D Series Alternative WiFi Dongle HW

It says

NVM is Efuse and the information is too less to bring up interface. Force to use EEPROM Buffer Mode
ERROR!!! E2PROM: WRONG VERSION 0x2, should be 1
phy mode> Error! The chip does not support 5G band 0!

Where to find v1?

[nspierbundel]

Try the 2870 from my link

[erdem_ua]

I think they all wrong, I inspect the source and saw something like that, MAX_EEPROM_SIZE is 1024...

At the other hand, we make a connection without encryption with using rt3070sta from linux kernel...
I think trying to make it allowing WPA and WEP connections is better...
We don't needed to use Samsungs drivers..

Tommorrow I will disable the link, feel free to take what you want.
Can you help me with the @tv widget hack? It installs but doesnt copy anything to usb ext3 777. Is this default behaviour after speciffic firmware version or should it just work when installed?

[erdem_ua]

I also found similar binaries from my ubuntu 9.10 VM and they are v2 too.

Could you believe that I don't tried the @tv widget hacks yet?
I have other things in mind. Don't know how it's working actually.

[nspierbundel]

Try ralink site. Ive downloaded firmware from there before.

Actualy i.cant believe it
Maybe someone else can confirm how @tv hack works

Installed some minutes ago

Edit:

Samsung said that rt3572sta.ko is not compiled from open sourced codes...

- For ensuring of protecting of Ralink's intellectual property,
it is impossible to deliver for rt3572sta without Ralink's agreement.
( Ralink doesn't have delivered of rt3572sta.ko including Samsung. )
- Other MODULE_LICENSE(GPL)kernel modules are uploaded according to GPL v2 license agreements.

I made modinfo and saw there is no license info at file... Weird.

Hello.

Got myself a DWA-125 (rev. A3, FW ver: 1.50) and after few hours of trying, I was finally able to get the drivers working.

The problem is when I try to modify VID and PID using those two commands on wiki page.

Code: Select all

iwpriv ra0 e2p 208=04E8
iwpriv ra0 e2p 20A=2018

They return:

Code: Select all

ra0       e2p:208=04E8
ra0       e2p:20A=2018

The VID and PID are NOT changed. What seems to be the problem? Or just might be different EEPROM addresses in this A3 hardware revision?

Thanks.
