USB Station 2 + wi-fi stick

Postby _stas » Thu Apr 26, 2012 9:40 pm

I have problems using usb wi-fi sticks with my USB Station 2. Tried TP-LINK TL-WN721N and D-Link DWA-140. Each USB stick is successfully identified at System Information - General page, however no wireless settings available at network interfaces. Anyone seen something like this?

You have to compile/install proper drivers on your own.
Then you will have to manually configure a new network interface too.

This requires an alternative firmware, see http://synology.itolosa.com

I have itolosa already. However I expected to avoid manual configuration... Anyway, thanks.

USB Station 2 already has precompiled drivers.

> ls /lib/modules/ | grep sta.ko
rt2870sta.ko
rt3070sta.ko
rt5370sta.ko

I tried to get rt5370sta.ko working - no success.
I'd really appreciate if anynone helps.
