I simply uninstalled the driver from my comp. After trying everything under the sun, I decided I would bite the bullet and I tried something a little unorthodox.

Driver update after driver update, no luck. I use my computer on the top level of my house, and the router is at the basement. As soon as I moved further away from the router, I experienced constant drop outs, and the connection would always flounder between low signal strength, to completely disconnecting itself from the router, where I had to manually re-connect it. Out of the box, my comp was working fine and it connected to the network OK. I have an HP Envy fortunate enough to be equipped with a Ralink RT3290, running windows 8. I'm not sure if this will be a complete fix for you, but I've been wresting with my network adapter for months and this has proven to be the most effective for my computer.

Any thoughts on this? # modprobe rt2800usb.ko Here is what I am seeing when booting the board and trying to get Wifi. How can I get the BeagleBoard to realize the USB dongle using Buildroot and how can I load those Ralink drivers? Thanks in advance.ĮDIT - I've enabled USB controller support in the kernel but still cannot load the driver I enabled for raylink from Device Drivers > Network Device Support > Wireless LAN > Raylink Driver Support from the Linux 3.3 Kernel menuconfig.

I've tried to follow these following links as examples but they seem to be focused on using a full-blown distribution like Angstrom or Ubuntu and I want to build a custom kernel with Buildroot: : Under 'Hardware Control', I selected linux-firmware and Ralink 30XX driver support. I have configured Buildroot with udev, wifi-tools, usbutils, usbmount, libusb, and wpa_supplicant. When I boot my BeagleBoard after building the system with Buildroot I cannot seem to get the board to recognize the USB wifi dongle, let alone use it.

I purchased a Ralink wifi USB dongle and have verified that both Windows 7 and Ubuntu can recognize and use the dongle. I'm developing on an Ubuntu 10.04 VM on a Windows 7 host machine. I have a BeagleBoard Rev C5 and I am using Buildroot to make a simple custom Linux system.
