Enquiry on Linksys WUSB600N

[charlescywong]

I have bought the WUSB600N today. I notice that it requires a driver update. However does it also need a kernel upgrade (like the kernel.lzm)? I am using VMWare to run the BT4.... Thanks.

Why don't you try it out and let us know if you need to update the kernel or not?
I don't understand why someone would ask this kind of questions. It's easier to try it out for yourself than "sitting, waiting, wishing" for an answer.

I think I need the RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0.tar.tar.bz2 to make it works...
After installing this, i try to install the compat-wireless...

I uesd this command to install the compat-wireless

$ wget http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-$(date -I).tar.bz2
$ tar -jxf compat-wireless-$(date -I).tar.bz2
$ cd compat-wireless-$(date -I)
$ wget http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/mac80...g+ack_v1.patch
$ patch -p1 < mac80211.compat08082009.wl_frag+ack_v1.patch
( apply any additional patches that you may need )
$ make
# make install

But when I used the make command, the following error occurs:

root@bt: ~/compat-wireless-2010-02-20# make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.30.9/build M=/root/compat-wireless-2010-02-20 modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.30.9/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [modules] Error 2

My BT4 kernel is 2.6.30.9 by default, but the system tell me that the folder is not there...
I don't think I need the 2.6.32 kernel... how can I get those missing data back? Shell I re-install the kernel?

Thanks ^,^

I have the Wusb600n v1 and it works out of the box with the rt2870 drivers included with bt4
however the Wusb600n V2 has issues working in ubuntu so i would assume the same issues would apply to Bt4
check which version of the adapter you have...

root@bt: ~/compat-wireless-2010-02-20# make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.30.9/build M=/root/compat-wireless-2010-02-20 modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.30.9/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [modules] Error 2

Run this command, then try compiling it again

ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/2.6.30.9/build

My WUSB600N is v1... I checked the linksys by cisco website forum, they said if there is no "v2" printed on the adapter, then it is a v1.

So do you mean that I do not need to install or patch anything in order to make the WUSB600N works? Because I have tried it in a clean, newly installed VMWare workstation with BT4 final. When I input:

iwconfig ra0 up
airmon-ng start ra0
airodump-ng ra0 /* (the interface is ra0 by iwconfig) */

the WUSB600N just scan channel 1 only, although the channel indicated at the top left hand concer is hopping at different channel randomly...

What can I do about it? Please help. Thanks
