[rt2x00] New device id?AirLive WN-5000USB v2 (1b75:2770)

Hi,

We've Ralink USB card owner on polish forum, he is using old 2.6.34
kernel, but I think his card it not supported even in latest
wireless-testing.

Some provided data:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1b75:2770 Ovislink Corp.

43: USB 00.0: 0000 Unclassified device
  [Created at usb.122]
  Unique ID: ADDn.SoYTWydfmC1
  Parent ID: k4bc.3f5c44ENLJ9
  SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:13.2/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0
  SysFS BusID: 1-1:1.0
  Hardware Class: unknown
  Model: "Ralink 802.11 n WLAN"
  Hotplug: USB
  Vendor: usb 0x1b75 "Ralink"
  Device: usb 0x2770 "802.11 n WLAN"
  Revision: "1.01"
  Serial ID: "1.0"
  Speed: 480 Mbps
  Module Alias: "usb:v1B75p2770d0101dc00dsc00dp00icFFiscFFipFF"
  Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown
  Attached to: #40 (Hub)

Should this card be supported by just adding it's ID?

Is there a way to add card's ID on the fly, without recompiling kernel?

Kind of, please try to get the compat-wireless package and work from there

It looks like an 'old' chipset, 2770, you can try to add it in the
relevant section (Ovislink) in rt2800.c

But there are no guarantees it will work :)

And don't forget, that card needs firmware (can't remember teh actual filename).
