Talk:Davinci USB WLan

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to get the D-Link DWL-G122 (Rev.C1) to work with the Davinci development board, without any luck :(

I follow all the steps in the wiki, but when I do 'insmod' I get:


 * root@192.168.0.103:/# insmod rt73.ko debug=2

rt73: init

rt73: idVendor = 0x7d1, idProduct = 0x3c03

rt73: Failed to request_firmware. Check your firmware file location

rt73: Failed to load Firmware.

rt73: probe of 1-1.2:1.0 failed with error -2

usbcore: registered new driver rt73

...I specified the path, placed copies of rt73.bin in /root, /etc/Wireless/RT73STA/ and elsewhere but none of these work.

So, I moved on to the so-called "RaLink RT73 USB Enhanced Driver" (rt73-k2wrlz-X.X.X) at: http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/

...with versions 2.0.X, I manage to do 'insmod' with success.

(because apparently they load their own internal firmware (v1.7))

but when I do "ifconfig rausb0 up" I keep getting these errors:

"Error 2 opening /etc/Wireless/RT73STA/rt73.bin"

...and:

"usb 1-1.2: ifconfig timed out on ep0out


 * RT2573**<7>USBVendorRequest failed ret=-110"

Also, running 'ifconfig' lists in rausb0 "HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00"

(for clarity, I list the full outputs only at the end of this post)

- Can anybody please help?

I couldn't find an answer for the problem googling around, and I really don't know what to do next...

Since you got it to work - I'm using a Davinci board with the very same dongle - perhaps you could post/email the

source or compiled files?

Regards & looking forward to your answer,
