[ubuntu] RT5370 or RT3572 compat wireless drivers Access Point mode

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi all, I have two USB sticks one with Ralink RT5370 chip and the other with RT3572 chip. I want to make them work in the access point mode. Unfortunately the drivers from the Ralink site do not support the Access Point mode. I read somewhere that the compat wireless modules have the support for access point mode for the Ralink drivers. So I downloaded the latest compat wireless package. But when I do ./scripts/driver-select Ralink drivers for the chips I mentioned are not listed there. My kernel version is 2.6.38. Does anybody have any experience in compat wireless with these chips. Als (Hardware)

I have a Trim-Slice Value using Ubuntu 11.04. It comes with a Ralink RT5370 802.11n WiFi dongle.

When I plug the dongle in, it does not 'just work'; ifconfig and iwconfig do not show the device, though lsusb does show the device listed:

phrogz@trimslice:~$ lsusb | grep Ralink Bus 001 Device 004: ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp.

Hi All

I have a Mac Book Air which is running 12.04

The onboard wifi card is a BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n which means either the closed source WL drivers or the open source B43.

I have the need to use the card with injection mode for wireless testing so the B43 is the answer however I have found it to be unstable with my wireless N network and the WL module performs much better.
