How do I use my Ralink USB wireless network adapter

I have tried following the instructions for Debian here: http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/rt73, but this does not seem to work on my Kubuntu 8.04.

I might add that lsusb says the following about the adapter:
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp.

Hi,

Solution for this issue with Device 007: ID 148f:2573 is described here:

http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=884247

I found the link by searching for Ralink chipset ID 148f:2573 in the Ubuntu forums.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Mark

The page you link to does not describe how to get the Ralink Linux drivers to work. It describes how to use ndiswrapper. I need to use the real drivers for this device.

I need this because I have to use special features like monitor mode, etc.

Here is my complete output from dmesg:

Is this a bug in the kernel image provided by Ubuntu mirrors?

I have tried reinstalling the kernel image. It did not help.

What happens when you use the default rt73 driver?

David, isn't that what I do here? If not, please tell me how to do it.

Hi,

Please try recompiling the following new rt73usb drivers against your currently running kernel and then try another "sudo modprobe rt73usb":

http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz

The drivers you previously tried to compile (RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.6) were maybe too old for (and thus incompatible with) the current kernel 2.6.24-19-generic

Regards,

Mark

I have just tried compiling the driver from CVS. I get this warning:

!!! WARNING: Module file much too big (>1MB)
!!! Check your kernel settings or use 'strip'
*** Module rt73.ko built successfully

It sounds serious, so I'm not sure if I should install the driver? Will that be safe?

Also, I do not understand that the default driver in the kernel does not work. I have just tried the Ralink USB adapter in another machine running the same version of Ubuntu and kernel (a fit-PC). Here, the adapter seems to work just fine.

Hi,

I am pretty sure it is safe to continue. Warnings aren't error messages. And the output of your make command shows that the module was successfully compiled anyway, even though it is too large.

Please continue with the build instructions on http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/rt73

So now you need to run the commands

cd /home/tdn/tmp/rt73/rt73-cvs-2008090900/Module/
strip -S rt73.ko

in order to reduce the size of the kernel module.

Then run the following command:

sudo make install

Then run the following commands to do a dry-run of the module installation:

sudo modprobe -v --dry-run rt73usb

Output should look something like this for rt73usb:

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/net/mac80211/mac80211.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/lib/crc-itu-t.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/input/input-polldev.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/net/rfkill/rfkill.ko

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt73usb.ko

If output from the previous command is ok, it should be safe to run the following command to do the real module installation:

sudo modprobe -v rt73usb

Mark

Hi tdn,

You said "I have just tried the Ralink USB adapter in another machine running the same version of Ubuntu and kernel (a fit-PC). Here, the adapter seems to work just fine."

Is the other machine running the 32 bit or 64 bit version of the same Linux kernel?

If that other pc is running the 32 bit version, maybe you should also install the 32 bit kernel version on your pc with the driver issue.

Why am I proposing this?

I am running the 32 bit kernel on my pc:

Linux laptop 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 22:56:21 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

I tried recompiling the rt73usb driver against my 32 bit kernel and never got any compilation warnings at all.

Regards,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your messages!
I do use 64 bit on the computer where it is not working and 32 bit on the computer on which it is working.

I would really not like to use 32 bit kernel unless I really have to.
Is it possible to install an extra 32 bit kernel and dual boot between the two?

Ps.
I will try to continue with the build and installation of the kernel module very soon.

Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I don't think you can safely mix 32 and 64 bit kernels within the same Linux distribution.
What you can do, is install the 32 bit edition of Ubuntu in a separate partition and then dual boot between the 2 versions of Ubuntu (32 and 64 bit).

But I recommend that you first try following my kernel module compilation instructions for the 64 bit version.

If that fails, try the 32 bit edition of Ubuntu instead.

Regards,

Mark

Hi Mark,

I have now build the module as you described.
The modprobe dry run went okay. Here is the output:

Unfortunately, I do not have a spare partition to install a 32 bit version on :(

 Shouldn't this work on 64 bit? Would it be appropriate to report a bug on this? If so, where should I report it? And what should I report?

Hi Thomas,

You should report this issue at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu
because the compilation procedure should have worked.... I did the exact
same compilation procedure on the 32 bit kernel version which worked
fine.... So something must be wrong with the 64 bit kernel.

Regards,

Mark
