Belkin F5D9050 Wireless G+ Ralink RT2573

Postby jbodhorn » Tue Jan 03, 2017 5:05 am

I'm having trouble with a usb wifi adapter on a raspberry pi running Arch arm
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
lsusb
')
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 050d:905b Belkin Components F5D9050 Wireless G+ MIMO Network Adapter v3000 [Ralink RT2573]
')
I can get it to connect and it'll work fine for a while but when it disconnects its causing problems because I can't ssh in to reboot. I've installed dnsmasq and set my iptables to share my wifi connection to ethernet and I've also set up hostapd to share my wifi to a second wifi adapter.

I don't have any issues that I know of with my usb belkin wifi adapter when using Arch x86_64 but to even get it to work in Arch arm I had to make a conf file under $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/etc/modules-load.d/') to load $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'crc_itu_t')

On my x86_64 laptop running Arch when I use that belkin wifi adapter there are four modules that load that even when added to my conf file in Arch arm don't load, those modules are rfkill, led_class, usbcore, and usb_common. Could those missing modules be the reason I'm having issues with my wifi adapter, are they not available in Arch arm and that's why they don't load?

Could my problem have to do with powersaving options on the wireless card? Maybe it is going to sleep and not waking up? I've been doing all my setup from cli/ssh and haven't installed a DE so powersaving hadn't crossed my mind while trying to figure out why my wireless card keeps cutting out. Plus I've been using the card that keeps cutting out for a wireless hotspot with hostapd so the card falling asleep definitely hadn't crossed my mind.

Today I was trying to figure out what the cause of my problem is and was reading the Arch wiki, the wireless network configuration linked to powersaving and powersaving showed me examples of udev rules. I followed the examples and made a udev rule.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[alarm@alarmpi rules.d]$ sudo cat 50-usb_power_save.rules
[sudo] password for alarm:
# blacklist for usb autosuspend
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="050d", ATTR{idProduct}=="905b", GOTO="power_usb_rules_end"

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", TEST=="power/control", ATTR{power/control}="auto"
LABEL="power_usb_rules_end"
')
I got the idvendor and idproduct by doing $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ' sudo lsusb -v')
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

')

Did I make my rule right and is there a way to test that it is working?
This was the example I followed from the wiki
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')Alternatively, to blacklist devices that are not working with USB autosuspend and enable it for all other devices:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/etc/udev/rules.d/50-usb_power_save.rules')
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
# blacklist for usb autosuspend
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="05c6", ATTR{idProduct}=="9205", GOTO="power_usb_rules_end"

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", TEST=="power/control", ATTR{power/control}="auto"
LABEL="power_usb_rules_end"
')


I didn't do the part that follows the above example from the wiki because the usbcore module is one of the modules that won't load. Will this cause me any problems, do I need usbcore module and if so how can I get it in Arch arm?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')The default autosuspend idle delay time is controlled by the autosuspend parameter of the usbcore kernel module. To set the delay to 5 seconds instead of the default 2 seconds:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
/etc/modprobe.d/usb-autosuspend.conf
')
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
options usbcore autosuspend=5
')

I was just looking through dmesg and saw this:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[ 3.376199] usbcore: registered new interface driver ax88179_178a
[ 3.383081] usbcore: registered new interface driver smsc95xx
[ 3.389353] usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_ncm
')
So I guess the usbcore module is loading at boot on my Arch arm install, I don't understand why it isn't shown when I type $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'lsmod')
The usbcore module isn't listed as I showed in my post above

It doesn't show up because it is not built as a module, but rather built into kernel
https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUIL ... g.v6#L3725

To control the parameters in such a situation, you need to pass arguments to the kernel at the command line:
<your_mod_name>.<your_mod_parameter_var_name>=<an_appropriate_value>

You can also use wifi-menu and netctl-auto@ service to automatically reconnect
