Problems getting rt73 wireless dongles to work

Wireless USB: Belkin F5D7050 Ver. 3000 (rt73 chipset)
Wireless USB: D-Link DWL-G122 Rev. C1 (rt73 chipset)
Router: Linksys WRT54G (B+G Channel 8 DHCP Enabled WPA TKIP)
Kernel: 2.6.20-ARCH
CPU: Athlon XP 2200+ 1.8ghz
At the moment I have the Belkin device working fine under the latest ndiswrapper for a certain amount of time until websites will stop resolving after a while with the only way to fix it being to reboot or go downstairs and reset the router. I don't care too much which dongle I get working although I would prefer the Belkin since I already have that working in Windows. Obviously I'm only plugging them in one at a time. I've tried multiple combinations in my resolv.conf and followed numerous guides to make sure my network profiles and wpa_supplicant are set up right although I can post them for you to check. I couldn't find a working .sys file for the D-Link device under ndiswrapper so basically what I am trying to say is ndiswrapper is out of the question and need to get native drivers working.  They are both editions which have an rt73 chipset even though some devices with the same model use 2500. I looked it up and the Ubuntu wiki incidentally uses both these devices as an example so I know for sure that they should work with RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.6 tar.
I have followed the steps in the Arch Wiki guide carefully. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/RT73_Wireless
However when I cd to the module directory after making the required modifications and do a make as root I get errors which is disappointing as by all accounts I have read so far it should work. I get errors compiling the RT73_CVS_Daily package as well but I think that was something to do with incompatibility with SMP and the need for a kernel recompile. The Arch Wiki method seems my best bet still. Here is the error I am getting on compilation anyway:
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.20-ARCH/build SUBDIRS=/home/joe/unsorted/drivers/RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.6/Module modules

What could this mean? Looking over it I've just spotted a permission denied in there even though I'm running it as root so now I'm wondering if there is some sort of resource conflict because ndiswrapper is still loaded in memory. I really don't understand why this wouldn't work. This is way above my skills so please help.

Hi,
I also have a rt73 chip - edimax EW-7318UG.
I used this package from aur :
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd
and now I have the module. Maybe it will work for you as well.
My problem seems to be setting up the interface. I can set it up to run manually - using ifconfig and iwconfig but it seems I can't load the network on startup. I keep getting this response form the startup network script :
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device rausb0 ; Network is down.
I have to run manually each time :
[root@fort etc]# ifconfig rausb0 up
[root@fort etc]# iwconfig rausb0 essid mikahome
[root@fort etc]# dhcpcd rausb0
Anyone knows if this can be automated?

  • Problem getting a wireless connection to work

    Well after some enormous help from ArchForum - i managed to get my new laptop's netcard running.
    Its a IBM X60S with the intel Chipset. but not I'm trying to get connection to my networks around me - But It will not work.
    Normally i have used the KDE WIFImanager to do this - But now its just blinks off on constantly - súddenly its gonbe and then its back - I have ONCE been able to connect to the network - But didn' t get an IP adress.
    So since is gonna to be my work computer - I would really like to get this working as quicly as possible but I do not know how - and cannot see the problem. So here I go. I using IPW3945 and added it to rc.conf Modules= IPW3945 - and daemons IPW3945d (But should this evt. be before or after network
    I didn' t have anything else speciel in the rc.conf and can scan and find my network - but not able to connect to it or anything ...

    The funny part - i'm sitting with a IBM R51 rigth next to and all works fine here - and the signal is ultimativ and no problem getting an IPadress or anything.
    EDIT: I have now several times getting connected to the network - but not at any times been able to get an IPaddress - even though both machines have the same setup - and should get the IPaddress from the router. The old IBM gets it - but not the X60s.
    It seems like the asking for the DHCP - don't get on at all - In the routers log I cannot see if the card is asking for an IP - And should mean that it happend all the way.
    Hopefully someone can help me further on with this ??? So than I'm able to cone further with this machine

    Well -
    Is there difference between some off the networks ??
    I mean in my Router thereś 3 options:
    64 - 128 -256 Bits crypto
    But with IPW3945 there only 2 :
    40 - 104 Bits.
    So whats the difference and can you make something difference ? and is it possible to connect in other way to the accesspoints.
    Normally on each and every else IBM i have used IPW2200 and works just normally with kde WIFI manager.
    The only way i can connet to the accesspoint is without any WEP and with an static IP ???
    This cannot be the way!!!!

    I already set up my wireless router in my macbook but then moved to a new house and basically have a new internet connection. My internet connection is fine when i connect the ethernet cable form the modem to my macbook. But when i plugged in the wireless router, my computer sees it but will not connect to the internet. I lost my installation CD and i tried to re-install using the dowloaded installation but it goes into error saying i can't re-install if i don't change back to default.. anyway, maybe the solution is simple but it eludes me so please help!

  • Problem getting a wireless connection to HP iPAQ h5455

    Problem getting a wireless connection to HP iPAQ h5455.  This unit is small hand held device simlar to a PDA.  I has both wireless and bluetooth access.
    I get a connection to the modem but I can not connect to the internet.
    I have verified the connection by ping and using the information provided on one of the h5455 status page.
    I believe the problem I can not find anywhere to enter in my user id and password to get access to my dsl account.
    Do I really need to enter in my user id and password to make a connection for the internet?
    I have 3 other computer in my home network, 2 hardwired and 1 wireless.  All of them can connect and go online with no problems.

  • Can't get dlink dwa-125 usb wireless dongle to work

    Hi, I'm installing arch on my parents PC.  I want them to try linux out but I've got a couple problems. 
    1)  Firstly I can't get our dlink dwa-125 dongle to work.  I checked aur out and saw that there was a package for a kernel driver, but it wouldn't install.  So I got stuck there, I wasn't able to figure out how to compile the module myself.  I tried downloading the source code from ralink  http://eng.ralinktech.com.tw/support.php?s=2 .  The version I require is for the rt3070. 
    2) I can't get the webcam to work in skype, it's a quickcam pro 5000.  The camera works fine in luvcview and cheese, when I click on test in skype the camera led turns on but no picture, when I double click to get fullscreen it's just grey. I followed the guide here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Webcam_Setup  and I tried
    export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
    before starting skype but it didn't help.
    Hope someone can help me get these two things running then my parents won't have a reason to keep starting windows.

    1) you need to blacklist the rt3070 drivers. maybe this helps: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1289917

  • Problem getting RESTful web service reference working with header value

    Hi,
    I posted this on Apex Listener forum but since I am not sure problem is with my Application RESTful web service reference or a Listener issue, I am posting here as well:
    I am on Apex 4.2.2 and Listener 2.1 and the listener is on WEblogic.
    I succeeded to get a RESTful web service working in an application with no header to obtain a full set of data. The data set is very large, so I am now just trying to set up a web service to get a set of data based on a student ID.
    I followed the examples shown in the RESTful web service module of SQL Workshop and set up a handler of this type:
    https://ourweblogicserver/apex/bnr/ace/students/course_grades/{stid}
    The test for this handler succeeded both for JSON output and CSV output in the Workshop test environment.
    However, when I try it from a Web Service Reference that I created for my application following what looked like the same approach used on the example video, I get NO data back. If I put a 'stid' directly into a URL of a web browser and do the basic authentication I get the data!!
    This is what I have for the Web service reference:
    https://ourweblogicserver/apex/bnr/ace/students/course_grades/{stid}
    Basic auth set to Yes -- and this is working -- I am able to authenticate
    HTTP method Get
    output format Text
    no response Xpath
    no response namespace
    defaults for new record and parameter delimiter
    NO REST input parameters
    Output set for all the fields in the data set queried (same set of data as in my rest service which does not have any http header)
    REST HTTP Header : Name stid
    I there something I am missing. I am not sure how to troubleshoot this further.
    I also tried exactly following the example shown on the Oracle Video for RESTFul web services at
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkCvd6P8_OU
    and I can't get the 2nd example to work either-- where the header has the bind variable parameter.
    Pat

    I was able to resolve the problem -- in the latest version of the RESTful web service that I created, I had left out the creation of the Header Parameter bind variable. Once I did that everything works fine!! I was able to test in the application and got the record of an individual student.
    Thanks,
    PM

  • Problems getting vCAC 6.2 to work correctly. Security related.

    Hi Everyone,
    I am setting up a quick n dirty VCAC 6.2 test lab and am hitting a problem that has been annoying me for a good few days and I hope someone can help. To give a bit of background I did the following to set up the infrastructure (above and beyond having a working vCenter 6 installation)
    Installed a SQL 2014 standalone box and IAAS box using Window 2012 R2
    Installed the authentication appliance.
    Installed the VRA appliance from OVF
    Installed the Orchestrator appliance
    All were installed from latest available on VMwares website. I then installed the pre req script to configure the IAAS pre reqs. Then installation went through ok (Although it took  a while ) The problem is when I come to login I keep getting errors about connection broken/resets.
    Looking in the IAAS event viewer I get the following error:
    An TLS 1.2 connection request was received from a remote client application, but none of the cipher suites supported by the client application are supported by the server. The SSL connection request has failed.
    I understand that the issue is more or less related to the fact that the encryption type is not supported. So my question is.. What is the easy and straight forward to fix this ? Crypto functions are not my forte!
    Regards

  • Can't get HP309a wireless scanner to work

    I recently upgraded to Lion, and now I find my HP309a series wireless all-in-one won't scan, either by using the buttons on the scanner itself, or by using Preview or Print/Scan on my Mac. The best I can get is "no document loaded" although of course there is.
    The print function works just fine.
    I've tried uninstalling all HP software and reloading new software from HP. Same results. I've tried all the solutions suggested on the HP site and none of them work. Of course, I've deleted and added the printer several times but that does nothing either.
    Any suggestions?

    You must go into Applications>PSE  10>optional plug-ins>ImportModules, and move the TWAIN plugin into Plug-ins>Import Modules before you can scan with any scanner. However, if you must have rosetta to scan, you will not be able to scan into PSE 8,9, or 10, no matter whether Rosetta is installed on your mac or not. There is no longer any support for Rosetta in PSE since PSE 8 came out. In that case, you can either use Scan Gear or get a newer scanner, if there's no intel-native plugin on canon's download page for your model.
    Thank you for answering me so quickly, Barbara B.
    It is interesting to note that there is no longer any support for Rosetta in PSE since PSE 8.  That really explains the problem.  The optics of my scanner are really good and the scanner really does work well in the "right' software.  
    I did as you instructed: moved the TWAIN plugin from Optional plug-in>ImportModules to Plug-ins>ImportModules, and restarted the computer.  Then I rebooted PSE 10.  The TWAIN import did not load... does not even show up in as there but unloaded. 
    Any ideas?  Could this be because I am using a trial version?

  • I am havign huge problems getting itunes 11.1.4 working on my windows 7 laptop. I have run itunes for some years, and regularly updated it when prompted. I have followed many of the suggestions e.g. uninstalling reinstalling, etc

    I have spent hours trying to get itunes working on my laptop.
    The only functinoality I crave is to be able to get pictures off my iphone 5 (which has the latest ios installed.), as almost all other functinoality of itunes I find painful beyond belief. It has the worst ergonomics I think of any software I have ever used, which is bizarely at odds with the mobile decvices, which by and large work quite nicely (indeed, why I bought them!)
    My laptop runs windows 7. It has all the latest microsoft updates installed (I am religious about this: it always has had.)
    I have run itunes on this machine for some years, regularly updating when I am prompted to.
    A few days back i was prompted to update to 11.1.4
    It failed to install badly. whatever I try at some point during the install process the installer just hangs, or never terminates.
    All communication between computer and iphone functionality has been lost.
    Nothing eles on my machine is behaving oddly. slowly etc. it is only apple stuff that isn't working.
    I googled and found a lot of recurring themes on apple forums:
    So far I have tried:
    uninstalling / reinstalling. (hangs during installation).
    Restarting the machine between uninstall and reinstall.
    Searching and removing any directories/ contents related to apple, after the uninstall, prior to machine reboot.
    I have even used iobit uninstaller, as removing apple software as you know is almost impossible (ever tried disabbling the quicktime updater that runs at startup? it's like a virus !!)
    I have removed all apple software incl quicktime.
    I have tried the microsoft software installer fixit link often posted to.
    i have tried unpacking the apple installation file, using the latest version of winrar, to try installing one at a time.
    I have found the installation is very very very slow (it looks as though it hangs, but i leave it running in the background, after 15-20 minutes, the status starts advancing for example). so far I have managed to install the first few components up to applesoftware  update,msi, and they seem to need to be run multiple times.
    (this last one took about 40 minutes).
    I have been very careful to install / uninstall the software components int eh "prescribed" order.
    I have tried each step multiple times, rebooting the machine numerous times, cleaning temp folders (with ccleaner) etc.
    I ave tried installing when my virus checker AVG is disabled.
    (i have virus checked the machine with AVG and malware bytes, I have the latest microsft security essential updates installed.)
    I ahve tried stopping apple services (as suggested in one of the apple forum posts).
    As you can gather I'm seriously tearing my hair out.
    I presume there is some kind of generic bug in this installer: as a friend had exactly the same problem on sunday night, with a different machine, running windows 7, and a couple of her colleagues at work has had the self same problem over the weekend, though none of them seem to have gone to the lengths I have yet !
    I tried doing a system restore, but my machine seems to have lunched all previous system restore points, so I can't . Arrrrrgggg !
    Is an older version of itunes available so i can install that instead ?
    What should I do next ?

    It failed to install badly. whatever I try at some point during the install process the installer just hangs, or never terminates.
    All communication between computer and iphone functionality has been lost.
    Nothing eles on my machine is behaving oddly. slowly etc. it is only apple stuff that isn't working.
    I googled and found a lot of recurring themes on apple forums:
    So far I have tried:
    uninstalling / reinstalling. (hangs during installation).
    Restarting the machine between uninstall and reinstall.
    Searching and removing any directories/ contents related to apple, after the uninstall, prior to machine reboot.
    I have even used iobit uninstaller, as removing apple software as you know is almost impossible (ever tried disabbling the quicktime updater that runs at startup? it's like a virus !!)
    I have removed all apple software incl quicktime.
    I have tried the microsoft software installer fixit link often posted to.
    i have tried unpacking the apple installation file, using the latest version of winrar, to try installing one at a time.
    I have found the installation is very very very slow (it looks as though it hangs, but i leave it running in the background, after 15-20 minutes, the status starts advancing for example). so far I have managed to install the first few components up to applesoftware  update,msi, and they seem to need to be run multiple times.
    (this last one took about 40 minutes).
    I have been very careful to install / uninstall the software components int eh "prescribed" order.
    I have tried each step multiple times, rebooting the machine numerous times, cleaning temp folders (with ccleaner) etc.
    I ave tried installing when my virus checker AVG is disabled.
    (i have virus checked the machine with AVG and malware bytes, I have the latest microsft security essential updates installed.)
    I ahve tried stopping apple services (as suggested in one of the apple forum posts).
    As you can gather I'm seriously tearing my hair out.
    I presume there is some kind of generic bug in this installer: as a friend had exactly the same problem on sunday night, with a different machine, running windows 7, and a couple of her colleagues at work has had the self same problem over the weekend, though none of them seem to have gone to the lengths I have yet !
    I tried doing a system restore, but my machine seems to have lunched all previous system restore points, so I can't . Arrrrrgggg !
    Is an older version of itunes available so i can install that instead ?
    What should I do next ?

  • Getting your wireless router to work with the mini computers and their small monitors

    I have one on the new Dell Mini computers.  I purchased the Wireless-G Broadband Router model #WRT54G2 and had the most difficult time getting Network Magic installed on the Mini because the monitor was too small for the required resolution (1024x768) - this was trying to install via the CD that came with the router.
    The solution to this problem:
    1)  Use the CD to install the Router and Network Magic on your desktop (or wherever you are hardwired to the internet).
    2)  Open Network Magic; go to "Status" and download the newest version of Network Magic to your desktop.
    3)  DO NOT use the CD to install Network Magic on the Mini.  Instead - Unplug your hardwire connection from your desktop and connect it to your Mini.  Go to "linksysbycisco.com/us/en/support/WRT54G2/download" and install the newest version of Network Magic on your Mini. 
    4)  Replug your hardwire connection into your desktop.
    5)  You can now use Network Magic from your desktop to add the mini to the network.  Go to "Tasks" and then "Add a device."  You will be able to follow the directions at this point.
    The only other issue I found was naming the network.  I had to name the desktop and the mini the same name otherwise it wouldn't connect.
    Good Luck and hopefully it won't take you the three days it took me to figure this out.

    Hi i have a Router WRT 54 G2 v1, when i want to connect it wireless to my new mini, He is asking me to enter a Security key !
    i don't know how to get that Code, anyone would have an answer for me ?
    Thank you

  • Problems getting Raw 6.1 to work on PSE8 on Mac

    Terrible problems and no idea wot to do next.
    Have downloaded Raw update 6.1 that has my cameras update (EOS 550D).  I've put the file as instructed into the Fileformats folder.  Can't open .CR2 files in PSE 8.  Despite following the instructions they don't load.
    Anyone have any ideas.  Getting well p****d off about it.  Have been trying to solve this for weeks and nothing I do works.

    Barbara
    Thx for your reply.  I'm sure I did remove the old one and replaced it as per their instructions. 
    The below is a copy from the plug in folder from System Info on PSE8
    "Camera Raw 6.1 (250), Copyright © 2010 Adobe Systems Incorporated - from the file “Camera Raw.plugin”"
    Despite that .CR2 files are still showing up as not recognised. 
    I will have to process raw files in DPP and then bring them into PSE 8 as JPEGs.  This is b****y annoying as it just adds to the workloads.  Not happy. The adobe support is rubbish.  I'm following their instructions and it just does not work.
