Bug#658067: Device ID missing from Firmware-Ralink

2012-04-20 Thread Jaimos F Skriletz 

Package: linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64
Version: 3.2.15-1

I can confirm this bug in sid running kernel

$ uname -a
Linux volticor 3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Apr 15 16:47:38 UTC 2012 x86_64 
GNU/Linux


I am able to get the device working easily enough by a slight 
modification of the above fix for squeeze:


First load the module since it won't load automatically (note you need 
the non-free firmware-ralink package installed):


$ modprobe rt2800usb

Second tell the module to assoicate with the usbID of the device:

$ echo 1737 0078  /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2800usb/new_id

After that I am able to use the wireless device normally.

Bug#658067: Device ID missing from Firmware-Ralink

2012-01-30 Thread Matt Harrison 
Package:  Firmware-Ralink
Version:  All

My Wireless USB Adapter's ID is not listed in the firmware-ralink
package in Stable, Testing, and Sid.

LSUSB Output:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1737:0078 Linksys WUSB100 v2 RangePlus Wireless
Network Adapter [Ralink RT3070]

In Squeeze I have to perform the following workaround to get the device to work:
echo 'install rt2870sta modprobe --ignore-install rt2870sta ;
/bin/echo 1737 0078  /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870/new_id' | tee
/etc/modprobe.d/rt2870sta.conf
modprobe -rf rt2870sta
modprobe rt2870sta
echo rt2870sta | tee -a /etc/modules

I am currently using Debian Stable 6.04 AMD64
Kernel Version:  2.6.32-5-amd64

As I said, this problem also occurs with the firmware-ralink package
in Testing and Sid, however the workaround provided does not work in
anything but Stable.
