WL-227N_ABAND Hardware & Driver Reference
DRIvER INSTALLATION
Driver installation for Linux
1. Insert USB flash disk & WL-227N_ABAND NIC before booting
2. Boot Linux system and login
3. Create path [Wireless]:
mkdir /etc/Wireless
4. Mount USB Hard Disk:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
5. Copy tar file to Linux from USB Hard Disk:
cp /mnt/2008_0812_RT2880_iNIC_v1.1.8.0.tar.bz2 /etc/Wireless/
6. Decompress tar file to /etc/Wireless/, and it will generate a directory
[2008_0812_RT2880_iNIC_v1.1.8.0]:
tar -jxvf /etc/Wireless/2008_0812_RT2880_iNIC_v1.1.8.0.tar.bz2
7. Rename directory [2008_0812_RT2880_iNIC_v1.1.8.0] to [RT2880], in other
words, the driver’s path was /etc/Wireless/RT2880 (default path in Ralink
manual):
mv 2008_0812_RT2880_iNIC_v1.1.8.0 RT2880
8. Now, we can complier driver (basic function):
a. Enter [RT2880] directory:
cd RT2880
b. Rename [module-1.1.8.0] to [module]:
mv module-1.1.8.0 module
c. Enter [/etc/Wireless/RT2880/module] directory:
cd module
d. Complier driver:
make
After make, it will generate five files:
Module.sysmvers
rt2880_iNIC.ko
rt2880_iNIC.mod.c
rt2880_iNIC.mod.o
rt2880_iNIC.o
e. Copy iNIC_sta.bin and iNIC_sta_dat to [/etc/Wireless/RT2880/] from
[/etc/Wireless/RT2880/firmware/]:
• Enter [/etc/Wireless/RT2880/firmware/]:
cd firmware
• Copy
iNIC_sta.bin
and
iNIC_sta_dat
to [/etc/Wireless/RT2880/] from
[/etc/Wireless/RT2880/firmware/]:
cp iNIC_sta.* ../../
