Here you can find the following files for Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 LTS:
If you want to build a module package for your locally installed kernel follow these steps:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get install module-assistant
sudo dpkg -i /path/to/ralink-rt73-source_1.0.3.6_all.deb
cd /tmp mkdir module m-a -l $(uname -r) -t -u module build ralink-rt73
sudo dpkg -i /path/to/ralink-rt73_1.0.3.6_all.deb sudo dpkg -i /tmp/module/ralink-rt73-$(uname -r)_1.0.3.6+<KERNEL-PACKAGE-RELEASE>_i386.debwhere KERNEL-PACKAGE-RELEASE is the actual Dapper kernel version name (eg 2.6.15-27.48). Just have a look into /tmp/module to get the name of the deb package you have just built.
/tmp/module
if no longer needed.
In case you intend to build the module for another than your installed
kernel replace the $(uname -r)
snippets above with the
desired kernel version (e.g. 2.6.15-27-k7).
If you now plug your WUSB54GC in, you will get
a rausb0
device which you may configure
with iwconfig
and ifconfig
.
Please note that you dont need any alias
entries
in /etc/modprobe.conf
with this package, automatic module
loading is provided through the udev
script /etc/udev/rules.d/50-ralink-rt73.rules
contained in
ralink-rt73_1.0.3.6_all.deb.
If you are interested in rebuilding the module source package get
and extract it with
dpkg-source -x ralink-rt73_1.0.3.6.dsc
You can then examine its contents in the
subdirectory ralink-rt73-1.0.3.6
. It contains the upstream
source, two patches (one adds the device ID of the LinkSys WUSB24GC, the
other makes the Makefiles usable for m-a
) and the Debian specific
build stuff.
Rebuilding can be done via
debuild
in the ralink-rt73-1.0.3.6
directory, provided you have
installed the debuild
package and co
(e.g. fakeroot
).
This may be necessary if a new
upstream version of the driver becomes available, the only thing to do
is then to download it into the upstream
directory and
change the variable UPSTREAM
in debian/rules
to the new upstream package name.
This is a Debian style repackaging of the OpenSource RT73 driver available
at
http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.6.tar.gz
The Debian specific stuff follows ideas stolen from
the rt2500
Debian package by Aurelien Jarno (aurel32 at
debian.org)
If you want to use WPA for your RT73 based card you need a
modified wpasupplicant
package which includes the ralink
driver provided in the RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.6.tar.gz
package. You can get it from our local repository at
http://ubuntu.uni-klu.ac.at
in compiled or in source form.
The difference between the Dapper
wpasupplicant (version 0.5.5) and the modified one consists in adding the following
patch: debian/patches/22_add_ralink.dpatch
Furtermore, if you want to use NetworkManager, you need to patch it to
use the above mentioned ralink wpa_driver,
modified network-manager
packages are also available
at http://ubuntu.uni-klu.ac.at.
Again it is only a small diff to apply to
the network-manager
package (version 0.6.2):
Add debian/patches/99-ralink.patch
