Description:
Setup of sitecom WL-345 wireless usb device fails with "Error - Invalid RT chipset detected". From what i can tell my kernel should support this device using modules from rt2x00 (rt2800usb and others..). I believe my chip-set is rt2870, the windows drivers suggest this and i've read a few posts that seem to agree. So im not sure why this is failing. From the error messages its possible to work out where the problem originates(rt2800usb.c) but im not going to get any further. I'm might be wrong but wondered if this patch would help, maybe my device is reporting a different chip-set.. http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/58849/ Additional info: * package version(s) kernel26 2.6.32.9-1 * config and/or log files etc. Mar 17 21:38:48 BobDesk kernel: usb 1-3: USB disconnect, address 6 Mar 17 21:38:52 BobDesk kernel: usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 Mar 17 21:38:52 BobDesk kernel: usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Mar 17 21:38:52 BobDesk kernel: phy1 -> rt2800usb_init_eeprom: Error - Invalid RT chipset detected.

Additional comments about closing: Driver for rt3071 is not expected to be in 2.6.33/2.6.34, use compat-wireless to get it working.

The patch mentioned though is not a solution. I upgraded in the meantime to 2.6.33.2 kernel where they did change the piece of code mentioned in the patch but I still get the error message 'Invalid RT chipset detected'
Unfortunately nobody reacts there anymore : bottom line (for my case) the opens source driver does not work with my dongle. In fact it is not an rt2870 device but an rt3071 device. I must admit that the more recent version of rt2x00 (compiled via compat-wireless) does not give the error anymore but gets stuck furher down the road. I succeeded though in installing the ralink driver succesfully (after a few tweeks) and I am a happy man ever since :)
