Hi there!

I bought a Wifi USB Stick with rt3070 chip (Here the Amazon Link:  WLAN USB Stick Verstärker Dongle 150Mbps 100mW ) and wanted to get the Stick working with the WDR4300 (and also with TP-Link mr3020) and Attitude Adjustment Final.

I tried to install the following packet but it was allready installed:

kmod-mac80211

lsusb gives following:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter

iwconfig doesent give me any new WiFi Interface:

root@OpenWrt:/lib/wifi# iwconfig
eth0.1    no wireless extensions.

lo        no wireless extensions.

hello,

can you explain in detalis how can i install firmware for this TP-Link mr3020 router and to works with Wifi USB Stick with rt3070 chip. I cant understand how to install it and when have i to write these commands.

Thank you

chiarinotti, please don't hijack existing threads with completely unrelated[1] questions, but create a new threads instead.

[1] unrelated as in, rt3070 != "NETGEAR WNDA3100 v2". rt3070 is supported by the mainline kernel for ages, this topic is about getting something working which should work, maybe with a little help. "NETGEAR WNDA3100 v2" on the other hand is completely different hardware, using a Broadcom, instead of RaLink/ Mediatek, chipset, a chipset which doesn't have any kind of mainline linux support, and therefore isn't supportable (I don't even think that a closed source mips driver exists).

This thread is related to AA, not BB/14.07. Please open a new thread.

The discussion might have continued from here.
