RE: Wi-Fi (Wi-Pi) dongle setup
I had a similar problem. The new xbian-config didn't work it out completely on its own. But I was able to solve this by using a micro-USB power adapter instead of drawing power from a USB port from my plasma TV. Seems that power draw in addition to using the new xbian-config are required in some circumstances. Hope that helps someone else in this same conundrum.

RE: Wi-Fi (Wi-Pi) dongle setup
I´ve got the same dongle but i'm not able to make ift work properly. it connects, but i continuosly get TX excessive retries and the speed is really slow.
I compiled the RT5370STA driver instead of RT2800usb in Raspbian and it works like a charm. I found it here: https://github.com/alangomes/rt5370sta and it includes changes needed for my dongle ('HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y' and 'HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y') I tried the complided file rt5370sta.ko with no success Any way to compile the module for Xbian? Thanks in advance |

What I did was (in Raspbian): cd ~ git clone https://github.com/alangomes/rt5370sta cd rt5370sta sudo make clean sudo make sudo make install after that: modprobe -r rt2800usb modprobe rt5370sta and it worked! --> excellent conexion In Xbian, I put the files I had in Raspbian: /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat and /lib/modules/`uname -r´/kernel/drivers/net/rt5370sta.ko once copied: depmod modprobe -r rt2800usb modprobe rt5370sta --> INVALID EXEC FILE I think that is because of the kernel version, but i think that have the lastest in both Raspbian and Xbian (3.6.11+) Thanks a lot for you answer |

RE: Wi-Fi (Wi-Pi) dongle setup
Then is seems like this driver isn't compatible with the latest kernel. I tried to compile it against our latest kernel source but i got the same error.

RE: Wi-Fi (Wi-Pi) dongle setup
You should download the whole /lib/modules/3.6.11+ folder and the /boot/kernel.img file.

I´ve already copied the kernel.img file, tried the driver and it works! Edit: Finally i could copy the whole folder. Tried and... YES!!! Now I have a perfect wireless connection! Thank you very much. This issue was driving me crazy Hope this helps someone else |
