Can someone with the Wifi "error" and only with the wifi "error" try this rom.
repackedmod.zip

I will say again this has only been tested on my tablet and very little at that. This may brick your tablet. Only try if you have already lost Wifi
.

I installed this ROM image and got the same result. Wifi error.

is it needed?

Thanks

No it's in a different folder. system/lib/modules I think.

I am hoping someone will try with the RK utility. SD card out, Factory reset.

Check this out about this driver. This driver is used in many linux systems. And lots of bugs.

http://wiki.debian.org/rt2860sta#issues

It has the 2870sta also.

I tried that, putting the driver in caused the tablet to immediately lock up and reboot. Wifi still worked though it never hasn't. I also changed the txpower setting, it seems a bit cooler. I would suggest trying it....It can't hurt.

What file and what did you set it to?

 

[vdubbus77]

What file and what did you set it to?

/etc/firmware/rt2870.bin whatever the thread says to do. and changed transmit power to 20

/system/etc/dhcpcd-hooks/95-eth-configured

Hi,

I dowloaded and copied the rt2870.bin in folder /etc/firmware/
I did changed transmit power to 20

I looked for the file 95-eth-configured
it is in folder /system/etc/dhcpcd-eth/dhcpcd-hooks/95-eth-configured and it is exacly the same as m3red

rebooted the tablet and I still get error on Wifi on boot.

Thanks for continuing on finding a solution for us.
