Install driver Ralink RT2870

Hi guys,

I try to build the image for a Ralink WLAN driver.
I follow this instructs:
[all variants] Install linux drivers for ralink rt2870 - Ubuntu Forums](http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=960642)

But in the make I encounter this problem.

The compiler for the image file is ok → /tools/binh2.
But make:*** …directories it stops?

Some libs missing?

Hello In_Control01,

You need to install the package kernel-default-devel.

Good luck!:wink:

Hi Edward, where do I find this package on the repos?

And what is kernel-default-devel?

Hello In_Control01,

It’s available in the default repositories.
So open YaST->Software->Software Management.
And enter this in the search box:

kernel-default-devel

Select the package and click on install.

That’s a package containing the source of the kernel.
Which is needed to compile the module you want to compile.

Good luck!:wink:

Edward, I got the kernel libs now. But still same error on lib/modules.

Hello In_Control01,

I see the problem now.
You need to install kernel-desktop-devel.
I sad kernel-default-devel, sorry:shame:

Good luck!:wink:

Tnx Edward, u saved my day…

How do I open ‘rt2870sta.ko’ Is this a binary file? Srry i was windows user.

Hello In_Control01,

Open a terminal and run this command:

insmod rt2870sta.ko

This will insert the module into the Linux kernel.

Good luck!:wink:

I need superuser privileges to run insmod…

Is ‘usdo’ to set those priveleges?

“sudo -c” not work.

Hi,

try “su -” (enter password) and then the command you want to use.

Note that this puts you into superuser mode.

Quit it again with “exit” as soon as you’re done.

Do I need to type ‘root’ as password? Maybe thats my fault…
I type my own user password. :stuck_out_tongue:

You must use the root password. root is the name of the super user (administrator) That user has a password. su and it’s kin allow you to change which account you control. Normally you change to root but in theory you can change to any user.
