Gent's

currently I run Igor's Debian Image on a BananaPi (kernel 3.4.105).

I want to add the wifi driver for Ralink_RT5527.

 

What is to do?

 

Here my thoughts,

- install header's

- pull sunxi-kernel

- copy config from running kernel

- make menuconfig

- add the driver

- make

 

 

correct ?

 

Regards

No. Everything is prepared until:

 

"Get driver source & type make ARCH=arm" 

 

From there you are on your own. I can guarantee that the driver will work. Install part is also on your own / from the driver if exits.

 

P.S.

But there is a driver already on the system:

rt2500usb  rt2800lib  rt2800usb  rt2x00lib  rt2x00usb

modprobe rt2800usb is loading, and usbcore say's register device.

But nothing more. :-(

No wifi device available.

iw list is empty...

Any hints? ralink-firmware is installed.

Same here.

 

"lshw", "lsusb -t" and dmesg see the device recognized but no driver is applied. Firmware-Ralink package is also installed.

Device output from "lsusb" is "Bus 002 Device 005: ID 148f:5572 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5572 Wireless Adapter".

 

Haven't looked at the kernelconfig yet, could it be a old version of the driver?

I have currently an edimax usb wifi dongle rt8192cu and the mentioned ralink one attached.

Okay, This exact ID 148f:5572 is not supported by this driver in this kernel version, I checked kernel sources.

Next you may try this solution: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/234315/rt5572-shown-in-lsusb-but-not-iwconfig

Minimum kernel version supporting this chip is 3.10.

Looking at module commit history, you may need to compile new module version (which probably won't work due to possible changes in other modules in kernel wireless stack), upgrade to mainline kernel (depends on your use case) or buy different wireless adapter (easiest solution).

Hi,

 

I like this idea of badrianiulian's hardware-mod on R1 ( http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/372-hardware-mod-bpi-r1/) and looked for that chip/driver.

 

http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters

        make / make install (compile ok)

        modprobe rt5572sta

 

i do not have hardware yet, but this should work...

hi,

 

only for info:

The DPO_RT5572_LinuxSTA_2.6.1.3_20121022.tar.gz / rt5572sta.ko -stuff does not work with sunxi-3.4.10x-kernel.

 

 

I got this "ralink rt5572" on kernel 3.4.10x to work with driver backports:

echo "see:https://backports.wi....php/Main_Page"

wget https://www.kernel.o....11.8-1.tar.bz2

tar xvf backports-3.12.8-1.tar.xz

cd backports-3.12.8-1

make defconfig-wifi

time make -J2

echo "BACKUP YOUR old 3.4.10x-modules in /lib/modules/3.4.10xy /lib/modules/3.4.10xy_backup to  if you want to switch back...ok?"

read

make install

reboot

 

...............................................................................................

root@Dev:~# modinfo rt2800usb | grep "version\|5572"

Hi all,

 

I have this configuration:

uname -a
Linux orangepione 3.4.110-sun8i #18 SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 8 20:03:32 CET 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

and also Ralink RT5572 and I can confirm, that driver DPO_RT5572_LinuxSTA_2.6.1.3_20121022 does not work for me either...

So I have tried to backport the rt2800usb drivers as pschasch proposed and I could get the same result:

modinfo ./rt2800usb.ko | grep "version\|5572"
version:        backported from Linux (v3.12.8-0-g97f15f1) using backports v3.12.8-1-0-geb41fad
version:        2.3.0
srcversion:     D0035750636933A8C0E52C5
alias:          usb:v148Fp5572d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*
vermagic:       3.4.110 SMP preempt mod_unload modversions ARMv7 p2v8

Unfortunately, the module cannot be loaded and dmesg sais:

rt2800usb: disagrees about version of symbol rt2800_config_erp
rt2800usb: Unknown symbol rt2800_config_erp (err -22)

and many other symbols...

 

After a research, I have read, that this can happen when the module is compiled againt another Kernel version or when the configuration differs.

I have used the linux-headers-3.4.110-sun8i that came within the image and executed make scripts before compiling backports. My understanding of backports was, that it should take the .config file from /usr/src/linux-headers-... and do the configuration automatically...

 

Do you have any idea, where could be the problem?

 

Thank you very much for any help!

Regards.

Resolved!

 

I took this modified driver: https://github.com/shaun2029/rt5572sta(Btw, thank you so much shaun2029!)

 

Then you have to in ./include/os/rt_linux.h change the datatypes "kuid_t" to "uid_t" and "kgid_t" to "gid_t" (this is possibly valid only for kernels >= 3.4.0)

And then in driver's root just:

make -j4 ARCH=arm

make install

modprobe rt5572sta

 

Best regards

Hello Ikrk,

 

thanks for info!

 

The backported driver I compiled on my R1, but before I compiled the 3.4.108-git-kernel version too on my R1.

My backported driver works good (19 day uptime R1 as only AP) , but I got a lot of driver-messages in my logs.

 

I will try/test the shaun2029-driver too,

Did you compile on R1 or crosscompile by igors-toolchain?

 

@igor

can I somehow compile your 3.4.110-R1-kernel-version with all you patches on R1?

Does it support csi-cam?

 

regards

Tools might work in native environment with small modification - remove cross compiler out here:

https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/configuration.sh#L222

 

I hope that's enough ... but still you should stick to Ubuntu Trusty base, elsewhere other problems emerge.

 

CSI cam - if it's wired the same as on normal Banana - should work.
