What`s  wrong?

Mmm, it's looking a bit like that driver doesn't support your particular network card ... however;

Take a look at;

Code: [Select]

common/rtusb_dev_id.c

Try adding;

Code: [Select]

{USB_DEVICE(0x1761,0x0B05)}, 

To the list of recognised devices, then recompile, rmmod, insmod, and try again ...

Any particular reason you're not using rt2800usb which contains that VENDOR:DEVICE ID string:-

alias:          usb:v1761p0B05d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*

What happens if you run:

Code: [Select]

sudo modprobe -r rt2870sta

then

Code: [Select]

sudo modprobe rt2800usb

Does Wireless spring to life ?

wifi is suspended after 20 minutes and I have to reset the device to re-work...
