Kernel Panic on iwconfig (RT3572STA -WUSB600Nv2)

Hi there,

I installed Arch x86_64 Core on a DELL Precision 670.

Due to circumstances I can't connect by cable, so I came up with the terrible idea of using an USB WLAN Stick - namely an Linksys WUSB600N - EU (alias v2)

After some browsing I found

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/408165

this article and followed the installation-instructions. With a little tinkering I actually got it to work at least halfway, but now I ran into a problem I couldn't really find a solution for.

Kernel stack is corrupted in: ffffffffffa020bda0

this happens when I run either wpa_supplicant on the ra0 interface or just run iwconfig

The stick apparently is transmitting something, but can't connect to the router. Appropriate SSID, WPA2PSK(AES), etc. configuration is done in the RT3572STA.dat file and should connect. (doesn't)

I'd be grateful if someone can point me towards a solution

Do you know for sure that the linux kernel supports it?

EDIT: Welcome to Arch

According to that article it does work on Ubuntu ... and the driver is advertized as Linux driver on the ralink site ... lsusb recognizes it as a Linksys device so I suppose - yea it should be supported.

I tried using the XP driver with ndiswrapper - but that crashes too.

Maybe I did something wrong when I compiled the driver, I'm not really sure about what I did there.

-> and thanks
