I've been trying to get my wusb600n wireless usb adapter working for some time now and this is the error I'm getting. Has anyone else gotten this working in Slackware if so a little help appreciated.
/opt/ndiswrapper/wusb600n# dmesg |grep ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper version 1.55 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)
ndiswrapper (import:242): unknown symbol: ntoskrnl.exe:'RtlExtendedIntegerMultiply'
ndiswrapper (import:242): unknown symbol: ntoskrnl.exe:'MmGetSystemRoutineAddress'
ndiswrapper (load_sys_files:206): couldn't prepare driver 'rt2870'
ndiswrapper (load_wrap_driver:108): couldn't load driver rt2870; check system log for messages from 'loadndisdriver'
usbcore: registered new interface driver ndiswrapper
If all else fails you could upgrade to kernel 2.6.31, which includes a driver for the rt2870 chip. I'm using the rt61pci driver from the kernel and it seems OK.
I did download the linux driver first, but I don't know how to configure the install. I haven't been using Linux for more than two months so I'm still new to most things. I'm pretty sure I got stuck on the SRC= path or something like that.
The driver included in 2.6.31 works well with rt2870.
Here's good instructions on building the kernel yourself, I guess you can skip the 'make initrd'-part of it. http://alien.slackbook.org/dokuwiki/...%5B%5D=compile
You can find the driver you're looking for from Device Drivers->Network device support->Wireless LAN->Ralink driver support->Ralink rt2800 (USB) support.
