i) You must install the "modules-preference" fix, as explained in the post where you obtained the driver -
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=346450#346450
This will avoid a potential conflict between the rt3070sta driver and the rt2870sta driver.

ii) USB hubs can be a disaster, in both Linux and Windows. Try again without the hub.

iii) and of course, make sure your Puppy version (which you should have revealed) actually uses the 2.6.30.5 kernel.

I am running Puppy 4.3 small (which has kernel 2.6.30.5) I have a USB WIFI adapter with the Ralink RT3070 chipset. I could not get it to work with the pet for my kernel offered for downloading at the beginning of this post.

However, the Pet made by Tempestuous at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=346450#346450 (rt3070sta-v2.1.2.0-k2.6.30.5.pet) did work without any problems.

The problem with the pet in this post is that the network wizard does not list the WIFI adapter among the interfaces.

Note that I installed pup_event_backend_modprobe_fix_to_p43x-1.pet before installing the rt3070 pet (and I rebooted a few times between installing those 2 pets).

This is suh-WEET!! I now have wireless for my Asus Eee 701SD! I have the Intellinet 150N USB wifi stick and this driver works just fine, so now I can roam at will. Perhaps I'll find out which chipset this netbook has onboard and get a driver for that as well, but for now this does the job just fine. Now all I need is to find the driver for my slackware install....

Thanks for making this available to us all!

ditto
ralink 2870-based usb dongle marketed by Zonetusa.
there must be a thousand thread posts on this topic and a million man hours. tried every single device driver in the Macpup foxy 3 list and none work, including the three or four ralink-specific and 2500/2870-specific ones. why are they in there if they don't work with the specified devices?

Thanks a lot for this driver - good function with actual noname usb stick with ralink chipset.
But profile function in Puppy 4.2.1 did not work, as the essid was not saved.

So i had to add some lines to the personal startup script /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
ifconfig ra0 192.168.xxx.xxx up (if you have a static ip like me)
iwconfig ra0 essid "your_essid"
route add default gw 192.168.xxx.xxx (your routers ip here)

and it works!

Thanks gang for the helpful pointers here in this forum. Since my last post, I've upgraded my netbooks to lucid puppy 5.01, which has all the drivers I needed for both of these netbooks. As for my slackware install, I now use a script to ennable wifi support for that. I'll figure out how or where to install it so I don't have to re-do it on every boot, but for now it's workable. Under puppy, things just work great at bootup and I don't' have to configure anything else. Thanks again!
