rt73 wifi driver for IPNC based on DM355

Hello everyone:

I followed this wiki to try to use the wifi on the IPNC based on DM355.

http://tiexpressdsp.com/wiki/index.php?title=Wireless_USB_Network

But I only have a TP-LINK USB Wifi adapter based on RT2571W/rt73 chipset.

so I launched kernel config and enabled the RADIO support and the USB-host support.

And because the mini-USB port on the IPNC is have not any power supply, I added a 5V DC on it.

And I download the 2009_0206_RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.1.0.2 on Ralink, Compiled it, and got the rt73.ko successfully.

then:

# insmod rt73.ko    
usbcore: registered new driver rt73

But, when I used the command "ifconfig rausb0 up",the IPNC printed:

# ifconfig rausb0 up
modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.10_mvl401_IPNC-2.1.0/modules.dep: No such file or directory

SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device

modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.10_mvl401_IPNC-2.1.0/modules.dep: No such file or directory

SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device

or use "ifconfig -a":

# ifconfig -a
