Does anyone know of a USB wireless network adapter that works on Gentoo?

Linksys makes the WUSB54GC I believe its called, I am using it on my
sisters computer, I havent tested it under gentoo but it is based on
the rt73 trip and works fine under Ubuntu. Hope this helps

Sorry for the typo that should say rt73 chip not trip

I was actually just researching that exact one.  Have you tested it
with WPA?  Which driver are you using?  gentoo-portage.com lists a few
ralink drivers but no rt73.

I haven't tested the WPA yet, I know it works well with a WEP
encryption. I can test WPA tomorrow while everyone is at work and get
back to you with those results. I used the CVS driver provided at this
link [1] and followed the directions posted here [2]. Like I said I
havent tested under gentoo, but I see no reason why the drivers
wouldn't work.

No need for you to test.  I'm going to buy one right now and I'll
report back with my results.  There are some ebuilds I'll try for the
rt73 driver on bugs.gentoo.org.

I'm using ASUS WL-167g USB WLAN (rt73usb) and work well with or without
WPA_SUPPLICANT.

driver is already integrated in  sys-kernel/vanilla-sources (2.6.24-rc5)

I can't get any of the rt* ebuilds to compile except for CVS rt73-9999
from bugs.gentoo.org and that one doesn't work with wpa_supplicant.  I
think the others won't compile because of my 64 bits (again).  rt2x00
includes an rt73 driver but it requires 2.6.24.  hardened-sources
isn't there yet and configuring a new kernel is such a pain.  I know
I'd end up with a bunch of new problems.  ndiswrapper is also a no-go
unless I can find 64-bit XP drivers that work.

Actually i'm using vanilla-sources just for rt73usb driver.
I've Gentoo 64Bit too.
Before i used Gentoo-Sources.
I just copy my .config from Gentoo Sources to Vanilla Sources and i have
no issue (since 2 month).

Nice, we're doing the same thing then.  Did you place the firmware in
/lib/firmware manually like I did?

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: USB Wireless Network Adapter?

For rt73usb no firmware is needed. Just use vanilla kernel built-in module.

as i did:

CONFIG_RT2X00=m
CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB=m
CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_USB=m
CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_FIRMWARE=y
# CONFIG_RT2400PCI is not set
# CONFIG_RT2500PCI is not set
# CONFIG_RT61PCI is not set
# CONFIG_RT2500USB is not set
CONFIG_RT73USB=m
CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_DEBUGFS=y
CONFIG_RT2X00_DEBUG=y

With:

[I] sys-kernel/vanilla-sources
     Installed versions:  2.6.24_rc5(2.6.24_rc5)(02:05:20
16.12.2007)(-build -symlink)
     Homepage:            http://www.kernel.org
     Description:         Full sources for the Linux kernel

I'm using vanilla-sources-2.6.24-rc6 and I have the same options
enabled as you except for the debug stuff, but the driver only works
if I have /lib/firmware/rt73.bin which is installed by the
bugs.gentoo.org ebuild for rt73-9999.  Can you verify that you don't
have that file?

But i don't remember to setted up it.

Well, it wasn't the kernel right? :)

Were you experimenting with driver packages for the rt73 outside of
the kernel?  That's where mine came from.  If you remove that firmware
your device won't work.  I've filed a bug here:

Yes i emerge it but after i've unmerged it.

So probably was added during this install.

I think it's net-wireless/rt2x00 with rt73usb flag

Yeah I can't get that to compile even on vanilla-sources-2.6.24-rc7.
The developer says it uses a newer version of some wireless stuff that
is in git-sources.  Are you using vanilla-sources and it compiles?

Where do you see that driver?  I'm giving vanilla-sources-2.6.24-rc6 a
try and I don't see it.

I can't believe it but this is now working with the rt2x00 driver
built into 2.6.24.  The rt2x00 ebuild still won't compile for me
though.

I've got a Hawking HWUG1 that has always worked fine with the
rt73 driver.
