Hi i have a tenda W322u usb wireless adaptor that makes use of the rt3070 driver. The kernel version i am using is 2.6.32-21-generic. Is this driver automatically supported in this version of the kernel or do i have to download and install the driver.

I have had a number of issues getting the adaptor to work. Basically it was going using device wlan0 but performance wasnt great and then is just stopped so i thought it was an issue with the driver. So downloaded and installed the driver from RAlink and got it going under ra0 but performance was very poor. Now after several other attempts to sort the problem i now have no wireless at all. I have probably just compounded my errors in attempting to get it to work. So if anybody can help with this that would be great.

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers.

Hello,

I have a blog regarding a somewhat similar issue. I actually advise you to check it out, maybe you can do what I did for my Alfa awus036nh device. Overall, I used wireless-compat, patched the chan.c file for monitor mode/injection, and compiled. Works without a hitch

Hi, and thanks for the reply. I actually managed to get it going again by reversing everything i had done, un-installing drivers etc so now i am back to where i was before i started mucking around with it. However although it works the performance is pretty poor (how do i go about improving it) so i will definitely have a look at your blog.

Cheers.

Oh ok. Well let me know man if you do decide to go that route.
