Linksys Wireless USB adapter - brand WUSB600N v2 - Its USB ID is 1737:0079 - Linksys adapter only detected as USB device in Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS - but no wireless kernel modules are loaded during boot!
I am a complete newbie with Linux and am trying to get my wireless adapter to work.
I read the excellent document UBUNTU & WUSB600N v2 WORKS!. The document was easy to follow and well written but the problem is that the version of Ubunbtu is older than mine and the RT3572 file that I downloaded is a newer version. I tried adapting the instructions to my new versions of software but that didn't work.
I feel totally overwhelmed and if someone could give me simple instructions with the new versions I would be greatly appreciative.
The driver download file is 2010_0709_
My Ubuntu version is: 10.04.1
Thanks,
Ken

Hi,
Please first connect your network card to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable).
In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your wireless card, please follow this procedure:
Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications-
Step 2: Please copy-paste the following command from the https:/
Tip: If you have a wheel mouse or 3 button mouse you do not need to type commands into the Terminal. Highlight the command written on the page. Move your cursor anywhere in the Terminal and press the wheel or middle button. Automatic Copy and paste! No spelling mistakes! No Typos! No other errors!
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/
Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output) on this thread. The troubleshooters here need to see the full Terminal output from running the above command.
Regards,
Mark

Mark,
I don't have a wireless card; it is a USB adapter and cannot connect
directly via cable.
Thanks,
Ken

Mark,
As I mentioned, I don't have a card and cannot connect a cable but I do
have the terminal output from when I tried the "Make". I have it pasted
below.
Many thanks,
Ken

GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!! I got it to work.
From one of the sources that you referenced, all I had to do from the
steps that I pasted below:
1. add the line {USB_DEVICE(
/*rtusb_dev_id.c */file
2. reexecute the /*make */and /*make install */
3. add rt3572sta.ko to the inc/modules file
When I rebooted the adapter came to life - I have never been so damn
happy to see a blue light in my life.
Many thanks to you and all the folks on your forum - what a class group
of folks.
KCS
4. Add your USB ID in file
"2009_1214_
section: #ifdef RT35xx
See below (second last line) for detailed information:
#ifdef RT35xx
{USB_DEVICE(
{USB_DEVICE(
{USB_DEVICE(
{USB_DEVICE(
{USB_DEVICE(
{USB_DEVICE(
{USB_DEVICE(
{USB_DEVICE(
{USB_DEVICE(
{USB_DEVICE(
#endif // RT35xx //
5. Finally do "make" and after that "sudo make install" to install the
driver. Now the driver is loaded with kernel module
rt3572sta.ko
That can be shown with the command "iwconfig". The output should
give your the information that the wireless device "ra0" is
not ready to use.
6. To get the driver loaded after reboot edit the file "/etc/modules"
and type at the last line the name of the kernel module you
want to get loaded at start-up. In this case the name: rt3572sta.ko

Chaps,
there is only two things wrong with this.......Ken's version of Ubuntu is 10.04.1
and the version of the driver.......is: 2010_0709_
My version of Ubuntu is 10.10 and the driver that I am downloading and modifying .......is:
2010_0915_
If 10.10 does not have the file os/linux/
Or does the driver 2010_0915_
Or am I asking the hard questions?
Regards
Les
