Hi, I'm using BBB and I tried to install and use Android 4.2.2 with USB Wi-Fi dongle, but my dongle is not working under Android.

My dongle's maker is Logitec and its chip is Ralink RT2870.

For this Challenge, I followed these 3 sites.

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI-Android-JB-4.2.2-DevKit-4.1.1_DeveloperGuide

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI-Android-JB-4.2.2-DevKit-4.1.1_PortingGuide

http://nelenkov.blogspot.jp/2013/07/building-wireless-android-device.html

First, I followed the Developer Guide and I have done from section 1.2 (Host PC Setup) to section 1.6 (Flashing to SD). Then My BBB undrer Android was working , but I cannot use USB Wi-Fi dongle, of cause.

Second, I followed the WLAN section of Porting Guide and nelencov's past work, and I recognized that I should change some setting files.

I show the list of my changing as below.

- menuconfig

-- Ralink Support and rt2x00usb Device Support were choosed.

--- then, cfg80211.ko, mac80211.ko, rt2x00lib.ko, rt2x00usb.ko, rt2800lib.ko and rt2800usb.ko are made.

And I downloaded the firmware(rt2870.bin) from Ralink website, and add it to SD's dir(/system/etc/firmware/).

But my Wi-Fi dongle didn't work and outputted below error messages.

I thought these errors occured because of lacking firmware, but I put the firmware on /system/etc/firmware, so I cannnot solve this problem...

So, if someone successed to working this type of Wi-Fi dongle, please mention about this trouble.
