Thanks for the help :)

Still one little question how do I exit Linucx the only way I found was by typing reboot but that will reboot the I tire device. So is there a better way?

Nope: just like TI's OS (which Linux completely replaces in RAM), the best way to reboot the OS is to reboot the calculator :)

No, try it with CONFIG_RT2X00.

Yeah, you have to build a kernel with your driver integrated.

No. You only have to build new programs if you need them.

As Vogtinator (IIRC) mentioned somewhere else, that chip requires firmware... so you'll have to include that into your rootfs somehow.

No, you don't. The error message says the driver is looking for firmware.

No, just that the driver can't find the firmware.
Copy /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin on your USB-stick into the same directory. (The filename is no typo)
