Wireless Ralink rt73 Classmate PC not work !

[Hacao]

Hi all,

Howto using rt73 wireless (inside laptop) Classmate PC (Intel) Puppy 2.16 & 3.01 ?





Puppy 2.16 not included rt73 driver, 3.01 not detected correct (show rt2570) and not work.

Thanks,

Puppy v2.16 does contain the rt73 module, but it's an older unstable version, and it won't work with wpa_supplicant.
Use the updated version from here -

And as paulsiu reported, it might be necessary to load the firmware_class module first -

Code: Select all

modprobe firmware_class

For Puppy v3.01, just unload the wrong module and load the correct one -

Code: Select all

rmmod rt2570
modprobe rt73

Thanks, tempestuous. In addition, pakt has done some experiments on RT73, so I will alert him about this thread.
