WLAN/PCI card not found in Opensuse 11.4

English Network/Internet
1

I am having difficulties in getting the PCI/WLAN interface to operate in my desktop PC. The WLAN/PCI card contains a RaLink 3062 device, which, according to the supplier, should work witk rt2860 driver supplied with Opensuse 11.4 (…drivers/staging/rt2860/rt2860sta.ko).

The interface does not show up in yast/…/Network interfaces.

Output from some commands:

I made two attempts to send my question. Both however do not show the command outputs in a readable way (copy and paste from text file with LF as delimiter). Sorry about that. This is a new attempt with CR/LF as delimiter. Hope this works better:

that is, by far the best so far…but, for future reference, most
think it best to use the instructions here http://goo.gl/i3wnr

I removed your othe thread. And as said, use CODE tags: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/information-new-users/advanced-how-faq-read-only/451526-posting-code-tags-guide.html

Further experimenting and compilation of recommended driver DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217 and selecting device rt 3062, which is the device of my card, resulted in:

  • Successful operation in system with kernel 2.6.32.
  • Compilation stops (“no rules for makefile available”) with kernel 2.3.37, which is the system I am aiming to use.

For the time being it seems to me that the make file of the driver package is incompatible with kernel 2.3.37…

you really need to catch Larry’s attention, somehow…

if you are sure you posted all the output (and information) he requested

Thanks for your concern.

For the time being it seems to me, as mentioned earlier, that the problem is that the driver source program does not compile together with the actual kernel, 2.6.37 in my Opensuse 11.4 installation.

I managed compile the driver source program in a different PC using kernel 2.6.32 (an Ubuntu 10.x installation). The WLAN/PCI board works without problem in the Ubuntu PC.

I assume that I have to contact the driver source supplier for assistance on how to compile the driver together with kernel 2.6.37…*

Finally I have succeeded in compiling the module (some kernel module development sw was missing in my PC). I can identify networks in my neigbourhood with iwlist but the board does not show up in
Yast/…/Network settings for configuration.

Appreciate hints on how to proceed.

Here is present information from my PC:

You seem to have completley ignored the above. Result: corrupted computer text in your post.
Because it is a new day here and I am (still) in a good mood, I will show you how it works when properly done:

Complete and uanabridged: prompt, command, output, prompt. No need to tell stories like: “Output from command “lspci”:”.
No smileys, no interpreted URLs, fixed font, white space layout preserved, vertical and horizontal scrolling added when needed. In short all we need to see what you saw in one. Please, your turn.

I apologize. My problem is that I do not have an Internet connection available at the site where my PC with the WLAN problem is (even if ifconfig reports eth0 availability). I will when my WLAN connection becomes operable… Consequently, as I understand, I can not insert command output results “with CODE” as this forum is not accessible without an Internet connection.

In the meantime my only way, as I understand, is to log the command results into a file to a USB-memory and, later, bring the file to an other site with Internet connection and sent it from there.

Anyway, my remaining problem seems to be that yast does not identify my WLAN/PCI board. Instead I hope to be able to configure it with iwconfig. Or do you have any other recommendation?

12

Well, when you redirect the output to files on an USB stick, that will still contain all the characters (unclusing spaces and tabs). Thus whn you read that file on another system (wher eyou post), you can still cat it in a terminal and copy/paste from there between CODE tags. I do not see the problem If you even had tried to put CODE tags around ewhat you posted above instead of just ignoring the advice without further explanation.

Your device seems to be gotten the name ra0. Does YaST > Network > Network devices not offer you it?

13

No. Yast only offers eth0.

14

I would still urge you to repost your outputs between CODE tags. Even if a few things like prompt and command fail, the other features of CODE will still improve the redability. What you showed until now does not invite many people to look into IMHO.
I would also do this in a new thread, where the name of your device is in the Title of the thread, This to draw the attention of people who use the same or similar device. Something like: WLAN/PCI card contains a RaLink 3062 device shows as ra0, not as wlan0, YaST does not see it.
You may of course vary on this title as you think fit, but IMHO these are the crucial elements of your problem.

15

I will consider re-posting later according to your suggestion. For the time being, and for some time, I am not at the site where I have the problem.
