Hello, i am trying to get my USB wifi dongle (based on ralink 2870 chipset) working. i built the driver using the source. modified Makefile to add kernel source and cross compiler and os/linux/config.mk to include header files. so when i load the module , it loads and i can see the device when i use "iwconfig" but when i try to bring it up "ifconfig wlan0 up" it fails with following error on dmesg [ 126.940000] phy0 -> rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Info - Loading firmware file 'rt2870.bin'. [ 126.940000] rt2800usb 1-1.2:1.0: firmware: requesting rt2870.bin [ 126.940000] PM: Adding info for No Bus:1-1.2:1.0 [ 186.940000] PM: Removing info for No Bus:1-1.2:1.0 [ 186.940000] phy0 -> rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error - Failed to request Firmware. # i have got the rt2870.bin file located in /lib/firmware but i think driver cannot find it.. how do i solve this?
