RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter

Hello guys,

I cannot put my wireless card to work on Arch and i'm getting some weird outputs. Let me explain...
When i plug arch recognize it but kernel tells me that it's working like an unstable hardware, what?
I put all modules on blacklist and i try recompile drivers for this card again and nothing!

dmesg output:

When i try to set link state to up it tells that is no such device

sudo ip link set dev wlp0s20u1 up
RTNETLINK answers: No such device

So what i can do more? I tryed to search every where but seems no one have a problem like that so. Well, i know there's happening some conflict with something but i can not figured out.

I almost forgot to tell that i'm running 5.2.5-arch1-1-ARCH

plix help :D:D
You are my last hope

your wifi adaptor is wlp3s0

Use ip link set wlp3s0 up

I've installed my first linux(redhat) in 1999 and configured as a dhcp server.

Re: RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter

Hello thank you for reply but you wrong because wlp3s0 is my intern wireless card but if you look again to my output when i plug my dongle ifconfig doesnt show my new interface... If you look on dmesg output "rt2800_wait_csr_ready: Error - Unstable" "hardware" this is not normal.. i tryed on another distro (based in debian) and it works very well so i think we have some bug on this kernel!!! i don't know, i need another opinion of experts on hardware/kernel before i report this!!!
Thanks anyway

Re: RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter

I put all modules on blacklist

What "all modules"? If you blacklisted everything, the system wouldn't boot to begin with.

try recompile drivers for this card

???

rt2800usb is in the linux tree?

[  353.255169] ieee80211 phy2: rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x06 failed for offset 0x0404 with error -71

Smells like underpowered (or a bug in xhci_hcd)

Is this on an external hub? Try another slot.
Disable https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Po … utosuspend
Blacklist xhci-* modules

*** Edit: you can also try the lts kernel instead of directly blacaklisting xhci and certainly if blacklisting xhci works (to figure whether that's a regression)

If, by any chance, this is on some low power ARM device (a raspberry pi): that's the reason.
