RT5370 Wireless Adapter not working on Darkbasic

[ygramoel]

I just plugged in a RT5370 Wireless Adapter ( Ralink Technology) into a USB port of my RPi B+ running a DarkBasic image.
It is recognized as a USB device but the driver is not able to create a network interface.

Below is the output of lsconfig, lsusb and (part of) dmesg. The part that worries me most is the line

pcm512x 1-004d: Failed to reset device: -5

in the output of dmesg.

What could be wrong/missing here?

The obvious question has to be, what happens if you use a new download of Raspbian instead ? That way we know if its hardware or software we should be chasing.

OK the wireless adapter works with full raspbian; the hardware is OK . Something must be missing in darkbasic edition ...

Can you copy the /boot/* stuff (kernel and firmware stuff) and /lib/modules/`uname -r`/* kernel modules from Raspbian to your Darkbasic system so that you get a working version of the RT5730 driver?

Or look at getting a newer version from the Darkbasic owners.

Or wire your RPi to the network and use rpi-update to do that stuff automagically.
