Como configurar una red WIFI USB con chip rt73 en AZBOX HD ELITE.

Como configurar una red WIFI USB con chip rt73 en AZBOX HD ELITE.

Atencion: Recomiendo copiar los ficheros en el azbox y con los comandos: dmesg, ifconfig y iwconfig hacer pruebas y configurar el wifi y probar que funciona antes de dejarlo "definitivo" en el azbox.

Archivos necesarios:

rt73.bin --> Firmware del USB WIFI
rt73sta.dat --> Archivo de configuracion wireless. En este archivo hay que poner la configuracion de nuestra red wifi. SSID, Channel, WEP, etc. (Al final pongo las opciones de configuracion (en ingles))
rt73.ko --> Driver como modulo del kernel

Estos 3 ficheros se tienen que copiar a /DISK2/etc/Wireless

Configuracion para que no se borre al actualizar el firmware (falta por probar)

Me he fijado en como carga el azbox la configuracion del eth0 y la he intentado "calcar" para el wifi.

Al carga el modulo rt73 nos crea un nuevo interface llamado: rausb0

Ficheros a modificar:

/DISK2/interfaces

Añadir al final:


Marca

auto rausb0
iface rausb0 inet dhcp
pre-up /DISK2/pre-up.rausb0
Con esto conseguimos 2 cosas, que configure automaticamente el interface rausb0 por dhcp y que ademas nos carge (ejecute) el fichero pre-up.rausb0 (que lo he copiado del que viene pre-up.ra0)

En caso de que tengamos una IP Fija para el Wifi añadiriamos al final del fichero interfaces lo siguiente:


Marca

auto rausb0
iface rausb0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
pre-up /DISK2/pre-up.rausb0


OJO: Sustituir las IP 192.168.1.x y la mascara por las correctas de nuestra red WIFI.

/DISK2/pre-up.rausb0


Marca

#!/bin/sh

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib:/MMP/usr/lib

echo ">> pre-up.rausb0 start..."

ifdown rausb0
sleep 1

ln -s /DISK2/etc/Wireless/rt73.bin /etc/rt73.bin
ln -s /DISK2/etc/Wireless/rt73sta.dat /etc/rt73sta.dat
insmod /DISK2/etc/Wireless/rt73.ko
sleep 1
ifconfig rausb0 up
sleep 1
echo ">> pre-up end..."
Como podeis ver lo que hace es unos links de los ficheros al directorio /etc que es donde los busca el driver

La linea insmod que carga el driver y el comando "ifconfig rausb0 up" que "levanta" y configura la interface WIFI leyendo los datos del fichero interface.

Creo que no se me olvida nada.

Reboot y a probar.
