Ubuntu Networking :: Linksys WUSB600N Connects On Startup And Then Disconnects?
Jan 17, 2011
Im having another problem with my wireless in Maverick, Im at my wits end with this thing and dont know what to do next. I followed Dev0's from this thread.And now when ever I start my computer I get a notification that says "Linksys C" connected. Then only a few seconds later it says Disconnected and then from then on every few minutes the Password prompt pops up and then I enter my password and then it just keeps going in that cycle until I click cancel.
I think lightning may have killed it. It was working fine. Now I cant get it recognized no matter what I do. It also quit working in Win XP where I never had a problem with it because it had its own connection software.
dmesg yields this- RTUSB disconnect successfully [ 312.876034] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7 [ 312.996021] usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 [ 313.220031] usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 [ 313.436038] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8 [ 313.556025] usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 [ 313.780031] usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 [ 313.996032] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 9 [ 314.404022] usb 2-1: device not accepting address 9, error -71 [ 314.516021] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 10 [ 314.924029] usb 2-1: device not accepting address 10, error -71 [ 314.924046] hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 [ 343.664017] pan0: no IPv6 routers present [ 809.024049] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10 [ 809.182271] usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 809.182837] [ 809.182839] [ 809.182840] === pAd = ffffc20020b41000, size = 598568 === [ 809.182841] [ 809.182845] <-- RTMPAllocAdapterBlock, Status=0 guest3@guest3-desktop:~$
i cant connect to my wireless network... im using karmic. Ive searched and found quite a lot of threads but arent sure where to start. I have a Linksys wusb600n, and are trying to connect to my network. It detects the network fine but doesnt connect.
My OS is Linux Xubuntu 11.04 (32 bits) and I'm trying to get Linksys Wusb600n network adapter to work. I followed this post and did all that was written in it... almost. When i came to blacklisting, I blacklisted all drivers that starts with rtx (where x is any digit). Here are lines that I pasted in blacklist.conf:
The problem: I do see all available networks. So I guess... it somehow works. Anyway, problem is that it does not connect successfully to my network. I click on it - it asks my password. I enter it and click 'Connect'. Nothing, except that network icon is started to like spin around (trying to connect, I guess), happens. After few minutes, it asks for password.... again. I enter it and all starts from the beginning. Its like a loop! Note: I don't have any other things installed except linux-firmware-nonfree_1.9_all.deb and, don't know how successfully, but RT3572USB 2.5.0.0.
Wireless connects fine, then disconnects regularly. I thought it might be an issue with the rt2870sta driver, so I blacklisted it, and it uses rt2800usb now:
Code: [ 13.625932] rt2870sta: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned. [ 13.633139] usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2870
This problem is fixed in the upcoming kernel, 2.6.34. You can either wait until Canonical releases the update, or download, build and install the 2.6.34 kernel manually. The instructions to do so are HERE. It's fairly easy.I'm having a problem on Lucid (amd64) with a Linksys WUSB54Gv4 usb wifi adapter. After some time (varies between ~10 mins to a few hours), the connection is lost. However, in my case I can't connect back. It tries to establish the connection, then pops up the dialog asking for the WEP key again. It will do this repeatedly, not ever connecting back.This is basically how the disconnect looks in dmesg:Quote:
[ 2657.920014] phy0 -> rt2500usb_set_device_state: Error - Device failed to ente r state 1 (-16). [ 2658.120008] phy0 -> rt2500usb_set_device_state: Error - Device failed to enter state 3 (-16).
As title suggests, this is about my USB wireless adapter Linksys WUSB54G ver.4 periodically failing. Now, the exact problem AND solution was posted on this thread:

Essentially, I have to try a new kernel or something. I downloaded the kernel 2.6.34 at http://kernel.org/ which is supposed to solve my networking problem. But above thread suggests building my own kernel somehow [URL] and some of its steps are unfortunately not straightforward as copy-and-paste and i'm afraid i can't go on after trying to mimic command prompts a few times.
I tried referring to other sites, like
[URL]
but their suggested steps aren't exactly the same, or maybe they are really but i'm too dumb to see it.
I think I managed to copy the config file (i hope i chose the right one) and put it to the extracted folder of new kernel I just downloaded, but "Build the linux-image and linux-header .deb files" ?
I see a bunch of posts about WUSB600N, often telling folks to download and compile proprietary drivers from ralink's website. With Ubuntu 11.04, getting WUSB600N to work might be as simple as disabling rt2870sta (for rev1). If you have rev 2 card, driver to disable is I believe rt3572sta. Even if you need to recompile drivers by hand, the right thing to do is to first try nightly build of rt2x00 drivers from [URL], and fall back to ralink provided drivers only if things do not work out with rt2x00 drivers. I saw recent updates on rt2x00 mailing list for rt3572 chip, give it a try if you have rev 2 card.
WUSB600N rev 1 (rt2870 chip) should "just work" with rt2x00 driver included with 2.6.38 kernel in Ubuntu 11.04. At least it works for me. You may need to blacklist rt2870sta driver from staging directory so that it does not load and interfere with rt2x00 drivers. There's one small annoying issue with power save mode on rt2870 chip when rt2x00 is in use, which seems to have just been fixed upstream. Most users will never notice it, but if you do notice card re-connecting to AP every 10-20 minutes or so, simply disable power saving, and all will be smooth (iwconfig wlan0 power off). If you have an older Ubuntu release (kernel 2.6.35) and rev 1 card, you should be able to download nightly build of rt2x00 driver from [URL]. It worked for me just fine with previous Ubuntu releases.
i'm very new at this and tried to install Linksys WUSB600N v2what i would like to know how uninstall any drivers/ software i may have already put on the os. how can i verifry that the device is functional after installing drivers.
my wireless adapter(WUSB600N) doesn't run when I log in. The driver is loaded on start-up but the green light is not on the adapter. I have to physically disconnect the adapter and plug it back in to get it recognised and it works fine afterwards
I started a fedora 15 live cd last night, and at the top right corner, i noticed that wireless was not active. Right mouse button on the internet icon showed me that fedoar recognized the usb device as it is,, a Linksys WUSB600N wireless lan.
However, fedora warned me that the firmware was not available, therefore i was not able to configure the WUSB600N. To be specific,, it's the V2 version.
My question is,, does this device work with linux fedora? i assume that i need to install the required firmware in order to use the device.
FC13 i686. Trying to compile a driver for Linksys WUSB600N Ver. 2 from a Ralink driver.tar.gz. Below is a portion of the output of the compile, I can't put this whole output on this LinuxQuestions Website it is to large.

After much tiddling'n'fiddling I finally got my new Linksys WUSB600N v2 working. Contrary to many posts, mine did NOT work with either the standard rt2870sta module, nor the updated version from the driver:wireless repo. Also the rt2870 version from the ralink website didn' t work. After a days worth of Googling I came across this post. The bottom line?
1. Download rt3572 from the Ralink website. 2. Add {USB_DEVICE(0x1737,0x0079)}, /* WUSB600N v2 */ to common/rtusb_dev_id.c 3. Follow README_STA
I did not install firmware packages. And be sure the rt2800sta module doesn' t get loaded. (you could just remove it, I suppose.)
I have a laptop running 11.2 with an internal Broadcom-based Wi-Fi card that's working fine. I'm trying to get 802.11n going with the WUSB600N. The USB ID on this device is 1737:0079. I believe this means it's a "V2" with an RT3572 chip.
No driver loads for this device when it's plugged in. If I do a "modprobe rt2870sta", a driver loads, and syslog shows "rtusb init" and "usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2870". But ifconfig -a doesn't show a new network interface. I've also tried building the RT3572 driver from the manufacturer's web site. It builds fine, and modprobe will load it, but I get the same results as the rt2870sta driver.
I'm new to openSUSE and as a matter of fact, to linux too. I've got a Linksys WUSB600N wireless adapter which used to work fine with some live versions of linux that I was testing out before moving onto suse... Each time, upon booting using live CDs, I used to copy the driver I had downloaded from:
Then 'make' and get into the driver's os/linux directory to load the driver using 'insmod rt2870sta.ko' Now, upon doing a 'make' and 'make install', followed by the 'insmod rt2870sta.ko', I get the error saying:
insmod: error inserting 'rt2870sta.ko': -1 Invalid module format
I tried doing 'modprobe -rv rt2870sta' and didn't get any error messages. But while doing 'modprobe -v', this error shows up: insmod /lib/modules/2.6.27.7-9-default/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2870sta.ko FATAL: Error inserting rt2870sta (/lib/modules/2.6.27.7-9-default/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2870sta.ko): Invalid module format
Though under Windows my Internet connection works fine and fluent under Debian linux it connects and disconnects repeatedly at short amounts of time. It didn't used to be like that but at a certain time i was forced to install pppoeconf to get my DSL internet connection going, after that even if i've uninstall pppoeconf and now i'm only using nm-applet to monitor my internet connection i still have this annoying problem.
I'm trying to install a Linksys WUSB600n dual-band USB wireless-N adapter onto a desktop system with opensuse 11.1 installed; this system will be migrating to a back porch with no cabling access, hence the wireless solution. Everything works fine under Windows XP, but on Linux, not so much. Hardware info is as follows; there is no "Wireless LAN" entry, but there is a USB entry:
I've read many threads about the Linksys WUSB600n (both versions), and tried the suggested solutions to no avail in 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04. Compiling my own drivers, adding items to the blacklist, and even a clumsy driver transplant from 32-bit 9.10 have all failed. So here's the sitch: I have a Linksys WUSB600n v1 that works perfectly in 9.10 with only the minor modification posted by chili555 in this thread HTML Code: [URL] That solution was: "
I've tried the same in a clean install of 10.04, but no connection is made and a prompt comes up every few minutes asking for the password. I've used the included rt2870 driver in 9.10 without problems. My wireless-N network uses WPA2 personal encryption, which has never given me issues. The usb id of my adapter, per lsusb, is ID 1737:0071
I have a WUSB600N v2 and it is working great for me. Here is all you have to do. Go here and download the RT3572USB driver [URL] The file you download is called 2009_1222_RT3572_LinuxSTA_V2[1].3.0.0.tar.bz2 expand it with the command "tar xjf 2009_1222_RT3572_LinuxSTA_V2[1].3.0.0.tar.bz2"
open the file os/linux/config.mk and edit the following lines: Change HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=n to HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y and Change HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n to HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y Next edit the file common/rtusb_dev_id.c and add the USB ID of the card to it. {USB_DEVICE(0x1737,0x0079)}, /* WUSB600Nv2 */
sudo make sudo make install reboot and your done.
If you have added the USB device to any other drivers following other threads you will want to either remove that line and recompile those drivers OR black list those drivers. After doing the above this NIC is working great for me in Ubuntu 9.10 and getting N speeds.
I was wondering if anyone figured out the WUSB600N ver1 with Ubuntu 10.4 yet. It's the chipset rt2870sta which works perfectly on Ubuntu 9.10 after blacklisting the other RT2x modules but following the same steps as I would 9.10 on the new release of Ubuntu won't allow me to connect via wifi at all. I went back to 9.10 for now but was hoping this would be resolved soon.
I've managed to install my WUSB600N on 10.10 (which was NOT easy!!) and I can see all my local wireless networks, but I can't connect - it attempts to connect then disconnects after what I guess is timing out.I know that you can place these cards in broadcast mode (I think), where you can see networks but not connect. Considering that to get this card working I had to attempt about four different sets of instructions to get this far, could I have placed the card in a broadcast mode? I've been at this for about three days, and unless I go out an buy another network card (I'm currently connected using it through windows) then I'm going to have to give up on Linux, which I really don't want to
I hate kernel upgrades, at least on my laptop. Every time I upgrade, I have to recompile the driver for my Linksys WUSB600N adapter or it doesn't work. Usually, this is no problem, as I have the driver saved in a .tar file and all I have to do is 'make' and 'make install' and it works. BUT... This time, I tried that, and I get this:
I have just installed a fresh copy of 9.10 on an older Compaq nc6000 laptop. I need some help getting my Linksys WUSB600N wireless adapter to function properly.
I have "half-way" connectivity, meaning that I can see (and connect to) my home wireless network but I can't connect to the internet (unless I use the wired connection). I have installed NDIS wrapper - no change
There was quite a bit of threads about this card, and getting it to work mostly boils down to downloading Ralink's propitiatory driver. The card uses RT2870 chipset, and Ubuntu comes with two drivers that are supposed to support it, neither of which seems to work with WUSB600N. One of the drivers included with Ubuntu detects networks operating on 2.4GHz but fails to connect to them, but does not detect 5GHz networks at all.
I was wondering if anybody knows what is so special with this card that it doesn't work with drivers that are shipped with Ubuntu? The card works nicely with Ralink's driver, but it's a bit annoying to have to recompile it on every kernel update (would be much nicer if it worked with stock drivers).
I managed to find an older version of the rt3572 driver to compile to get this dongle to work fine, and it did. After that I added "module rt3572sta" (or whatever it is, not on Ubuntu to check now) to the end of /etc/modules. However, when I boot up Ubuntu, most of the time the driver won't load. If I run 'modprobe rt3572sta' from the terminal, I get this message -
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
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.
I have just started to work on Ubuntu (Ubuntu 10.4 LTS) and I am having some problems to get a WUSB600N vers. 2 802.11n adapter working. I have followed the procedure described at [URL] . The compilation has been successful and I can see the kernel loaded an the module detected:
Code:
adrien@ubuntu:/$ lsmod | grep rt3572 rt3572sta 612272 1 adrien@ubuntu:/$ lsusb Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
[code]....
The wireless adapter is detected by the system and it can scan the neighboring APs (cf. below with MAC address made unreadable):
I've got a Zotac MAG HD-ND01 with XBMC live installed. This is built on Karmic Koala and runs very nicely through the wired NIC.
I configure the box using a cable. I'm using WPA2-PSK and it is clearly authenticating OK.. It gets an IP address.. the AP shows a connection to the box. My XP laptop connects to the access point OK.. just can't connect to the box via the wireless, and it can't see the network using wireless.
I have followed a number of threads on connecting Atheros 9XXX wireless [URL] but no joy.
Also, can Ubuntu connect to the AP at any speed greater than 54MB? My windows PC connects at 144MB+ . Will ndiswrappers connect at those sorts of speeds?
lspci -nn 04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) [168c:002b] (rev 01) iwconfig lo no wireless extensions.
I can normally connect to most wifi connections, but for some reason I can't connect to my broth's-gf-parent's network. Windows 7 can connect to it just fine, but not Ubuntu. Once in a while I'll go to a cafe, and this will happen there too.hough, like I said I can normally connect to all other wifi networks with no hassle
