Problem with a driver for EDUP WI-FI card

Hallo to all !!!

Pls, help me! I can not install a driver for device EDUP WU2070. I have a disk with a driver for linux general. I don’t know how to compile a makefile. My OS 11.3v doesn’t see a device.
But when I run in Live CD mode all drivers install automatically and my WI-FI device work properly.
I don’t know what is a problem???

I just run from live CD and my wireless card work properly. When I come back to the real OS it doesn’t work) I don’t understand…

If you were to tell us what the EDUP wifi card is, we might be able to help.
Please post the output of


/sbin/lspci -nn
lsusb

The first one is needed for PCI devices, the second is for USB devices.

It’s a USB device Ralink RT2070 ABGN WLAN Card (Ralink corp. | Home)
Output for lsusb command:

Did you install the firmware? You should be able to see the file name from the
command ‘dmesg | grep firmware’.

Obviously, it is on the Live CD, but needs to be installed. Did you have the USB
device plugged in when you did the installation? If not, the installer didn’t
learn that you have the device.

When I put command I see:
0.971425] platform radeon_cp.0: firmware: requesting radeon/RS780_pfp.bin
0.972568] platform radeon_cp.0: firmware: requesting radeon/RS780_me.bin
0.973504] platform radeon_cp.0: firmware: requesting radeon/R600_rlc.bin

I didn’t install any firmware.
How can I do this? What is I must have?

I have a disk from a vendor. This is instruction:
Build Instructions
1. $tar -xvzf yyyy_mmdd_RT2070_Linux_STA_x.x.x.x.tgz
go to “./yyyy_mmdd_RT2070_Linux_STA_x.x.x.x” directory.
2. In Makefile
a. set the “MODE = STA” in Makefile
b. choose the TARGET to Linux by set “TARGET = LINUX”
c. define the Linux kernel source include file path LINUX_SRC modify to meet your need.
3. In os/linux/config.mk
define the GCC and LD of the target machine.
define the compiler flags CFLAGS.
modify to meet your need.
** Build for being controlled by NetworkManager
Please set ‘HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y’ and ‘HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y’.
** Build for being controlled by WpaSupplicant with Ralink Driver
Please set ‘HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y’ and ‘HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n’.
4. compile driver source code
$make
5. $cp RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat
# !!!CHECK IF IT IS A BINARY FILE BEFORE LOADING !!!
6. load driver
#[kernel 2.4]
# $/sbin/insmod rt2070sta.o
# $/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up
#[kernel 2.6]
# $/sbin/insmod rt2070sta.ko
# $/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up
7. unload driver
$/sbin/ifconfig ra0 down
$/sbin/rmmod rt2070sta

How can I do this with a OpenSUSE?

Don’t go that way. Follow @lwfinger’s advice, he’s one of our networking specialists. If it works from the LiveCD, all needed is on it.
Does Yast - Network - Network settings show the device? If so, try to configure it.

When I open Yast - Network - Network settings I don’t see any wlan device. Then I try create a new wlan usb. But when Yast creates a configuration after my change the new wlan adapter is deleted. And after I come back to Yast i don’t see any wlan adapter.

But I have one interesting things. When i just attach my device into PC the LED on a edup lights. But when I try to create wlan on Yast the LED starts to blink. When I restart my PC it stops.

I’m confused. The driver in the Linux kernel does not use firmware files with
these names. Where did this driver come from?

Did you use the Live CD (where the wireless works) to install the running
system? Is this 11.3? If the version is the same, then as root you can boot the
CD, mount the / partition of your installed system at some <mnt_point>, and copy
the files from /lib/firmware/radeon/ to <mnt_point>/lib/firmware/radeon/.

Yes I use the same live CD to install the running system. It’s 11.3 version.

Please, show me step by step how to mount the CD, and the all that I must do for you last proposition.

Thanks for your time)

You have to read very carefully. I did not say to mount the CD - you boot the
CD, then mount the HARD DRIVE partition. To do that, you need to open a terminal
from the Live system and do the following:


su -
mkdir /slash
mount /dev/sdaX /slash

As to the value of X in the mount command, you will need to supply that. Use the
‘df’ command from the running system (NOT the Live CD).
