Gent's,
my rt3572 chipsatz (Alpha awuS052NH) performs very poor with OpenWrt and Carambola2 device.
The same usb Wifi stick performs very well on other devices (laptop/hummingboard/bananaPi).
Performing means -> very low txpower.

So, I think, it has something to do with the driver and maybe some special patches in compat-wireless stuff.
There are ~30 patches...
Now I want to edit the patched file, and "just" compile the kernel modul.
Is that possible? and if yes how :-)
Of course, already compiled the complete image for Carambola2, and flashed. everything works, without the rt2800usb driver.

Regards
Peter

Hmm, currently, I didn't see how to compile the patched driver.
Can you share a little bit more information?

Thanks
