rt2570 module crashes on Ubunu 8.04 ppc

thetravellor · **Joined:** Thu Jul 13, 2006 10:36 am **Posts:** 14

The standard rt2500usb drivers as loaded by the kernel for my Asus WL-167g (on all recent PPC Linuxes). The interface loads, can sort of associate, but cannot get an ip address, even with WEP turned off (let alone WPA)

In response I am trying to install the serialmonkey rt2570 module. This is the CVS daily version of the serialmonkey module code for the rt2570, it compiles cleanly and installs, but crashes on modprobe.

I am working on an iMac G5 (ppc 64). Have given up trying to get the Airport to work (fwcutter driver dies, ndiswrapper incompatible with PPC platform). Now I am trying to get a ralink based ASUS WL-167g to work:

This is the device:

Code:

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0b05:1706 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. WL-167G 802.11g Adapter [ralink]

Linux version Ubuntu 8.04

Code:

Linux blackbox 2.6.24-19-powerpc64-smp #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 23:39:57 UTC 2008 ppc64 GNU/Linux

I have also tried by installing an rt2570 package from the ubuntu repositories, that doesnt even compile:

It is present in the apt repositories, but will not compile using the "debian" way...:

The particular ubuntu package is rt2570-source

Code:

sudo module-assistant build rt2570

Code:

I also tried a standard "make" but this bombed with the same errors:

rt2570.ko failed to build!
make: *** [module] Error 1

I would be very greatful for some help. I noted I posted on here about two years ago about the same USB dongle.....it wasnt working then either.

Hi thetravellor,

Could you download from CVS, build with debug enabled, and then attach a gzipped copy of /var/log/kern.log to a posting here? If you can, just include the interval beginning with modprobe, and ending when things go south.

Thanks,

mainly fyi:

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:

Code:

# use the rt2570 driver instead
blacklist rt2x00lib
blacklist rt2500usb
blacklist rt2x00usb

the module is still in memory, despite the kernel oops:

Code:

user@blackbox:/var/log$ lsmod | grep rt
parport                66248  2 ppdev,lp
rt2570                360784  2

Basically, using your log paste-in as an example:

Code:

egrep 'Aug 18 18:3' /var/log/kern.log|gzip >kern.log.gz

then attach that to your posting.
