But we have selected gnome as an example:ĥ. Let’s just make sure everything is up to date:Ħ. Next lets install the network manager: Usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2800usbĬool, it’s now been installed! Now we need to install a network manager to get on-line! There's a variation of network managers to choose from. Registered led device: rt2800usb-phy0::quality Registered led device: rt2800usb-phy0::assoc Registered led device: rt2800usb-phy0::radio Ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel_ht' Usb 1-1.3: reset high speed USB device number 5 using dwc_otg Usb 1-1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3Ĭfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain Usb 1-1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=148f, idProduct=3070 Usb 1-1.3: new high speed USB device number 5 using dwc_otg This will check the system log, and the most recent log should be the successful installation of the wifi dongle: RT2870/RT3070 Wireless AdapterĤ. As a double check, we can check the system log to see if it's registered the dongle. This should reveal a list of the installed usb devices, including the dongle:īus 001 Device 005: ID 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp.

We can now install the Ralink drivers.Ĭhange the directory to where we want the drivers to go:ģ. OK so we've installed the drivers, plug the dongle into a spare port on the USB hub and we'll query it with the lsusb command: If this is not the case, you've really buggered something up (or you're super smart). Like most wireless dongles, the Tenda adaptor requires more power than the Pi USB ports can provide, so it will need to be plugged into a powered hub.Īlso, make sure that you are connected to the internet via a LAN cable.ġ. Firstly, we need to check that the OS we are using has a 'non-free' component: Requirements: Make sure you have a decent power supply for the Pi (we use 2000mA adaptors to stop any low power cut-outs), in addition to a USB hub. This guide will give a step by step overview of how to install the Tenda W311U MiniWireless USB Adaptor. This install guide was completed on the latest stable release of Debian Squeeze, but it should work on later releases, such as Wheezy.
