Non-Samsung wifi dongle on UE32EH5300

After reading and trying to figure this tutorial (http://woikr.com/home-entertainment/usi ... ternet-tv/) I ran into a problem.
In this tutorial the usb adapter is using the Ralink RT2870 chipset, which driver can be found here: http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_download ... hp?sn=5021
The Wifi adapter that I have is using the Ralink RT2571WF chipset (Sweex LW053)

In the tutorial these changes have to be made in config.mk:
# Support ATE function
HAS_ATE=y <-- Used to be: HAS_ATE=n
# Support Wpa_Supplicant
HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y <-- Used to be: HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=n
# Support Native WpaSupplicant for Network Maganger
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y <-- Used to be: HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n

Now, since my adapter is using another chipset I downloaded the corresponding driver (RT2571W from: http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_download ... hp?sn=5028)
I've been looking through the files, but the config.mk shows only these two lines:
LINUX_SRC=/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14
TARGET_MODDIR=/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/net

Also, I have looked through the other files trying to find something similar to the changes that have to be made, but came up with nothing.
Is it impossible to enable these features, maybe because the driver I'm using is too old? Or am I missing something?

Help is very much appreciated.

Cheers
Juul

Hi, I bought a UA40EH6030. I have similar need for support of non-samsung wireless USB adapter. I could not find any reference to EH6030. Could you please help me with the compatible USB adapter and the respective drives?

Thanks.

Dongles, based on rt2870 or rt5370 chip are ok, you just need to change vid:pid to get them working on e series.

Are you sure these are the only chipsets that work?
