[Vlad Smolovik]

Guys,
is there any way to get working ralikn 2870 isb wifi dongle in android with cubieboard?

thx, Vlad.

Seems there are at least two drivers for that chipset in current staging kernel.

You probably want an android build with rt2x00 or rtxx7x enabled.

I guess rt2x00, but correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you, Vlad.

If anybody can build it for my, with portrait orientation enabled, I appreciate this.

Build kernel and android from SDK 1.05.
wi-fi chipset Rt3072. usb2x00usb

It start from GUI settings, but it on/off all time.

Hi

Maybe you forget to add a firmware for your card. Check http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_downloads/01_windows.php?sn=501 or search in google (there is a lot of places with firmware for rt2870).

I have not forgotten about the firmware. Without firmware did not work at all.
LED on the lights up and blinks wifi.
