In this small article I’ll show you how I’ve made my Linksys WUSB600N v2 wireless stick to work under linux.
At the beginning of doing anything, be sure that you have the same device. You should know that on the market are two different versions with different chipsets of WUSB600N device so far (v1 and v2), so make sure you got v2 or the drivers may won’t work.
To check your device version and it’s vendor ID code, run console and apply: lsusb | grep Linksys
It’s safely to proceed when your device vendor ID is the same as Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1737:0079 Linksys.
Download the rt3572usb driver from http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 or here, using your preferred method.
Extract the archive file (in my case 2009_1222_RT3572_LinuxSTA_V2[1].3.0.0.tar.bz2) with:
tar xfj 2009_1222_RT3572_LinuxSTA_V2[1].3.0.0.tar.bz2
Go to extracted directory and open os/linux/config.mk with your favorite editor.
Enable WPA support by changing:
HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=n to HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y and
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n to HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y
Save the file.
Now open common/rtusb_dev_id.c with your editor and add the following line right after the WUSB600N v1 device:
{USB_DEVICE(0x1737,0x0079)}, /* Linksys WUSB600N v2 */
Save the file.
Run make to compile the driver.
Run make install to install the driver.
The blue light on the stick will light up and now you are ready to use your wireless device.
Happy surfing!
I was searching for freely available Photoshop clone applications and I’ve landed on http://www.sumopaint.com.
Sumo Paint is a powerful online image editor and a painter application which runs directly in your browser. I was really surprised when I saw Sumo Paint’s hidden powers for the first time and since then, I’m using it quite often. It’s really wonderful to have such a wonderful application freely available on the internet.
Go, check it out yourself on http://www.sumopaint.com!
Here’s a small tutorial on how to display your linux terminal directly on your desktop and execute commands from there. I was testing this on Ubuntu 9.10, but it should work on other linux distributions too.
I’m assuming you have basic linux knowledge and ‘apt‘ installed on your machine.
In console apply the command: sudo apt-get install tilda
If everything went well, you’re now ready to configure tilda with: tilda -C
When a configuration window is opened, you can freely experiment with the settings. I’ve only changed the size of the text and the transparency in my case.
If you want to run tilda on startup of your desktop manager, simply go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications, click on add, enter any description you wish and the command tilda
Please note that you can toggle tilda by default with the F1 key.
Screenshot is available here.
That’s it, good luck!
