I have been using the 5370 driver for usb wifi dongle successfully with ability to support both Master and Managed mode with no issues whatsoever.
However last batch of wifi dongles delivered no longer work and lsusb shows Bus 001 Device 002: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp. instead of Bus 001 Device 002: ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter I expected the 7601 drivers to be installed in my build (Debian 3.8.13-bone68, which I am stuck with for now due to changes in bone69 and up that makes using LCD and Audio Cape together an issue <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/beagleboard/beaglebone-black/2dXgKp9T8_g>) but this doesn't appear to be the case. Powering with external 5V, and ensuring usb dongle is inserted prior to power up. dmesg shows [ 1.097202] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using musb-hdrc [ 1.216778] usb 1-1: default language 0x0409 [ 1.581547] usb 1-1: udev 2, busnum 1, minor = 1 [ 1.581571] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=148f, idProduct=7601 [ 1.581583] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 1.582006] usb 1-1: usb_probe_device [ 1.582024] usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 1.582114] usb 1-1: adding 1-1:1.0 (config #1, interface 0) Running lsmod shows no indication of wifi driver I have also tried building various 7601 driver sources but am unable to get both managed and master mode working. Does/should 3.8.13-bone68 support 7601 driver? If so what could I be doing wrong. If not supported, any suggestion on source files to build in order to support both managed and master mode. This feels like a pretty solid wall I have hit and would appreciate any assistance -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
