Please help me Changing VID and PID Values for Lexosys Nano

[stevejobs]

I have bought Lexosys Nano 150N to change PID and VID and use it with my Samsung B series TV
I have bought this as a user reported that it has worked in the below link in the comments section
http://woikr.com/home-entertainment/usi ... ternet-tv/

In Linux Mint 16 WIFI scanning,connecting and internet is working with the adapter but while using wpriv ra0 e2p 208=04E8 same message as below comes
s-desktop linux # iwpriv ra0 e2p 208=04E8
ra0 no private ioctls.

I have tried on below operating system versions
ubuntu-13.10-desktop-i386
ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386
ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-i386
ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386
ubuntu-12.04.4-desktop-i386
ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386

At present I am using Linux mint 16 based on ubuntu 13.10 kernel version
s-desktop linux # uname -r
3.11.0-12-generic


All the above operating systems giving the same error as
s-desktop linux # iwpriv ra0 e2p 208=04E8
ra0 no private ioctls.

s-desktop linux # iwpriv ra0 e2p 20A=2018
ra0 no private ioctls.

I have also tried to add my USB ID in rtusb_dev_id.c if I do that then after entering iwpriv ra0 e2p 208=04E8 then the cusor goes to next line without giving any output and remains like that blinking
At this time if I remove the adapter it gives a error message as
Interface doesn't accept private ioctl...
set (8BE2): Network is down

I have also used the driver and Ubuntu version suggested in the below link which is taken from a Russian forum
viewtopic.php?f=62&t=6450&start=0


What I have done is
1.I have plug in the adapter to verify the the PID and VID values so and issued comman as below
s-desktop ~ # lsusb
Bus 001 Device 012: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

2.Noted the values 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp

3.Downloaded the driver which has roperted to work with this adapter in the above link 2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO.bz2
Extracted it and renamed the folder as DRIVER_ROOT

4.Navigated to /home/s/Desktop/DRIVER_ROOT/os/linux and changed the parameters in the file config.mk as below
# Support ATE function
HAS_ATE=y
# Support Wpa_Supplicant
HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y
# Support Native WpaSupplicant for Network Maganger
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y

Verified that MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); is there in usb_main_dev.c it is as below
MODULE_AUTHOR("Paul Lin <paul_lin@ralinktech.com>");
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("RT2870 Wireless Lan Linux Driver");
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
#ifdef CONFIG_STA_SUPPORT
#ifdef MODULE_VERSION
MODULE_VERSION(STA_DRIVER_VERSION);
#endif
#endif /* CONFIG_STA_SUPPORT */

5.I have issued the following commands
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get upgrade
# sudo apt-get install build-essential
# sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

6.navigated to DRIVER_ROOT
s-desktop ~ # cd /home/s/Desktop/DRIVER_ROOT

Please help me I am trying this from 5 days but unable to change the values

Thanks in advance

Anybody please help me

[juusso]

If you can russian, here is some extended howto.
http://forum.ixbt.com/topic.cgi?id=62:18971:1243#1243

Use google translator if you can`t read original.

[stevejobs]

I have tried the procedure from the link you have given above

1.Downloaded the mentioned version of Ubuntu 12.04.3 Installed it on USB drive using UNetbootin After booting selected the try without installing option

2.Downloaded the driver mentioned in the above link but after compiling I got the driver rt5370sta instead of rt5572sta mentioned in the link

3.Anyway I have tried the rt5370sta instead of rt5572sta as I have got this module after compiling
Following the process I have loaded the module and also checked it if it is installed or not as below

root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu/Desktop/1/RT5372/os/linux# lsmod | grep rt
rt5370sta 734689 0
parport_pc 27612 0
parport 40930 3 parport_pc,ppdev,lp


Then issued the command as

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop/1/RT5372/os/linux$ sudo ifconfig ra0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
ra0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device

root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu/Desktop/1/RT5372/os/linux# sudo iwpriv ra0
ra0 no private ioctls.

Please guide me what to do next

Is the process I am following has any mistake

Please reply

When I installed the drivers from disk I was able to use the wifi adapter by connecting to other networks
I have issued the below commands and the output is

No need to compile anything.
1. Download and run http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ubun ... p-i386.iso
2. download and load driver http://file.tonar-shop.ru/files/RT5372.zip
3. change vid&pid according instructions.

This driver has extended command set (dump full eeprom of wifi dongle, show EFUSE info about left free cells (key -u) etc. More info:
http://forum.ixbt.com/topic.cgi?id=62:18971:1243#1246

[stevejobs]

I have downloaded the driver again from the above post and tried to load without compiling I am getting

root@ubuntu:/home/s/Desktop/RT5372# sudo insmod rt5370sta.ko
insmod: error inserting 'rt5370sta.ko': -1 Invalid module format

I am using Ubuntu 12.04.3

Excuse me but I don't think if your WiFi dongle has a RT2870 chipset instead, it looks like that has a rt5370.

So even if you able to change PID/VID, the USB device cannot work on the B series.
I try to make it working with RT3070 device and I am able to change the PID/VID of USB. TV recogized the dongle but doesn't work properly due different chipset.
I compiled new drivers etc. and tried everything without success.

Indeed, if you are able to connect TV via non rt2870a chipset ( like rt3070 or rt5370 ) no B Series, as an original dongle (means TV recognize the dongle and could connect to another AP with WPA), I remember that I am offering a $100 bounty for the job. But no one came with a solution, yet.

Best solution to give WiFi internet access for this TV is buying a TL-703N device (~$20) and configure it to connect your WiFi network and serve the data thru ethernet jack. Connect it to your B series TV ethernet + USB ports and viola! When TV powered on, device will be powered also and serve internet thru ethernet jack. It's also tiny and you could hide it behind the your TV. Not need to work on your WiFi dongle.

I have bought this adapter as a user reported that it has worked in the below link in the comments section
http://woikr.com/home-entertainment/usi ... ternet-tv/

as

I was able to use Leoxsys LEO-NANO150N for the same purpose. I ordered it from Ebay India for a Rs.425 but I still had my doubts. I had asked the seller about the exact chipset. He wasn't sure but he said that I could return the product if it didn't meet my needs. I ordered it and tried the above method. Sadly, the RT2870 drivers didn't work. Neither was the adapter recognized, nor was the e2p ioctl was available. I had almost given up and thought of downloading the drivers from their website. So I downloaded the drivers and it turns out, this(2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO.bz2) was the driver file. I downloaded all the build essentials, etc. as mentioned above and compiled the drivers. The adapter was detected and I was able to use it with ubuntu 10.04. Then, I just thought of trying the change the VID/PID with e2p ioctl. And voila! It worked. I connected the adapter to my Samsung UA40EH6030 TV and the TV got connected to my Wi-Fi immediately. So guys, add this Leoxsys Leo-Nano150N to the list of alternatives to the Samsung Wifi stick. This is the link to the Ebay India page of the product : http://www.ebay.in/itm/Ralink-RT2870-LE ... 338101ed70.

Another user in the comments section

I have also ordered the same dongle from ebay for 425/_. Waiting to be delivered in couple of days. You mentioned it will not work with 2870 driver even though vendor mentioned it to be RT2870 based dongle.

I also downloaded the new driver file you mentioned, but it creates only one module file for RT5370. Is that the one used with your dongle. Please confirm.

SAME USER AS ABOVE


Finally I got the LEON150 today from ebay. I could easily change the VID/PID for the dongle using 2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO.bz2 driver file with changes suggested on this forum. Once changed it was visible as Samsung Wifi Adapter from lsusb.



ANYWAY THANKS FOR THE REPLY I WILL TRY ANY OTHER ADAPTER WITH RT2870 OR I WILL USE A ROUTER WITH LAN PORT ON TV

ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU

[erdem_ua]

If you read carefully, user changed this USB pid/vid for UA40EH6030 means E series TV. Not For B series. So even if you are able to change your PID/VID, it's RT5370 device and B series TV doesn't gonna work properly with it. You have to find real RT2870 device for make the hack working on B series TV.

Erdem
