i have a usb wifi dongle from a local company and i have downloaded the drivers from the company and after extracting the zip file it looks like this

tree ./
./
├── 1.ico
├── autorun.apm
├── autorun.exe
├── autorun.inf
├── desktop.ini
├── Linux
│   └── 2011_0719_RT3070_RT8070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_RT2070_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO.bz2

│   └── RT3070 2070 2770 WinCE5.0.zip
└── Windows
    └── Setup.exe

5 directories, 11 files

there is no information about linux in the user manual. the bz2 file in the Linux folder just has a file in it called 2011_0719_RT3070_RT8070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_RT2070_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO. can someone guide me on how to install these?

  • The starting point is knowing what OS/release you're using, and if it's a Ubuntu LTS release, which kernel stack you're using, as drivers are actually kernel modules, thus the kernel stack you're using can make a significant difference. You provided no OS/release details, let alone kernel stack. What I see in your provided details is only a tarball, where the instructions are provided (a) inside the tarball itself, or (b) where it's downloaded from; as it's a standard from the early 1980s thus has hundreds+ of standard ways of achieving the result! – guiverc Sep 12 '23 at 06:12
  • FYI: It's likely that tarball will be of no use to use today; it'll be intended for kernels of long ago just like Windows CE is... but tarballs are the same in GNU/Linux as per windows, or DOS in the before-windows days; having been a standard before both windows & Linux itself. – guiverc Sep 12 '23 at 06:14
  • Your approach is wrong. You should post the results of lsusb terminal command so that we can help (while dongle is connected) – R A Sep 12 '23 at 06:27
  • Read User Manual.pdf – waltinator Sep 12 '23 at 12:09
  • It is quite unlikely that this circa-2011 package will compile on any recent; that is, not end-of-life Ubuntu version. Drivers for almost every rt3xx device are already included. If your device is not working immediately, start a new question and include: lsusb. – chili555 Sep 12 '23 at 20:44
