Pandora keeps disconnecting from wifi

They all ended up with variations of:


prism54usb: probe of 1-2.1:1.0 failed with error -110


I also tried http://daemonizer.de/prism54/prism54-fw/fw-usb/2.5.6.0.arm and http://daemonizer.de/prism54/prism54-fw/fw-usb/2.5.2.0.arm with no luck.


This is what lsusb says about the stick if it helps:


Bus 001 Device 005: ID 050d:7050 Belkin Components F5D7050 ver 1000 WiFi

if you have a windows box, with the driver for that stick. you could try extracting the firmware from it.


http://lekernel.net/prism54/misc.html


download fwextract and extract it from your windows driver, then try this file (rename same as the others, then replug).

 

[Jey123456]

or you could try http://jbnote.free.fr/prism54usb/data/firmwares/p54u_2.5.6.0.arm


but this one need to be named isl3890usb

A quick update, I went to have a look at the windows driver on belkin's website and according to http://www.belkin.com/support/ab/d/ I have a v2 (FCC ID: K7SF5D7050A), which IIRC has a different chip?

 

[Jey123456]

yep.... totally >< lol. v1 is prism54, v2 is RT2500.


i got the RT2500 source at hand, give me a few mins ill build it.

 

[Jey123456]

here you go, insmod that, and replug your stick (tho the fact that lsusb see it as v1 scare me a bit.)

Yes it's working , thanks Jey, only problem now is apparently it doesn't support WPA so I can't connect to my router


Will this be a driver thing or something else? if you happen to know

 

[Jey123456]

mmm, software wpa should work, tho im not that knowledgeable on that side.


you can try the command line version for wpa connections. wpa_supplicant , there is a bunch of doc on the web about it, but in a nutshell


sudo wpa_passphrase ssid pass > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf


sudo wpa_supplicant -ira0 -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf


should at the very least, tell you for sure that you cant or can . if it connect, it wont necerarilly set the dhcp, you will need to set your ip/route/resolv manually, or run


sudo dhclient ra0


ra0 should be your wireless connection name, if its not replace it in the commands by whichever it is for you.
