USB Wifi Adapter with Karmic Problem

Hi all

I am using karmic kernel 2.6.32.9-x9.1 on my beagleboard (Rev C3)
using 4G SD card.

sudo ./rootstock --fqdn beagleboard --login ubuntu --password temppwd
--imagesize 4G --dist karmic \
--serial ttyS2 --seed xfce4,gdm,xubuntu-gdm-theme,xubuntu-
artwork,vlc,linux-firmware,wireless-tools \
--kernel-image http://rcn-ee.net/deb/kernel/beagle/karmic/v2.6.32.9-x9.1/linux-image-2.6.32.9-x9.1_1.0karmic_armel.deb

While booting up, I saw the error messages as below but it just
continued as per normal. Is there anything wrong?

[ 1984.843200] Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch
(0x1018) at 0x4033f000
[ 1985.353576] Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch

[ 1986.266754] Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch
(0x1018) at 0x4033f000

And I am trying to use TL-WN321G usb wifi adapter but everytime I plug
the device in, I receive the following error message.

[ 2069.147033] phy0 -> rt2500usb_init_eeprom: Error - Invalid RT
chipset detected.
[ 2069.162475] phy0 -> rt2x00lib_probe_dev: Error - Failed to allocate
device.

So I went to the manufacturer's website to download the latest
firmware for Linux and tried to compile the driver by following the
README file that came with the package. But I am stuck now due to the
error message "No rule to make target 'for'. Stop." when I gave
command "make all".

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

Appreciate all your kind help.

Regards
Terrence

Hello,

These are safe to ignore...

These ralink devices have an interesting situation..

ralink has a gpl driver for each chipset, and each module company
posts a linux driver based on some random version of that on their
website... These drivers are in the staging section of the kernel.
At the same time, the rt2x00 group http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com , is
working on a 'real' driver for all ralink devices partially based on
ralinks gpl code..

Does this work with 2.6.33?

Otherwise the chipset detection was just recently changed for
2.6.34-rc1 (which should be out early next week)...
