dlink dwa-140 not working properly with solo 2

During last weekend I've spent some times around wireless support and I've discovered a bug.
I've already fixed it and I can post here that the DWA-140 problem you mention is part of the bug.
To solve it prior to the next image you should connect via telnet or SSH to your box and issue a simple command:

Code:
opkg remove kernel-module-rt2800usb --force-depends

In the next Image (or Revision) the rt2800usb driver will be drammatically reduced and reconfigured to be invoked only with specified devices and not for other wifi sticks governed by chipset vendor driver that are included into BH images.

I've tested the above command with my Vu+Uno and a DWA-140 B2 FW 1.31.
Initially the device will be detected as rt2800usb device and doesen't work properly (variable speed and other problems with my wireless router)
After launch the command, I've reconfigured my box and now my DWA device works as expected (270Mbit/s) and uses the properly driver.

I would like to remember that this modification will be included in the next Image / Revision.




angelofsky in the new image 2.0.4 you have forgotten include the modification..? or the 2800 driver has fixed? thanks in advance..i say you this because i see 2800 detected other time and not rt5370...

I should verify.

Update: I've verified and the fix it's included since 2013-05-19.
I've the same stick and I will verify with the same box you have.

sorry i could do it... but i have introduced the telnet command before verify the 2800 driver because i thought you forgot include the modification...

regards.

Fix is included because when I've downgraded drivers some months ago, I've committed immediately the modifications to BH Coder to avoid avoid future problems.
What is your box?

Hi, I have the same mod key D-Link DWA-140 (rev B2), but can not connect to Wifi network and send in the Vu + Duo. Use image Black Hole vers. 2.0.6 rev. B

I tried to configure the decoder 's WLAN interface is in DHCP or static ip, but do not solve the problem, by testing network in the decoder Wirelles the network is disconnected, as if the wifi is connects then disconnects with a bang!

Do you know by any chance which vers. drivers have come to the DWA-140? because I just updated them but I only found the vers. 3.1.2.0 but I think I saw on the net that there is a vers. next ... the 3.1.8.0 for the key in question.

This may be the key drivers or other?

thanks
