D Series Alternative WiFi Dongle HW

[erdem_ua]

Hi there,
I bought a new WiFi dongle which is RT3072 chipset.

TV don't recognizes it with original FW.
I tried with rt3070 module, compiled from samsung source, TV found the dongle but cannot connect the net.

Do anyone tried to use different dongles on D series?
Any success?

What type of original dongle is used in the d series? Probably a 2870.
I ve also got a 3072 stick, and will try to compile for bd-c5500.
Maybe use original driver from ralink and compile for arm or mips
Dont know the d series.

In D series, it looks like 2 WiFi chip supported. One is from Broadcom, other is rt3572... It's dual (2.4 / 5.2 Ghz) dongle.
I think original driver support rt307x dongles but just filtered PID/VID values...

Weird thing is, I have another dongle which uses rndis_wlan chip.. I compiled kernel modules and depend ones ( usbnet.ko cdc_ether.ko rndis_host.ko rndis_wlan.ko).
But it doesn't working.
Could anyone say why?

Here is kernel messages at attaching USB...

But my custom compile rt chip works. At least, it loads its compiled driver.
Is there any filtering over here?

"Hardware Way" doesn't work.
Changed my RT3072 to as VID:PID : 148F:2018

Does anyone have RT30xxEEPROM.bin? Wanted to test with it also

[nspierbundel]

firmware file from ubuntu pc, don `t know if this is the same as eeprom file
Daniel

[erdem_ua]

Does it have similar name?
Why don't you attach here?


Also I think Samsung doesn't open some GPL codes.
There is no source code for rt3572sta.ko file in package. Just for rtutil3572sta.ko and rtnet3572sta.ko..
I send a inquiry to Samsung about opening this GPL sources at 11_UE_UAxxD6xx0.zip package

I searched on both TV and in your opensource package, but

Source package just contains codes for rtutil3572sta.ko and rtnet3572sta.ko, defined at your HOW_TO_BUILD.txt file.

* Building rtutil3572sta.ko, rtnet3572sta.ko

* Unpack the DPA_S_RT3572_LinuxSTA_V2.4.0.4.tgz and cd into it (tar -zxvf DPA_S_RT3572_LinuxSTA_V2.4.0.4.tgz; cd DPA_S_RT3572_LinuxSTA_V2.4.0.4)

But your TV has another kernel module, which name is "rt3572sta", located at:
/mtd_appdata/WIFI_LIB/rt3572sta.ko
But your source pack doesn't include files for building this file.Probably those removed from the package.
I request to open this this deleted sources under GPL license.
Thanks

I communicated with my router from TV by using shell commands and my compiled rt3070sta.ko..
TV doesn't accept it from it's menus but using custom 2.6.30's rt307x drivers working. If you are able to configure from shell.
I don't tried with WEP or WPA encryption... - Now tried and see, both of them doesn't work... Due setup?

To do that

Code: Select all

cp /etc /mtd_rwarea/etc
mkdir -p /mtd_rwarea/etc/Wireless/RT2870STA
cp /mtd_appdata/WIFI_LIB/RT2870STA.dat  /mtd_rwarea/etc/Wireless/RT2870STA
mount -o bind /mtd_rwarea/etc /etc
ifconfig ra0 up
iwconfig ra0 ap <Mac adress of your AP>
ifconfig ra0 <a IP from your network>
route add gw <your gateway address, modems one>

But TV still reject my rndis_wlan wifi dongle

[nspierbundel]

I attached it here.
Dont know why its not there.
Ill upload it later again.

Why would i make post and not upload file. I think the .bin is being rejected

[juusso]

Zip this to archive and attach to forum. thanks.
