[How-To] Alternatives of Samsung WiFi Link Stick

[nspierbundel]

Ty
I lookedup a previous link i posted and most 125 pens are 3070, can someone with a working stick post rev no and chip type?

[coticj]

Is there a way to compile the 3070 driver for the C650-series?

[juusso]

Somewhere Erdem posted rt3070 driver for D series already. You should try it...

Hey juuso, do you maybe have a link, as all I can find is this thread?

Hello.

Got myself a DWA-125 (rev. A3, FW ver: 1.50) and after few hours of trying, I was finally able to get the drivers working.

The problem is when I try to modify VID and PID using those two commands on wiki page.

Code: Select all

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

They return:

Code: Select all

ra0       e2p:208=04E8
ra0       e2p:20A=2018

The VID and PID are NOT changed. What seems to be the problem? Or just might be different EEPROM addresses in this A3 hardware revision?

Thanks.

RT5370 maybe not compatible to use e2p

can you do a full hex dump as described a couple pages earlier ?

If by full hex dump you mean running that little script that try all EEPROM addresses via "iwpriv ra0 e2p {addr}", I already done it and it's not useful.
It contains nothing but "ra0 e2p:0" and so on until "ra0 e2p:b128". After 1hour or so I just stop the script with ^c...

Interesting thing is that now I try to do the same thing with another dongle - "Edimax EW-7711UAn" and same results: VID and PID not changed.
This model is clearly mentioned on wiki page so I started to think is a driver fault so I tried using several versions of Ralink driver (v2.4.0.1, v2.5.0.1, v2.5.0.3). Same thing.

What am I doing wrong??? My distro is a Debian - "Linux debian 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Nov 3 05:54:18 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux".
