DRIVER TL WN727N DRIVERS
Anyway, The result is tested with latest Debian Squeeze 6.0.4-i386 installation.įirst we need the drivers which fortunately are available through chipset maker’s Ralink website, i have downloaded from this url the latest drivers which currently are the version 2.5.0.3, The downloaded filename is 2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO.bz2 which is wrong and it needs to be renamed to 2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_2 because it really is a tar archive compressed with bzip2.Īfter you have obtained the drivers file, put it in your box and do the following in order to uncompress/compile/install the tar jxvf cd make install I think that the problem mainly caused by the kernel hardware support of Debian Squeeze which is too old to support this chipset because the same adapter works out of the box on Debian Wheezy which is currently in testing stage with newer kernel (3.2.5), but i dont like the idea of working on test releases. This thing was tough… it took me almost 10 hours of posts reading, downloads, installs, builds to find a clean and easy solution to make it work, but first i must thank the VirtualBox for its support, without it the procedure of installing/cloning would have took me more than 24 hours.
