Description (last modified by diver)

Ralink RT5370 adapter (Tenda W311Ma) doesn't work for me in Haiku nightly hrev51774. After connecting the adapter to my PC it does not detect automatically. When I executing

ifconfig -a

from the terminal, there are only ethernet and loobback devices:

In listdev my adapter is not listed:

But in listusb it is listed correctly:

This adapter also is supported in FreeBSD by the "run" driver: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=run&apropos=0&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+9.3-stable&arch=default&format=html and it was included in that since 8.1 release: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open-source_wireless_drivers#FreeBSD And there is 3rdparty port probably of this driver for Haiku, which supports the same chipsets as that driver (rt2870 and rt3070, rt5370 is listed in FreeBSD list too): https://github.com/jackburton79/haiku_ralink_usb I tried to compile and install it from that sources by make and make install commands, previously worte to makefile

DRIVER_PATH = net/

and

INSTALL_DIR = /boot/system/non-packaged/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin

Also I made a symlink on it in /dev/net. But after installing the driver and reboot there is the same situation. When I try to up /dev/net/ralink_usb/0 by ifconfig, there is an error "no such device". So is it possible to get working this driver in Haiku?

My guess is that haiku_ralink_usb is incomplete.
