The problem remains. I have two cards: rt3070 and rt3071, their respective VIDs are 148f:3070 and 148f:3071. They are both undetected. Just tried "compat-wireless-2010-04-21.tar.bz2" with enabled "CONFIG_RT2800PCI_RT30XX=y" in config.mk - no go.

The rt2800usb does not pick the VIDs, here is the log from modinfo rt2800usb:

alias:          usb:v07B8p2870d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*

no "3070" or "3071" at all.

The closest to my VIDs are these here:
alias:          usb:v148Fp2870d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*
alias:          usb:v148Fp2770d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*

So basically the driver only works if I manually add them to code above. Config.mk doesn't seem to change anything.

The problem as I recall first occurred in late January or some time in February when  someone decided to remove large portion of the VIDs from the code because of driver collisions and I suppose the purpose of it was to reshuffle VID tables and insert some sort of order. Since then, compat-wireless does not automatically provide drivers for the rt307x via rt2800usb. To this point, only manual modification and inserting of the VIDs above solves the problem.

I'm a 100% certain of this. Even if your cards have different VIDs /not 148f:3070/, just install compat-wireless with enabled rt307X support and see if "modinfo rt2800usb |grep 3070" returns something. Then you'll be able to verify my reports.

Walter.
