Wifi issue (rt2780)

I have a wifi usb antenna (rt2780) and my router is far from the computer (30%~45% range). I can use it without big problems in Fedora 16 and Mint 13 but Slitaz 4.0 can't find my network most of the time.

Any tips?

I have a D-Link DWA-140 Draft N. The wifibox shows all the neighbors' networks.

Re: Wifi issue (rt2780)

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 07d1:3c09 => http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/RT2870.html => rt2870sta

rt2800usb is loaded and conflicts with rt2870sta on  Slitaz-4.0  2.6.37 kernel

Stop networking:

[c]# /etc/init.d/network.sh stop[/c]

Unload both wireless modules:

[c]# modprobe -r rt2800usb[/c]

[c]# modprobe -r rt2870sta[/c]

Load the correct module:

[c]# modprobe rt2870sta[/c]

Start networking:

[c]# /etc/init.d/network.sh start[/c]
