Hi everybody,

I have installed the latest Barrier Breaker RC3 on my Raspberry Pi (Model B) with USB WIFI dongle (Ralink 5370 chipset). Previously using Raspbian I could use the dongle by loading the rt2800usb drivers without any problem.

Now for OpenWRT I installed the rt2800 kernel mods (+ dependencies) and it will recognize the stick just fine. When it generates the /etc/config/wireless, the file will look like this:

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option channel '11'
        option hwmode '11g'
        option path 'platform/bcm2708_usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2:1.0'
        option htmode 'HT20'
        option txpower '20'
        option country 'DE'

config wifi-iface
        option device 'radio0'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'OpenWRT'
        option key 'mypass'
        option network 'lan'
        option encryption 'none'

Using the Luci web interface I can see the "Generic MAC80211 802.11bgn (radio0)" is enabled and I can configure it.

However it reports signal strength of 0% and "?" for the bitrate. Also the network can't be seen on any nearby device.

I tried to manually start hostapd to see if any errors are printed on startup, but it starts just fine.

My guess is it's probably a driver issue, anybody got any ideas?

Thanks

I have the same issue. My dongle is rt2800 (AusPi)
On BB Final not RC3

I am having the same problem? whats the solution for it?

Ich login to my OperWrt and type "wifi". But it will happen again.
