Wusb54gc v3 RT3070 v2.1.2.0 driver install

I reformatted and followed up until step #9, then got the following message (no clue how to proceed):

Trifidlebock,

I receieved this error at one point as well and found that when i added the line in stop 5 i added it to the wrong place. make sure you find where the rest of the devices are in that file and add the line to the END of that list. NOT the end of the file.

Where you should add the entry is highlighted.

The error is basically saying that you have a syntax error in the code of the file which means you probably added it in the wrong place. or forgot the , after the driver but before the comment section.

Hope this helps.

BK you should probably mention that in your procedure somewhere.

Hope this helps.

BK you should probably mention that in your procedure somewhere.

Hello, I have also placed the line {USB_DEVICE(0x1737,0x0077)}, /* Linksys WUSB54GC */ in that location.

For those who have not done it, place your pointer at the end of {USB_DEVICE(0x203D,0x1480)}, /* Encore 3070 */ and left click, press enter, then press tab key once then paste {USB_DEVICE(0x1737,0x0077)}, /* Linksys WUSB54GC */ - this will align it nicely.
Don't forget to save and close.

One question, have you succeeded in getting your wireless connection working on your Ubuntu machine or are you posting from another machine?

Thanks for the input.

[willrockformilk]

I still havent gotten it to work on 9.04 yet. im using the wired connection currently.

I still havent gotten it to work on 9.04 yet. im using the wired connection currently.

:-/

My starting point with all the procedures was Ubuntu 9.10.
I don't know how different version 9.04 is.

Nevertheless, I have uploaded another file containing typical output screen shots at the end of the various steps during RT3070 driver install. Check post #1 attachments.

Hope that it can provide you with a little more clue to what is going on during the driver install process.

I am sure you will succeed eventually.

Good luck

[willrockformilk]

yup this procedure did not work for 9.04 jaunty fresh install(2.6.28-11-generic). dunno why but i guess ill install 9.10 tomorrow and give this procedure a try again.

Hi there, if you are going to re-partition your hard disk can you read post #3 of this thread.

If you follow the partitioning scheme suggested there, you need not modify anything at all to the procedures posted in post #1 .

The pasting and copying of commands would then be a piece of cake!

Good luck.

Hi, I tried everything from fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 yesterday again from 2.6.31-14-generic kernel. Wireless connection worked very well.

Ubuntu's update manager then offered updates this time straight away to 2.6.31-16-generic kernel (ie skipping 2.6.31-15-generic kernel).

I accepted all the offered updates and at the end of the updating, the wireless connection failed as previously.

Skipping PROCEDURE B and doing PROCEDURE C got my wireless connection up and running flawlessly again.

I have just uploaded a new .txt file (containing the instructions and codes/commands) and edited post #1 accordingly to refine the PROCEDURES B and C.
The latest file is 2009_1110_RT3070_Linux_STA_v2.1.2.0.tar.bz2 driver HowToInstall_edited_20091216.txt.

These are the minor changes that allows you to skip some redundant steps.

%%% The following amendments/comments were added in on 16th Dec 2009 %%%
%%% Some redundant steps can be skipped in PROCEDURES B and PROCEDURES C if PROCEDURE A %%%
%%% was successful. %%%
%%% For FRESH install of Ubuntu 9.10 after successful completion of PROCEDURE A your %%%
%%% wireless network will work and the Update Manager will now offer to update your kernel %%%
%%% to 2.6.31-16-generic kernel straight away - that is you can totally skip PROCRDURE B%%%


Your wireless connection will continue to work as long as you do not update to a newer generic kernel number.

Any comments/feedback would be most appreciated.

[grief -l]

OK b k, here we go,

EDITED, see next post.

Fresh install, followed procedure 1:

Step 3

Code:
tar xjf 2009_1110_RT3070_Linux_STA_v2.1.2.0.tar.bz2

Should read v2[1].1.2.0

I didn't understand anything about the choices in Step 8 but filled in what I thought prudent. Got as far as step 9 and here is all the content of the console

Please ignore my previous post

I realized after reading your reply to willrockformilk that I had to add the headers (?) to the Device List and not at the end of the file.

I am now posting this from ubuntu, so wireless is working. Please turn your cheek so I can kiss you! Your help is more appreciated than I can express in words so I'll just say thanks!

Update:

So far it works fine for casual browsing. However, the first thing it wanted to do was download updates. During the half-hour process it must have disconnected and reconnected 10 or 12 times. Since then I have found that I can browse while listening to music (live feed), but as soon as I try to download anything over 1 MB or watch video it cuts out. This gets progressively worse until simple browsing (forums) slows down and eventually disconnects repeatedly. A reboot fixes the problem.

It's not satisfactory but I can live with it till I find another dongle or a real driver appears.

Thanks again b k!
