RT5370 usb Wifi Dongle - Pogoplug

[chrisjn52]

Hi,
I have been trying to get an rt5370 wifi dongle working with my Pogoplug V2 without success. I am using the rt2800usb driver supplied with alarm which other people have used, (albeit on another platform) eg.http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/1394/how-can-i-install-the-rt5370-wifi-dongle-driver-on-arch-linux

Here are the results of some commands:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'uname -r:
3.1.10-22-ARCH

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'lsusb:

Since
I would appreciate any pointers on this as I have been trying to figure this out for a couple of days now.

Thanks

Hello, subsequent to my last post I managed to compile the RT5572 Driver package which supports the RT5370 usb dongle.
After some effort it now works........Now all I need to do is figure out Netctl failover from Ethernet so the wireless connection doesn't drop if it is unplugged!
