Hi!
I have successfully installed openwrt to my asus 500gp router.
I need to setup another wifi interface. My usb wifi card is a ralink device (rt2570 module).
I have found the module source on openwrt sources directory but I need a minimal howto to compile it.
Is anybody have compiled this module?
Is anybody use external usb wifi module on this system?
thx for your answers!
OK, I have done it.
I got the openwrt sources and compile it.
The compile process downloaded and compiled the kernel.
When I changed the kernel path to openwrt kernel in the ralink driver's Makefile,
it compiled successfully.
hi pasztorl,
I am using the Kernel 2.6.19.2, for WL-500B. I would like to add my USB card WUSB54G support too. And compile driver rt2570-1.1.0-b2.tar.gz using below command:
make module KERNDIR=/home/alex/work2/openwrt/kamikaze/trunk/build_mipsel/linux-2.6-brcm47xx/linux-2.6.19.2 \
PATCHLEVEL=6 \
CC=/home/alex/work2/openwrt/kamikaze/trunk/staging_dir_mipsel/bin/mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc \
LD=/home/alex/work2/openwrt/kamikaze/trunk/staging_dir_mipsel/bin/mipsel-linux-uclibc-ld
And then got an errror like this,
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/alex/work2/openwrt/kamikaze/trunk/build_mipsel/linux-2.6-brcm47xx/linux-2.6.19.2'
CC [M] /home/alex/work2/openwrt/kamikaze/mypackages/rt2570-1.1.0-b2/Module/rtusb_main.o
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-maccumulate-outgoing-args"

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alex/work2/openwrt/kamikaze/trunk/build_mipsel/linux-2.6-brcm47xx/linux-2.6.19.2'
rt2570.ko failed to build!
Looks like CFLAGS is wrong.
May I ask you some questions?
1) Which version kernel do you use?
2) Could you please give me a minihowto?
3) Can anybody help me to solve this issue?
Thanks
Alex
OK, I got the way to build it.
1) Go to the folder trunk/package/rt2570
2) Modify the line
DEPENDS:=@LINUX_2_4 @USB_SUPPORT +wireless-tools
TO:
DEPENDS:=@LINUX_2_6 @USB_SUPPORT +wireless-tools
3) make menuconfig, will find an option in Kernel Module --> Wireless Drivers --> <M> Kmod-rt2570
4) make package/rt2570-compile V=99
late, I will test if It can work on my router.
The discussion might have continued from here.
