To All,

I'm TYRING TO CREATE a wireless driver for an Ralink 3290 card. The card is installed in a HP Envy Desktop,
with Centos 6.5 loaded. I have the i5-4430 CPU @ 3.00GHz chipset in my cpu. Reading the file that I downloaded from Ralink I have some questions:



In Makefile
set the "MODE = STA" in Makefile and chose the TARGET to Linux by set "TARGET = LINUX"
define the linux kernel source include file path LINUX_SRC
modify to meet your need.

Question 1 = the MODE = STA was already set as well as the TARGET = LINUX. i am assuming I don't need to change anything in this part?



In os/linux/config.mk
define the GCC and LD of the target machine
define the compiler flags CFLAGS
modify to meet your need.

Question 2 = what is the GCC and the LD?
2b = how do i define the computer flags?
3c = how do i modify them to meet my needs?


Thank you for your help.

Just run 'make' and then 'make install' as root. If it doesn't work post the error. All of the variables should already be set up.

This is the general way and should work on yours.

I agree with metaschima that if you have gcc or some compiler installed and the supporting other files you just run the makefile instead of editing it.

This all assumes you don't have some support for it already. Might as well see this too. http://rricketts.com/installing-rali...-ubuntu-12-04/

jefro,
Do you know how I can get the " Vendorevice ID string"? I am pretty sure i have the Ralink 3290, but WANT TO CONFIRM I DO.
