rt3070 Chipset issues

I recently picked up an Intellinet 150N USB wireless adapter.  It has the rt3070 chipset.   It works fine in Windows, but when I try to use it in Arch, I have some issues.  I have blacklisted all the rt* modules I had read to, and I was able to assign an ESSID and key to wlan0.  However, when I run dhcpcd, it times out.  I have a feeling I'm missing something silly, but I can't figure it out.  Anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

Re: rt3070 Chipset issues

I'm having the same issue here, with same chipset. Did you get to something with it?

Re: rt3070 Chipset issues

I have rt2870 adapter. Probably it  wiil be the same for rt3070. Starting with 2.6.38 I have switch from (self-compiled) rt2870sta module to default rt-modules (blacklisting staging rt2870sta driver):

$ sudo lsmod | grep rt2
rt2800usb              10933  0 
rt2800lib              30637  1 rt2800usb
crc_ccitt               1355  1 rt2800lib
rt2x00usb               8155  1 rt2800usb
rt2x00lib              29848  3 rt2800usb,rt2800lib,rt2x00usb
mac80211              203397  3 rt2800lib,rt2x00usb,rt2x00lib
cfg80211              142631  2 rt2x00lib,mac80211
usbcore               134996  6 rt2800usb,rt2x00usb,usbhid,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd

For me they do work at N mode now.

The same modules. Yet, I'm unable to obtain an IP with this chipset. I've tried switching from dhcpc to dhclient, but it's the same history.

I'll try to debug this and bring it here.-

Re: rt3070 Chipset issues

i downloaded the latest driver 2.5.0.2, add MODE = STA and TARGET = LINUX in Makefile. add MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") in os/linux/usb_main_dev.c
sed -i /"tftpboot"/d Makefile
make
make install

remove the rt2870sta from /lib/modules/....../drivers/staging/rt2870/rt2870sta....
blacklist all rt2xxxxx related modules
it is now working ok.

I'm trying to get my RT3070 chip to work aswell, But when i try to extract the drivers (v 2.5.0.2) all i end upp with is one big file. How did you extract the files?

EDIT:
bunzip2 didn't extract this right. Used the following line to extract.

tar -xvaf 2011_0407_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO.bz2
