Driver loading issues with rt2870sta? Subject description: Ralink rt2870 not detected after loading rt2870 module
Attempted with Sony laptop, Dell laptop, and Dell netbook.
Install: frugal onto USB flash drive.
System: Puppy 5.2.5 . Not using 5.2.8, due to sound problems.
The new USB adapter isn't detected.
lsusb shows the device as 148f:5370
ifconfig doesn't show any wireless
frisbee does not detect any wireless networks at all or anything relating to wireless.
Maybe this is what you are looking for: rt5370sta-v2.5.0.1-k2.6.33.2.pet
It is in the Drivers for Puppy 5.1-5.2.8 with 2.6.33.2 kernel thread.
YES!!!!!
That did the trick.
Once the rt5370sta driver was installed, instead of existing rt2870sta, Frisbee took over, and vooiillllla --> there's connectivity.
Thank you so much CatDude
