I'm happy to confirm your method. I was trying a couple of different ways to compile the module, but none worked; when I tried out wicd (after uninstalling the gnome network manager) I saw, my USB Stick is being recognized though (ie, the module worked!), but I couldn't connect. This reminded me, that wpa_supplicant wasn't enabled in my /os/linux/config.mk as you described file
I first had troubles doing the build process on Intrepid. As I have a Buffalo WLI-UC-G300N USB Wireless Adaptor (Ralink 2870, usb ), I followed a short how-to on a Japanese Blog. Moving the extracted driver files to /usr/src/ solved the problems building it (plus #sudo make).
Further, I added the Device number from the lsusb output: "Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0411:00e8 MelCo., Inc." as line ca 186 in /include/rt2870.h
Code:
{USB_DEVICE(0x0411,0x00e8)}, /* Buffalo */ \
That's it, now I have a connection - however, it shows only 1 Mb/s.... Basestation is a fritz!box fon 7270 with wlan n switched on (as well as g)
Any ideas about the connection speed improvements? My Reception is between 96-100%....
Thanks anyway
Nick
Edit: my speed is now shown as 108 Mbit/s in the base station, as 243 Mbit/s in the network manager info dialog; seems to be perfect!
