Alternative to Samsung wireless stick- help

[Arsh]

Tried writing the EEPROM values manually. Had about 12 free EFUSE blocks.Read the EEPROM, edited it with a HEX editor, re-wrote it back. Still the same Ralink Adapter in lsusb. I wanted to give it another try, but didn't had sufficient free blocks left. I give up with this USB stick.
Going to buy a Edimax stick and try my luck with it.
Thanks juuso and hannah for helping.

I suggest you to think about next wifi usb addapter you are going to buy.

What is tv model?

For F series (as for E series as-well) just those two are recommended w/o changing vid&pid

Code: Select all

- Edimax EW-7722UnD - ID 148f:3572
- Tenda W522U

And next adapters have to be "modified", but confirmed just on E series (no info about F):

Code: Select all

- D-Link DWA-160 rev B2 - ID: 2001:3c1a,
- D-Link DWA-140 rev B3 - ID: 2001:3c15,
- D-Link DWA-125 rev A3 - ID: 2001:3c19,
- D-Link DWA-125 rev B1 - ID: 2001:3c1e,
- TP-LINK TL-WN727N v3 - ID: 148F:5370,
- TP-LINK TL-WDN3200 - ID: 148F:5572,
- Zyxel NWD2105 - ID: 0586:341e,
- D-Link DWA-140 rev B2 - ID: 07d1:3c0a (based on rt3072),
- D-Link DWA-125 rev A2 - ID: 07d1:3c16 (based on rt3070)

Info is taken from here.

Hello,

take a look at http://wiki.samygo.tv/index.php5/Using_ ... es_with_TV

Especially on these steps:

6. Insert the stick and ensure, that you unload every drivermodule that was loaded automatically. Otherwise you cannot load your custom driver

And this:

# bring the interface up (this is important, otherwise iwpriv quits with an error)
sudo ifconfig ra0 up

Hello,
i've been able to change last week the vid and pid of an Intellinet 150N model 524438 based on RT3070 form ID: 148F:3070 to
Samsung WIS09ABGN ID: 04E8:2018 , for just EUR 9 or ?7 or 10$ it works perfectly on E series model UE40EH5300P .
Thank you for the instruction posted on the wiki .

How do I insmod the driver from the downloaed file?
I extracted the contents and found rt5370sta.ko in the root folder. However when i try to insmod it, the following error occurs: insmod: error inserting '/RT5372/rt5370sta.ko': -1 Invalid module format

That means your kernel is not valid for that compiled module

You can check this way:

Code: Select all

$ modinfo ./rt5370sta.ko | grep vermagic
vermagic:       2.6.32-38-generic SMP mod_unload modversions 586 

after compile from sources

Code: Select all

$ make
$ modinfo ./os/linux/rt5370sta.ko | grep vermagic
vermagic:       3.11.0-13-generic SMP mod_unload modversions 

I have changed a few minutes ago with compiled module.

on tv you can use rt2870sta from wifi addons. Install as usual with exlink.
