Dell
I loaded down and installed the driver from Bradcom (hybrid-portsrc-x86_32-v5.10.91.9.3.tar.gz)
dmesg came up with a failure: not ipv6 server found - so I deactivated it

I'm using Slackware 64 on a HP dv2500 SE. I've been using wicd for my network connection. I have a Linksys wireless router. Recently I changed my ESSID to from the default linksys to something else. Now wicd, doesn't see my router as the new name. It still sees the linksys router but obviously can't connect to it. I have connected using the "find hidden network". Mostly i have to run iwconfig eth1 essid "newname"then dhcpcd eth1my question, how can i get wicd to see the newname and connect on it's own as it used to.

Does anyone know if I need to build the proprietary ATI drivers specifically for 32-bit, or do the 64-bit packages take care of 32-bit compatibility? If so, how would I do that?
I tried:
Code:
But the package has the same files as its 64-bit counterpart. The reason I'm asking is I'm trying to get Neverwinter Nights working and a post I found mentioned this problem.
I get a single line error: "Failed to initialize graphics."

I had a wireless connection to open suse from last year. I then had a problem with my Netgear 824 router.
I have reconnected to windows vista. Now I have to get opensuse working on wireless. I do not have much experience in opensuse I have read the forums and the sticky and also from wicd forums. I have checked the yast settings and it is for AR242x ath0 and Wired L2 100 eth0.
Details:-
Opensuse version 11 ,2.6.25-1.1 default
Laptop ASus F5RL
Atheros AR242x

Even though I am not new to Suse, I am still very inexperienced, especially when it comes to wireless. I am running Suse Linux 11.3 and I am having problems connecting to my wireless. My network controller is a RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01). I am recieving a signal from my wireless router, however when I try to connect to my ESSID via KnetworkManager It asks for a WEP key. After entering the key, Knetnetwork manager will try to connect for a minute or so and then it will ask for my WEP key again. It keeps repeating this cycle without ceasing. How to configure the WEP so that Knetwork manager will connect or a way around WEP.

Running BT5, aircrack-ng v. 1.1, Alfa AWUS036NH.
My curiosity has been aroused by a local AP that is not transmitting an ESSID. It also is neither transmitting beacon frames nor data.
The channel shows a negative one, as does the power. Facts:
1. I know this AP is nearby because, before they hid the ESSID, the power output was fairly high.
2. Airodump-ng shows -1 channel, -1 power, and a hidden ESSID, although the BSSID is visible. Neither the channel nor the encryption scheme are being transmitted.
3. Neither beacons nor data are being sent. I can determine the correct name of the ESSID from the probe field in airodump-ng
but that is all.
4. All attempts in aireplay-ng to dissociate the client fail with the message that "No such BSSID" is found!?
5. Kismet, on the other hand, does not even see the AP.
6. Loading the .cap file in Wireshark reveals no information about those packets for which the source, or dest, is the AP.

The wireless network on my laptop is configured with a static IP. (not using nm). When I take the laptop out of the range of my wireless router the essid is becoming off/any therefore when I'm back in range the connection is not reestablished and to re-enable the connection I gotta do "iwconfig wlan0 essid <essid name>" otherwise there is no connection. Make sure that essid stays configured unless I manually want to change it?

reinitializing my XFCE configuration. Log in outside of X (press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get a console login prompt or login via ssh) and then run the following commands:
mv /home/parkview/.config /home/parkview/.config.bkup
mv /home/parkview/.cache /home/parkview/.cache.bkup
that works exectp when i change the screen resalotion to 800x600. my screen doesnot like 1024x768. after i change it I cant log in any more tell i do
rm -vrf /home/parkview/.config

Today I downloaded the last debian iso, i booted it from cd, and at first i tried the graphical install but the mouse was stuck in the middle of the screen, although the left click was working... So i started the normal install (with just text), while installing it said me that i needed a firmware "not free", installable by a usb o cd, it was something like "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.bin", so i skipped this step. Then when i had to configure the network, i typed my network's essid and the password, but it said that the essid was incorrect, so i skipped also this step... at the end i have debian installed without GUI...
My pc is hp 250 g3....

For a while now, I have multibooted my Vista installation with Ubuntu. However, up until now I have been happy with Ubuntu being in charge of my boot options. I am wanting to change my bootloader so that when my machine boots, and no choices are made at the boot menu, Vista automatically starts after a set amount of time instead of Ubuntu.
I know the boys over at APC have a guide on how to do this, but it involves copying information from the menu.lst file and using EasyBCD - I was wondering if these steps will still work now that I am running Karmic Koala, which I understand uses a different method of changing GRUB entries (manipulating the menu.lst file is no longer part of this process and is no longer recommended)
If someone could tell me how to put Vista in charge of my boot options so that it will boot automatically instead of Linux, that would be greatness.
