[ts-7000] How to connect to the TS-WiFiBox-2 through WiFi?

["burnsmicro" <>]

Help. I am having a devil of a time getting the WiFi up on the TS-WiFiBox-2.

I must be missing some key element in the "WIFI-G-USB-2 Manual". In following
this manual, I first confirmed the WiFi driver has not been installed (# cat
/proc/net/wireless).

Then I downloaded and expanded wifi-g-usb-2_rt2501usb-binaries.tar.gz and copied
...\rt2501usb\binaries\linux26\rt73_ts7500.ko from my PC to
/lib/modules/2.6.24.4/kernel/net/wireless/, for lack of a better location, on
the board. The instructions just say "download to the board".

After running:

ts7500:/# insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24.4/kernel/net/wireless/rt73_ts7500.ko

..and "rausb0" showed up (# cat /proc/net/wireless).

Next I attempted to set up a "WPA Personal ? TKIP" connection:

ts7500:/# ifconfig rausb0 up
ts7500:/# ifconfig

..and the board hung.

On restarting the board and booting Debian, there was no trace of the WiFi
driver (# cat /proc/net/wireless).

Help. What am I missing?

Thanks,

RF
