Please use the command LANG=C make if you want to post error messages so that they are in English ;)

hello

laprjns did what he said the tuturial, but not compile.
So I kept looking and found a package of OpenSuSe which has patches for the driver, apply all the patches and compile! and then install.

I have now recognized the wifi card, then try to connect to a wifi network, that of my home. It happened that the laptop freezes when trying to connect to a wifi network with wicd.

no longer do, anyway, here is the source code and all the steps you take to install the wifi card.

Greetings to all and thanks.

package rt5390sta-2.4.0.4-6.3.src.rpm:
http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=r ... debug=true

decompressed file. rpm, then unpack the driver source code, enter the driver folder and started to patch with the following commands.

Code: Select all

$su
$patch -p0 <../rt5390sta-2.4.0.4-WPA-mixed.patch
$patch -p0 <../rt5390sta-2.4.0.4-config.patch

$patch -p0 <../rt5390sta-2.4.0.4-gcc-warnings-x86_64.patch
$patch -p0 <../rt5390sta-2.4.0.4-reduce_debug_output.patch

$patch -p0 <../rt5390sta-2.4.0.4-return_nonvoid_function.patch
$make
$make install
$init 6
Here is the card recognized.

Can you provide the output of lspci? It seems that your card is recognized as an rt2860?

And maybe you could also try ndiswrapper? In some cases it's easier to just use the windows driver.

Hi, there is lspci

Code: Select all

01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)
02:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. Device 539f
and try and ndiswrapper but it was not Windows compatible driver

try and ndiswrapper but it was not Windows compatible driver

I returned to uninstall the card.

I suspect the error is incompatible wext driver, and something has to do with wpa_supplicant.
because I think that the error has to do with the driver wext and perhaps also the compatibility misconfigured wpa_supplicant.

wait your suggestions and thanks for helping friends
