DISCLAIMER:
If you try any methods used on this guide you do so at your own risk.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1. Configuring a Ralink 802.11n USB wireless network adapter
First, configure rt2800usb kernel module to support Ralink 802.11n USB wireless network adapter.
Make sure the firmware files rt2870.bin have been installed on your system correctly:
| Code: |
| $ ls /lib/firmware/rt3* /lib/firmware/rt2561.bin /lib/firmware/rt2860.bin /lib/firmware/rt3090.bin /lib/firmware/rt2561s.bin /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin /lib/firmware/rt3290.bin /lib/firmware/rt2661.bin /lib/firmware/rt3070.bin /lib/firmware/rt73.bin |
After plugging your wireless network adapter to your system, and then get the device information:
| Code: |
| $ lsusb Bus 001 Device 004: ID 2019:ed14 PLANEX GW-USMicroN |
And type the following:
| Code: |
| $ ifconfig | grep wlan; lsmod | grep rt2800usb |
Can you see both wlan0 and rt2800usb in the output?
If yes, go to the Step 2 .
If no, you need to configure your wireless network adapter to work properly.
Create a new file to have your system automatically detect your wireless network adapter. For example,
| Code: |
| $ sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/gw-usmicron.conf |
and then add as one line the following:
| Code: |
| install rt2800usb /sbin/modprobe —ignore-install rt2800usb; /bin/echo «2019 ed14» > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2800usb/new_id |
In the above, you need to type model name, vendor ID and productID of your wireless network adapter.
Edit a file /etc/modules to have your system automatically load rt2800usb kernel module at boot time,
| Code: |
| $ sudo nano /etc/modules |
and add at the end of file:
| Code: |
| rt2800usb |
Save and close the file. And then reboot your system.
| Code: |
| $ sudo shutdown -r now |
After restarting your system, make sure rt2800usb kernel module has loaded correctly, type the followings:
| Code: |
| $ lsmod | grep rt2800usb rt2800usb 27034 0 rt2x00usb 20742 1 rt2800usb rt2800lib 89076 1 rt2800usb rt2x00lib 55307 3 rt2x00usb,rt2800lib,rt2800usb $ modinfo rt2800usb | head -5 filename: /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2800usb.ko license: GPL firmware: rt2870.bin description: Ralink RT2800 USB Wireless LAN driver. version: 2.3.0 |
And make sure you can see wlan0, type the following:
| Code: |
| $ iwconfig . wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=off Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:on |
If you can’t see wlan0 in the output, you must return to first.
Step 2. Configuring an Ad-Hoc wireless network
Next, configure interface wlan0 to connect your wireless network adapter to your PSP. Type the followings:
| Code: |
| $ sudo rfkill unblock wifi $ sudo ifconfig wlan0 down $ sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc $ sudo iwconfig wlan0 channel 1 $ sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid PSP_AULUS10391_L_MHP2Q000 $ sudo iwconfig wlan0 retry 0 $ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up |
Make sure interface wlan0 has configured correctly:
| Code: |
| $ ifconfig wlan0; iwconfig wlan0 wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:90:cc. UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:»PSP_AULUS10391_L_MHP2Q000″ Mode:Ad-Hoc Frequency:2.412 GHz Cell: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry limit:0 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:on |
Step 3. Setting up Kai
Finally, configure Network Adapter in XLink Kai user configuration file. Edit a file kaiUserConfig.txt to have your kaiengine explicitly set network adapter to wlan0 at start time,
| Code: |
| $ sudo nano kaiUserConfig.txt |
and then edit the value of kaiAdapter:
| Code: |
| # Network adapter (!=autodetect) kaiAdapter=wlan0 |
That’s all. Do you have any questions?
Add a «non-free» component to /etc/apt/sources.list.
In the case of Debian 7 Wheezy, for example:
| Code: |
| # Debian 7 «Wheezy» deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free |
In the case of Raspbian, for example:
| Code: |
| deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free rpi |
And then update the list of available packages and install the firmware-ralink package:
| Code: |
| $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install firmware-ralink |
| Code: |
| $ uname -a Linux raspberrypi 3.10.25+ #622 PREEMPT Fri Jan 3 18:41:00 GMT 2014 armv6l GNU/Linux |
| Code: |
| $ lsusb . Bus 001 Device 005: ID 2019:ab50 PLANEX GW-US54Mini2 |
| Code: |
| $ lsmod | grep rt73usb rt73usb 23354 0 rt2x00usb 11492 1 rt73usb rt2x00lib 44267 2 rt73usb,rt2x00usb $ modinfo rt73usb | head -5 filename: /lib/modules/3.10.25+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt73usb.ko license: GPL firmware: rt73.bin description: Ralink RT73 USB Wireless LAN driver. version: 2.3.0 |
| Code: |
| $ ifconfig wlan0; iwconfig wlan0 wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:cf. UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:»PSP_AULJM05800_L_MHP3Q000″ Mode:Ad-Hoc Frequency:2.412 GHz Cell: FE:90:2F:50:7B:F3 Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry limit:0 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:on |

Wifi psp xlink mode
This is a collection of tips and suggestions added by Xlink users for help with both Black and White Wifi Max’s and Windows Vista 32 & 64 bit owners, along with general help for other wireless USB adapters. Credits to contributers listed at the end of this topic
Disclaimer :
All the tips given above are undertaken by you as the user at your own risk. Team Xlink is not responsible should anything happen to your p/c or adapter as a result of attempting anything below. This post contains solutions and fixes to problems users have encountered but please be aware, what worked for them may not work for you.
Tip 1: Enabling PSP Xlink Mode:
1st) If you havn’t got this option after you’ve installed the adapter drivers, try the following by ‘Jiggah’,
| Quote: |
| Set the compatibility mode of the driver installer to Windows XP SP2. |
This is required (in many cases) to get the ‘ PSP Xlink Mode ‘ to appear in the adapter’s properties, experiment with other compatibilities if you don’t have Windows XP SP2!
2nd) Regardless of the adapter, for some users, enabling this function is the last step to getting your compatible Wifi adapter working.
To do this, go into Device Manager , right-click on your wireless adapter and go to its Properties .
Then click Advanced and go down to PSP Xlink Mode and enable it (as per the image below taken from the Belkin F5D7050B set-up guide).
**NOTE** For Wifi Max users, this option is found in the ZDWLan Utility itself:
If you don’t have or see this option, there is practically no chance of getting the adapter to work with Xlink Kai.
You either:
a) have an incompatible wireless adapter or
b) have a compatible adapter but don’t have the right drivers installed. The only solution here is to find alternative drivers. Check the many set-up guides for help.
Tip 2: Black Wifi Max and Vista 64-bit:
If you’re having trouble installing the ZDWLan Utiltity with Vista 64-bit and Wifi Max, it could be to do with an option called ‘Signed Driver Requirement’ . This may need to be disabled.
To do this, press F8 on boot and find the option to ‘Disable Signed Driver Requirement ‘, save and exit .
Tip 3: Disappearing ZDWLan Utility on Windows Vista for Black and White Wifi Max:
Sometimes this problem can be resolved by changing the compatibilities of the ZDWLan Utility.
To change the adapter’s compatibilties, right click on ZDwlan utility .exe (usually found in: C:>Program Files>ZyDAS Technology Corporation>ZyDAS_802.11g_Utility ), go to properties , then go to the compatibility tab and select windows 2003 server (service pack 1) or Windows 2000 , making sure you have the ‘run this program as an administrator’ box checked .
Tip 4: White Wifi Max users and Vista:
It is reported that some of these White Wifi Max’s use different drivers, namely the Ralink RT73 drivers. Make sure to change the compatibility of the installation .exe to Windows XP (Service Pack 3) by right-clicking on the driver install .exe , then properties , compatibility and check the Windows XP (Service Pack 3) option. Also make sure you run it with adminstrator privileges.
Tip 5: Detailed set-up guide from Alex Cory for Windows Vista and Wifi Max:
1. unplug the wifi MAX if it is plugged in and uninstall any pre-existing ZyDAS drivers.
2. download the drivers mentioned in the sticky note of this website(BUT DO NOT INSTALL THEM YET):
ZD1211BWinPkgS_6_17_0_0_ALL.exe
3. right click on the ZD1211BWinPkgS_6_17_0_0_ALL.exe file and select the compatability tab.(as shown in the below image) check the «Run this program in. » box and select something in the dropdown (I used windows 2000). Also check the run as administrator checkbox.
4. now double click and install the drivers like you would normally.
5. once installed, plugin the wifi MAX dongle and allow the drivers to be picked up automatically.
If you setup the settings correctly, you will see the ZD+ icon in the taskbar now.(see image below)
that sticky has been very reliable to me for connecting any ad hoc PSP game to the wifi dongle.
NOTE: for those that can’t get XLink KAI to run because of a PSSDK error, you need to right click it and select «Run as Administrator». Or use the compatability mode and check the «Run as Administrator» checkbox. (NOTE for XLink KAI: If you check the checkbox, you do not need to check the «run this program in. » checkbox, as Kai still runs on vista OK.)
Tip 6: An alternative is to to install different drivers as per the next section by Garfinkle for Wifi Max and Vista:
2. Let vista install the Atheros drivers for the network adapter (via windows update)
3. reboot vista => click on start => type ‘Device Manager’ into the search box at the bottom of thes tart menu and open Device Manager that appears in the list above . Choose to update the drivers for the Atheros Device In Network Adapters.
4. Choose ‘Browse my computer for driver software’ then Choose ‘let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer’.
5. Locate the extracted files on your desktop
e.g. c:\users\garfinkle\desktop\f5d7050\files\driver\
6. choose the only device displayed in the list (Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter)
7. The driver will now be updated and it will say you have installed the ‘Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter’
8. Right click on the adapter, choose properties and select advanced, from here you can now enable pspxlink mode.
9. Select network address in the advanced tab area and enter a network name such as 192.168.0.50 (as long as no other device is using the same ip address)
10. On the psp xmb, select game sharing (you can also enter a game lobby, game sharing is faster to get to than booting a game)
11. Vista should now detect the psp and collect the ssid then connect with an excellent connection, now download the latest xlink from the website and setup as usual.
12. You should now be connected to the xlink-kai application with the psp configured.
Belkin F5D7050v3 and F5D7050H Adapters and Windows.
Tip 7: Connection dropping fix for the Belkin F5D7050v3 adapter and Windows XP by ThiefZero:
2) Copy the «rt73.inf» file and paste it somewhere like your desktop.
3) Uninstall the belkin drivers you just installed.
4) Download these RA link drivers here.
5) Install the RA link drivers. Find the folder you installed them to (for me it was something like root drive\documents and settings
all users\ application date\ralink driver\RT7x Wireless LAN Card\drivers
6) Take the rt73.inf file you copied from the belkin installation and overrite the rt73.inf file in the RA link drivers folder.
7) Go to device manager, select the belkin network adaptor, go to upgrade drivers, manually choose the rt73.inf you just copied into the ra link folder. Force it through , it will take. (i tried all of the «copying settings from the belkin rt73.inf to the ralink rt73.inf and it never worked. xp wouldnt recognize the drivers, until i fully copied over the entire .inf).
You should now be good to go, once you get into kai, hopefully, you shouldnt be getting dropped from games anymore. It’s worked fantastically for me tonight.
Tip 8: Using Planex drivers on your Belkin. (use at your own risk!!)
