>  Linksys By Cisco WUSB600N v2 Doesn't Work

> Bug description:
>  I have a  "Linksys By Cisco" brand WUSB600N v2. Its USB ID is
>  1737:0079 Rev. 0101
>
>  When the USB adapter is hotplugged (or even coldplugged) the USB bus
>  recognizes that "something" has been plugged in, but no additional
>  modules are loaded at all. The output of `lsmod' before and after hot
>  insertion is identical. So no modules claim they support this card.
>
>  The original of this model, WUSB600N, is supposedly an
>  rt2870-compatible chip. I am not sure whether "v2" is an entirely
>  different chipset, or whether it's just rt2870 with a quirk. I tried
>  manually adding the USB ID to the rt2870sta source code and rebuilding
>  the driver, but doing so gave me a kernel oops within that module. So
>  apparently the fix to get it supported isn't as simple as adding that
>  one line. But at least rt2870 seems to be partially aware of the chip
>  -- right after the oops I ran `ifconfig' and the interface was up and
>  I could get its MAC address (and it was correct). But since the module
>  oopsed, I was unable to send any commands to the wireless interface
>  via NetworkManager, iwconfig, etc.
>
>  I'm not sure how fervently upstream tries to support manufacturers who
>  buy the rt2870 chipset and put it in their own product. If Ralink is
>  nice enough to patch their drivers for the quirks of other vendors'
>  products (such as Linksys) then it's just a matter of waiting. But if
>  the action is in Linksys' court, I'm not sure they would help us at
>  all. I think we will need a volunteer kernel hacker to take a look at
>  it and see if the fix is reasonably easy.
>
>  Since these wireless USB adapters are relatively inexpensive, I am
>  willing to donate one to a single competent individual who believes
>  he/she can get this working well. All I ask in return is that you get
>  it working, and return it to me when you are done with it (shipping at
>  my expense)... unless of course you break it, which is understandable.
>  Fragile little device.

>  NB: I've tested this thoroughly on both Jaunty and Karmic. In Karmic,
>  we have the rt2800usb driver as part of the open source rt2x00 project
>  (now entering mainline); but the new set of rt2* drivers still fail to
>  automatically probe this card. I applied my patch to the rt2870sta
>  driver downloaded from Ralink's website and built that on Jaunty, but
>  did not test my naive patch against the Karmic kernel sources, as I
>  expected the same result.
>
>  UPDATE: I think the future of Ralink chipsets on Linux is the rt2x00
>  project, as they are moving at a faster pace than rt2870sta and they
>  are integrated into mainline. Their wifi drivers are first class
>  citizens, with a behavior just like you'd expect from, say, iwlwifi:
>  NetworkManager can use them; WPA2 works without a custom supplicant;
>  no proprietary daemons; etc. Not sure how much code rt2x00 shares with
>  rt2870sta (if any), but hopefully this project will pick up support
>  for 1737:0079 soon.
