RSSHow to make Ralink rt2870 driver work on Ubuntu 10.10
Nov 07
This works with Ubuntu 10.10 and a usb wifi adapter with the Ralink rt2870 chipset.
The driver released with Ubuntu kernel 2.6.35-22-generic is version 2.1.0.0 and doesn’t work…
I downloaded version 2.4.0.1 from Ralink web site and compiled it the following way.
cd /usr/src
tar xvfj /tmp/2010_0709_RT2870_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1.tar.bz2
cd 2010_0709_RT2870_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1/
sed -i.bak "s/HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=n/HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y/" os/linux/config.mk
sed -i.bak "s/HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n/HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y/" os/linux/config.mk
Changed file include/os/rt_linux.h line 1077 to:
#define RTUSB_URB_ALLOC_BUFFER(pUsb_Dev, BufSize, pDma_addr) usb_alloc_coherent(pUsb_Dev, BufSize, GFP_ATOMIC, pDma_addr)
And line 1078 to:
#define RTUSB_URB_FREE_BUFFER(pUsb_Dev, BufSize, pTransferBuf, Dma_addr) usb_free_coherent(pUsb_Dev, BufSize, pTransferBuf, Dma_addr)
Then compiled it:
make
Removed the Ubuntu released driver out of the way:
mv /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/staging/rt2870 ~/.rt2870.bak
And installed the new one:
make install
Also removed the rt2800 module out of the way:
echo 'blacklist rt2800usb' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
And rebooted my pc.
After the system booted up the new driver was loaded:
# modinfo rt2870sta | grep -i version
version: 2.4.0.0
srcversion: 5598BFE60F8B720D8D64062
vermagic: 2.6.35-22-generic SMP mod_unload modversions 686
Also I could connect to my wireless network at 130Mb/s (from the output of nm-tool).

Sergio,
Excellent work! Congratulations!
Maybe we can add this information to your blog:
1) Download the latest rt2870 USB FIRMWARE from Ralink corp. | Linux
direct link to RT2870_Firmware =
http://www.ralinktech.com/license_us.php?n=2&p=1&t=U0wyRnpjMlYwY3k4eU1ERXdMekF6THpNeEwyUnZkMjVzYjJGa01UWXpPRGs1T0Rnek5pNTZhWEE5UFQxU1ZESTROekJmUm1seWJYZGhjbVZmVmpJeUM%3D
2) extract the rt2870RT2870_Firmware_V22.zip.bin firmware file, and move it /lib/firmware
unzip RT2870_Firmware_V22.zip
mv RT2870.bin /lib/firmware
3) Reboot PC.
There are some articles suggesting that this driver and the rt2870 are ABGN capable.
http://forums.remote-exploit.org/bt4beta-working-hardware/23407-alfa-awus050nh-rt2x00-compat-wireless.html
My usb wifi adapter with the Ralink rt2870 chipset does not display anything about the A band. Is it possible to activate it? Any suggestion?
Thank you very much!

Hello, I’m desperate to get these drivers working here on Lucid. I followed your instructions but I get an error trying to build the drivers:

Hi Joaquin,
Thanks for your comment. These instructions are specific for the versions of Ubuntu, Ralink driver and Kernel version. This is because what is true for one version might not be for the next one.
Why do you want to enable the A band?

Hi Noran,
Thanks for your comment. I would suggest that you upgrade to Maverick before trying this. Also make sure you are using the Kernel version and Ralink driver that I specify in the article.
Hope this helps.

I got think working, took two reboots.
A quick note: some tutorials tell you to add other stuff to the blacklist. ONLY ADD WHAT THIS TUTORIAL SAYS TO blacklist.conf
Otherwise you’ll block the new driver!
Thanks for the help, now downloading at a couple of MB a second!

Thanks it works! I could not connect to my wireless network at 130Mb/s
and wanted to compile the RT2870sta driver and that gave problems.
With your remarks, it is no problem anymore.
