I just picked up a used D-Link DWA-130 adapter. lsusb on my linux laptop tells me that it uses the RT2870 chipset, which is supposed to work out of the box, right?

Bus 001 Device 016: ID 07d1:3c13 D-Link System DWA-130 802.11n Wireless N Adapter(rev. B) [Ralink RT2870]

Well, I plug it in, boot up the Caanoo, go into settings, then start Wireless Lan. It immediately tells me that the "Network connection failed." and that "WI-FI connection is over."

I have firmware 1.6.1 installed.

So, I probably need a kernel module for this thing, right? Has anyone already compiled one for this chipset? I'd rather not do this myself unless I absolutely have to as it would be very time consuming for me.

Ah, so /lib/modules/2.6.24/kernel/net/wireless/rt3070sta.ko would work for my card and is included in the NAND?

insmod ran without error, but unfortunately, my interface still does not show up with ifconfig -a. :S
