Yes, I can (via putty) enter to Debug mode. I can run shell.

Edit: you link navigate to a Russian forum and requires login. I see no topic. I do not speak Russian but I will try the google translator for registration.

Check scripts i attached, they`re fully working. just don`t know if your usb wifi adapter is ok, perhaps you need to change vid&pid or need to use another driver (from SamyGO extensions), you have to adapt code for your TV. Scripts are tuned up to keeping in mind evrything is executed from /mtd_rwarea (check first.)

I read the wiki, it is necessary to change the PID / VID for USB WIFI dongle. Once again, I will study the article about it....

juuso, thanks for the valuable information. I will study it tonight and then I will report my success/failure.

Thanks a lot!

The topic in the forum, which you linked is really really great! Really long article but completely understandable. Thank you for the link - I'll continue studying.

I proceeded step by step as described there but I have been unsuccessful with setting up my wifi dongle (detailed specification). Unfortunately, I probably misunderstood how to change the dogle pid&vid which is plugged in the TV. These commands did not work me:

Code: Select all

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

Moreover lsusb command not found (In the Wiki is written that "You can check dongle PID/VID numbers via using lsusb command"). Hm, Is there some extra utility pack for additional commands?

So, my next stupid question is (I feel like an illiterate idiot)... Is possible to change PID/VID in dongle plugged in TV via console or I need a computer with a Linux OS? Or is it a driver issue? I understand that the problem may be in my dongle. If this should be a problem, I'll buy another one, but I do not have to give up so quickly.

My steps (with Tweak3):

Code: Select all

1) # cp -r /dtv/usb/sda1/Tweak3/SamyGO /mtd_rwarea
2) # chmod 755 /mtd_rwarea/SamyGO/*.sh
3) replace flash disk with Wifi dongle
4) # insmod /mtd_rwarea/SamyGO/modules/rt3370sta.ko
5) # ifconfig ra0 up

Step 5) gives me this error:
SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device

I tried other inerfaces like "rausb0 wlan0 ra11n0" too - the same results.

WiFi Dongle: Belkin F6D4050 v2, VID_050D&PID_935B

you have to use Ubuntu pc or wmvare to change VID and PID.

Ok, I will try to install Ubuntu inside my Win8 using VirtualBox from Oracle. I hope that virtualized Ubuntu will work with custom drivers and access to the USB ports will be granted.

Btw, can you recommend a fast and compatible Wifi Dongle (in case that my usb stick is uncompatible)?

I am totally confused. I installed Ubuntu 12.10 and my dongle was immediately recognized with a driver rt2800usb (works perfectly) but I failed when using the compiled driver according to the instructions on the wiki.

I dutifully proceeded step by step, but my dongle does not work with the compiled driver - dongle does not respond. I forbid all other drivers via blacklist but nothing helped. There is no interface ra0. I tried these drivers:

Code: Select all

2010_0709_RT2870_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1.tar.bz2
2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO.bz2

I tried the alternate instructions on other sites but again without success.
I really do not know what the problem is. Can somebody help? Can be a problem in Ubuntu 12.10?

My kernel version:

Code: Select all

Linux user-EG45M-DS2H 3.5.0-22-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 8 21:41:11 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

lsusb:

Done. I successfully changed the pid and vid on my wifi dongle, uff. I had to use an older driver that I downloaded from an alternative source and downgrade OS to Ubuntu 10.04 (not in VirtualBox).

for completeness:

Code: Select all

OS: Ubuntu 10.04
Driver: DPO_RT3070_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.2_20100412.bz2

In addition to the steps described in the wiki I had made ??two extra steps:

1) copy these two files in the root directory to a new name:

Code: Select all

<driver root>/RT2870STA.dat
<driver root>/RT2870STACard.dat

to

Code: Select all

<driver root>/RT3070STA.dat
<driver root>/RT3070STACard.dat

2) add this line to file <driver root>/common/rtusb_dev_id.c :

Code: Select all

        {USB_DEVICE(0x050D,0x935B)}, /* Belkin F6D4050 v2 *

Then I compiled the driver rt3070sta.ko which was functional for my wifi dongle

lsusb before changing the pid & pid

Code: Select all

Bus 002 Device 007: ID 050d:935b Belkin Components F6D4050 N150 Enhanced Wireless Network Adapter v2000 [Ralink RT3070]

lsusb after changing the pid & pid

Code: Select all

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 04e8:2018 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd WIS09ABGN LinkStick Wireless LAN Adapter

I have not had time to try the dongle in the TV but I hope it will work. I will try it this weekend.

Wifi dongle works!

The wifi dongle works only with the driver rt2870sta. It is strange that the LED indicator on the dongle don't flash even when operating

Unfortunately, I can not connect to a hidden SSID. If the my SSID is not hidden, connect to the router immediately. Is there any solution to connect to a hidden SSID?

Initialization:

Code: Select all

ifconfig ra11n0 up
iwconfig ra11n0 mode Managed
iwconfig ra11n0 essid "MyHiddenSSID"
iwpriv ra11n0 set AuthMode=WPA2PSK
iwpriv ra11n0 set EncrypType=AES
iwpriv ra11n0 set WPAPSK="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
