OpenSUSE Wireless :: RaLink RT2860 Not Working Out Of The Box In 11.3

Aug 10, 2010

Desktop PC with Trendnet TEW-642 PCI wireless N adapter (Ralink 2860 STA driver). Running openSUSE 11.3 X8_64 with KDE 4.4.4. Software Management and KNetwork Manager both identified rt2860STA as installed. However, KNetwork Manager's authentication window keeps popping up every few seconds and I cannot get wireless.

1) uname -r:

Code:

2.6.34-12-desktop

2) /sbin/lspci -nnk:

Code:

03:06.0 Network controller [0280]: RaLink RT2800 802.11n PCI [1814:0601]
Subsystem: RaLink Device [1814:2860]
Kernel driver in use: rt2860

3) dmesg:

Code:

[ 6.270671] rt2860sta: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
[ 6.275290] alloc irq_desc for 21 on node 0
[ 6.275294] alloc kstat_irqs on node 0

[code].....

I have downloaded and extracted the latest rt2860.bin file from the Ralinktech website to Desktop but even as root I cannot copy it to /lib/firmware or replace the existing rt2860.bin file in /lib/firmware.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Use The Ralink RT2860 Driver 11.2 - (error: Invalid Driver Rt2860.inf)?

Feb 2, 2010

I had a problem with using ndiswrapper to install Windows driver on Netgear WN511TA wireless adapter card. Problem solved by replacing Netgear WN511TA with Airlink101 AWLC6080 PCMCIA wireless adapter to work in my triple-boot XP Pro/Ubuntu Karmic/openSUSE 11.2 Toshiba laptop and using the latest Linux driver version 2.3.0.0 dated January 29, 2010 from Ralinktech site. I followed driver instruction in a Ubuntuforums tutorial (Howto: Ralink RT2860(m) PCI(e) RT2860...on Intrepid).

I am wondering if I can use the same Linux driver (RT2860sta) for openSUSE 11.2 on my triple-boot XP Pro/Karmic/openSUSE laptop, ie. copying over instead of building and compiling driver from source again, because I don't quite understand the build instruction given in the README file of Ralink's Linux driver file. Specifically, I don't know how to "define the GCC and LD (?) of the target machine, and define the compiler flags CFLAGS(?), modify your need (?)", etc. I already have gcc, cpp and make installed on the Ubuntu and openSUSE parts of my machine. I did try ndiswrapper in openSUSE but it doesn't work for the Windows version of the latest Ralink driver (error: invalid driver rt2860.inf).

Ubuntu Networking :: Ralink RT2860 Card Will Not Connect To WPA2 In Lucid

May 8, 2010

After installing Lucid, I noticed that my Ralink RT2860 card would not connect to my home network using WPA2 despite the network being visible and of good strength. So I followed the guide at [url] in order to install the newest Ralink drivers.

After installation, same issue. That is, the card will connect to my a/b/g/n network if I leave it unprotected, but it will not connect to the same network if switch it to WPA2. After being given the passphrase, the wireless icon on the indicator applet shows that it is trying to connect, but after awhile it fails. Does anyone know why the built-in driver and also the official Ralink driver are no good for WPA2 in Ubuntu 10.4 for my RT2860 card?

Debian Hardware :: Sid Kernel 2.6.37 Rt2860 Wireless Not Working?

Feb 20, 2011

ubuntu --> debian --> ubuntu --> debian --> fedora --> ubuntu netbook remix --> kubuntu --> lubuntu --> arch --> debian testing --> ubuntu --> debian testing (with different GUI LXDE, GNOME, KDE, ENLIGHTENMENT) --> Linux Mint LMDE --> PCLINUXOS --> ubuntu (different GUI's again) --> Debian testing --> Debian Sid with APT pinning.

I still consider myself a linux newbie so if there is anything that seems misleading or incorrect please let me know.

Some history: Normally my wireless worked out of the box with ubuntu (2.6.35) with minor hiccups and few disconnect issues.
In debian testing (2.6.32) all i needed to do was install the firmware-ralink_0.27_all.deb package and it would work properly.Today I noticed that there was a kernel upgrade from 2.6.32-5 to 2.6.37-1 available in Sid. I upgraded the kernel everything works properly but my wireless would not connect. I use gnome with network manager. Network manager would list all available wireless networks but not be able to connect with wpa/wpa2 security. I noticed that network manager was using the rt2800 driver which does not work properly with my wireless card. It also seems that kernel 2.6.37 removed the rt2860sta driver reference from its "source".

When i was using Ubuntu Maverick with kernel 2.6.35 i noticed that network manager would use the rt2800 driver. Normally I would be able to connect but every so often or after the computer would "sleep" I would not be able to reconnect to a wireless network without rebooting. I found this post on the Ubuntu forums that describes how to compile the driver from source and problem solved: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1476007 I will for the most part, copy the steps that Sven6210 describes and modify for the debian kernel 2.6.37-1

Things needed before proceeding :

1.Gedit text editor program or alternative

2.Have gcc (The GNU C compiler) installed

3.These steps assume the system is configured with sudo, please make appropriate modifications tailored to your system.

4.Be not afraid of the command line.

Debian Hardware :: RT2860 Wireless Card Not Working

Jun 1, 2011

I just installed Debian after I became fed up with Ubuntu. I'm trying to get my wireless card to work so I can move my computer back to it's proper place. Right now I have to put it right next to the router so the Ethernet cable can reach. Anyways, I've had trouble with this card before, so I did a quick google search. I found this: [URL]. I followed the instructions, and the thing at the top of the panel shows a list of wireless networks. When I try to connect to mine, it asks me for authentication. When I give it authentication, it idles for a while before asking me again.

Here's some system information:
uname -a
Linux max-pc 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Wed May 18 23:13:22 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
lsmod | grep rt2860sta
rt2860sta 454573 1
crc_ccitt 1323 1 rt2860sta .....

From what I recall, when I used Ubuntu it was called ra0. Could this have something to do with it?

Ubuntu Networking :: Edimax EW-7128g Wireless PCI Not Working With Ralink RT2561/RT61 Chipset

Sep 5, 2010

Just installed Ubuntu Studio 10.04 and everything seems to be working nicely except I have no networking.

The card does not appear in the Network Settings GUI. The only 3 tabs I have are General, DNS, and Hosts.

A screen grab is attached.

I'm a long time Windows user trying out some of the best Linux creative apps I can find. So, Ubuntu Studio was a no brainer. I checked the manufacturer's site for linux drivers and they are available, but I don't know how current. (Edimax site, not RaLink's site.) I opened the file and it looks like it needs to be compiled and installed to work. Something I know almost nothing about. The card is listed as supported in this forum for Ubuntu 9x but I can't find information about it for 10.04

PS. I have no networking on the system but I can transfer files via USB flash drives if needed.

Some System info:

Code:

1 ) Machine Brand and Model (PC/Laptop): Dell Precision 650

2 ) Wireless Brand, Model and Wireless Chipset: 03:0c.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI

3 ) check interface: robert@ubuntu:~$ ifconfig

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Ralink T2501USB Not Detected?

Oct 28, 2009

Just discovering Linux. Couldn't expect everything to work right away, of course. I has some issues with the x11 (the GUI wouldn't show itself), but have gotten around that. Next is WLAN. I have a Motorola USB stick whose chipset i've identified as the Ralink T2501.

It won't show up in YAST as a WLAN adapter, but does in the USB devices attached. I've procured what the sticky advised, and this is it:

HTML Code:

Unique ID: CiZ2.Q1gxt8A0_KF
Parent ID: uIhY.3f5c44ENLJ9

[Code]....

Anyway, i've downloaded the necessary driver (rt73), but don't want to leap into installing it before i consult you guys. Where do i go from here?

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Can't Connect Ralink 2561 Wlan

Mar 6, 2010

I have installed opensuse 11.2 on a second partition, with the ultimate aim of leaving windows altogether. Unfortunately, I seem to be having terrible trouble (as do many others) getting my wireless internet connection working. I have viewed lots of posts in these forums and done everything I can think of, but since I am a linux novice, am unable to identify the problem. The card is working, since it can identify local SSIDs, it has been set up (to the best of my knowledge) correctly in YAST, but nothing seems to work.
I'll include some information I have recorded from my system.. I typed the commands below with the accompanying output listed:

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Can't Connect Asus N13 Wifi Dongle (Ralink RT2870 )

Nov 7, 2010

Im a Linux newbie and am running OpenSuse 11.3 (Gnome, 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop Kernel) and Ive an Asus N13 wifi dongle (linux compatible). I currently connect using my laptopÅ› internal wifi but I bought the dongle due to trouble with weak signal. It came with some sort of code that can be "compiled" but I havent got a clue how to do that (and I have been researching this matter for quite some time now). I then came across a post where someone with the same USB stick created and added only two small files to his filesystem and it worked...for him (maybe becasuse he was on a different Distro )

Ralink RT2870 USB Stick and created the two files mentioned in the post (network_drivers.rules and network_drivers.conf) and placed them in ETC... etc, etc! I rebooted the system but NetworkManager only lists it as "device not ready" ... So now back to square one.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Ralink 2070/3070 USB Dongle - No Scan Result

Nov 19, 2010

Just purchased this USB wifi NIC. installs and work perfect under Win XP, how ever I can't seem to get working on my opensuse 11.3

Network manager did not recognize the NIC out of the box (still doesn't) so I started trawling the forum and I've read both wireless 'stickys'.

When out of the box did not work I installed the rt3070sta-kmp-desktop - RT3070 Wireless Lan Linux Driver from the repos.

My Nic and kernel version

OpenSUSE Network :: RaLink RT2561 / RT61 Working In LiveCD Not In Actual HDD Install

Aug 2, 2010

I am and Ubuntu user, and recently became interested in KDE 4, since it obviously looks much more modern that GNOME. I tried Kubuntu, but didn't really like it that much, so I downloaded openSUSE 11.3 and installed it on an old 40 GB IDE hard drive, leaving my existing Windows/Ubuntu HD untouched. The only problem is the Wi-Fi doesn't work, although it did work on the liveCD. Issuing the command gives the Wi-Fi card as being a RaLink RT2561/RT61. Does anyone know how to fix this? I really hope I can get this fixed, as I've heard some great things about openSUSE KDE, and would love to make it my primary OS, completely dumping Ubuntu. I'm using the 64-bit CD.

Slackware :: Can't Use Wireless In 13.1 - Chipset: Rt2860

May 13, 2010

I can't use my wireless card in slack 13.1 (slack64-current). Looking at the dmesg output I saw that the firmware was missing, so I download it from ralink website.After this I was able to up it with ifconfig. I also was able to see my network with wicd, but after connection I can only transfer very few packets and network becomes unresponsive, no traffic.In slack64 13.0 this same card works fine. I don't even need to install a firmware. how I can make this work in slackware64-current?

Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Find Wireless N Networks With RT2860

Feb 1, 2011

I went out and purchased a Sabrent PCI wireless 802.11n card with the RT2860 chipset because it was on the ubunutu compatibility list and has linux driver available from the manufacturer. I was impressed that the card worked in wireless G mode out of the box, which is a great start....

However, I can't find any wireless N networks. Dual booting I can find/use my N network, but in ubuntu I can only find my G network. This is somewhat frustrating because I bought this card and a new (read: expensive) Linksys E3000 router specifically to run a nice new N network...

I have downloaded, made, and installed (reboot) the latest driver from the manufacturer, but it still won't find any N networks. I found a few posts by searching here and google that alluded to changing this line: "HT_OpMode=1" (from 0 to 1) in the config file RT2860STA.dat located in /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/ and a reboot. It didn't work for me.

Frankly all this rebooting is starting to **** me off ... I have spent most of last night trying to setup my 180$ wireless network and its still no better than the freebie DDWRT54g based wifi it replaced. I am frustrated, perhaps someone wiser in the ways of ubuntu and wireless N can shed some light on the situation....

I forgot to mention I am on Karmic Kola, amd64 with the standard gnome.

Fedora Hardware :: Cannot Detect Ralink Wireless Card?

Nov 11, 2010

I recently purchased an MSI A5000 notebook, but regrettably it happens to use an obscure branded wireless card that's given me quite a bit of frustration to get working. I do have a bit of history behind this card that might help to solve this problem. First of all the card is a Ralink rt3090STA, and the manufacturer does provide a linux driver for this card (available here)

I was using Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit until last week, when I decided that I would like to try using a 64 bit system. I would prefer to use fedora instead of Ubuntu for the time being. Ubuntu had some major problems recognizing the card for some time before I was able to get it to work. The process I used to resolve the issue on my Ubuntu system has not proven successful on Fedora 13 x64, and I would like any help I can get to try to resolve this problem.

Ubuntu :: Ralink RT2561/RT61 Wireless Card On 9.10?

Apr 26, 2010

About a year ago I had a different computer with this same wireless card (edimax EW-7128g) and it was recognized immediately after I installed ubuntu 8.10. I found this hardware compatibility page, and it says it is compatible, at least on 9.04.

After reading this old guide I found:[URL].. I downloaded the latest driver, and followed the instructions (i had to refer to the readme too, some things were slightly different which I'm assuming is because it's the 2010 driver not the version referred to in that tutorial) up until:

(e) copy the rt61.ko driver file to the modules directory then load it
Code:
$ sudo cp rt61.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/.
$ sudo depmod
$ sudo modprobe rt61

I don't see where rt61.ko is.I've got the information for my wireless connection edited into /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/ rt61sta.dat iwconfig shows pretty much default stuff, no mention of my wireless card or any type of connection, though the card does show up at the bottom of the lspci query. I added the wireless connection information into the "Network Connections" prompt in the preferences, but obviously that's not accomplished much of anything for obvious reasons. Should I just install 9.04? Judging from this account, getting this wireless card to work would be a hell of a lot easier.

Ubuntu :: Upgrading To A Ralink Based USB Wireless Device?

May 23, 2010

I have recently upgraded my USB wireless network connection for one of my computers to N from G. As I am (temporarily) based in China the device (and all documentation) are in Chinese. I THINK it is based on a Ralink 28XX chip. I am running Ubuntu 10.04. Network Manager claims that the wireless network is disconnected does not list any sources This is the basic info that I am able to find (I am using these commands in ignorance, by the way!) lsusb shows:

I have tries some other solutions I found around here (install bcmwl-kernel-source, rt3090-dkms_2.4.0.4, blacklist rt2800pci...) so it's not original configuration but behaves exactly the same.

Fedora Networking :: Setting Up F10 For Wireless Connection (Ralink RT2870)?

Apr 20, 2009

I have recently installed Fedora 10 onto my PC, dual booting with XP, and I am fairly new to linux. I have been trying to connect to my wireless network, but cannot even get Fedora to recognise my wireless adapter (Belkin N1 +MIMO). I have tried to follow a few tutorials that go through either the ndiswrapper method or by using native drivers. Because I don't have an internet connection on Fedora, I have to boot into XP to download the files for either ndiswrapper or the native drivers, rather than installing using the terminal.I downloaded the ndiswrapper RPM, and it failed because of an 'unexpected error', and when using the tarball, it could not find the makefile. The native drivers did not install because of unresolved dependencies.
