Linksys WUSB54GCv3
Hello all,
First of all, I'm not exactly a Linux guru, so please don't be too
harsh ;)
I have recently bought a wireless USB NIC: The Linksys by Cisco WUSB54GC
version 3. I would like to use it on a Debian system. I have found some
docs telling me that I should use the Ralink rt73usb driver, because it
is build upon the RT2501USB chipset. Other documents [1] told me it uses
the RT2800U chipset and that I should use the rt2870sta drivers instead.
I have tried both these drivers, following these [2][3] tutorials on the
Debian wiki. However, when I connect the USB adapter, iwconfig doesn't
show any other devices than my default lo and eth0 interfaces.
Therefore, I think the drivers are not loaded properly. (I have tried
loading the modules using modprobe) Does anybody have a solution to this
problem?
Greetings,
Eric Spreen
PS When using the rt73usb module, I had kernel version 2.6.26-2-686.
When I tried the rt2870sta module, I installed version 2.6.29-bpo.2-686.
Furthermore I'm using a standard Lenny distribution, without a graphical
interface. (I'm planning to install LXDE, because I want a lightweight
GUI)
