wget
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/rt2400/rt2570-1.1.0-b2.tar.gz?download

Preparation
If not installed already, these packages need to be installed.

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` gcc-3.4

At the time this was written driver was rt2570-1.1.0-b1. If driver is
updated commands will need to change to that file name.


Step 1 Download and untar file

Get file
Go here and choose the rt2570beta driver. You'll get a choice of mirrors where to download from. Save it to file.

Now copy the file to /usr/src
Code:

sudo cp /path/to/file/rt2570-1.1.0-b1.tar.gz /usr/src/

Move to /usr/src
Code:

cd /usr/src

Untar file
Code:

sudo tar -xzvf rt2570-1.1.0-b1.tar.gz

Move into file
Code:

cd rt2570-1.1.0b1/Module

Step 2 Make and install file

Code:

sudo make

Code:

sudo make install

Step 3 Set up and load module

make a directory for the .ko file
Code:

sudo mkdir /lib/modules/`uname -r`/drivers/

copy file over to new directory
Code:

sudo cp /lib/modules/2.6.12/extra/rt2570.ko /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/drivers/

Then insert module into kernel
Code:

sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/drivers/rt2570.ko

Code:

sudo lsmod -a

Configure your wireless device through /etc/network/interfaces. Here is
a sample file.

iface rausb0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid apname
wireless-key xxxxxxxxx
wireless-mode Managed
auto rausb0

restart the networking service

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart


Now try to bring up your device

Code:

sudo ifconfig rausb0 up

To load module at boot add it to /etc/modules file

Code:

sudo echo rt2570 >> /etc/modules
