Greetings, I would like to report a bug to you. The same problem was reported to OpenWRT developers. But, they suggest me report it to linux wireless. Problem: The wireless card can not be recognized. But, an iface with wrong MAC is created. wlan1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:06:4E:E8:00:00<== Wrong MAC, the correct MAC is E8:4E:06:00:74:61. Looks like byte-swapped. UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1<=== Not running RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) After making changes according to https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=30132, the card can now be recognized with correct MAC and can be operated. But, it does not work yet. No RX in AP mode. No TX& RX in STA mode. I guess the TX in AP mode is meaningless. Wifi Card: Unknown brand, RT3070 chipset, USB Platform: Openwrt (MIPS, BCM6358, big-endian) Kernel: root@OpenWrt:~# uname -a Linux OpenWrt 2.6.39.4 #1 Mon Aug 22 04:57:19 MST 2011 mips GNU/Linux driver: mac80211 compat-wireless driver. kmod-rt2800-lib - 2.6.39.4+2011-08-10-2 kmod-rt2800-usb - 2.6.39.4+2011-08-10-2 kmod-rt2x00-lib - 2.6.39.4+2011-08-10-2 kmod-rt2x00-usb - 2.6.39.4+2011-08-10-2
Obviously, that driver fails to work on a big-endian platform. For tracking purposes, please open a bug report at bugzilla.kernel.org. That will also be a location for exchanging trial patches.
I have an RT3090 USB device and a MacBook G4 that uses the PPC processor, thus I have a test bed for investigating this problem.
