Ubuntu Networking :: Getting USB WiFi Dongle To Work?
Nov 19, 2010
I've bought this Blumax USB WLAN adapter 9009 (ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501/RT2573 Wireless Adapter). I was specifically happy to read in its specs that it supports Linux [URL].
However, it turned out that the co-packaged CD drive doesn't contain anything Linux-related, and the support page online has gzip package with many files I don't know what to do with [URL]. The online support swallowed my query and hasn't returned any answer.
So, now I am wondering what to do. I don't feel so competent as to be able to compile the drivers on my own, specifying several specific parameters. At least it doesn't compile with default params. how to move forward with this. Apart from returning the device, because I'm too far now from the place where I bought this.

I have a AWU212n wifi dongle that I would like to use to get a debian computer to connect to connect to the network. There aren't any linux drivers and it seems to need a realtek program to connect. I'm running debian Squeeze. Wine doesn't work to run the installer, I don't know if I copied the realtek program from a windows computer and ran it with wine if it would work then or not.

I have just installed Ubuntu on an old laptop for a little bit of programming and to gain some familiarity with linux. Im looking forward to getting to know my way around the OS
Unfortunately, the wireless card (for wifi) on this laptop is broken, so instead I have been using a wifi usb dongle on windows. I am having some trouble installing this dongle in ubuntu, i cant find a driver for it!
Its a "MicroNext MN-WD546J 54M Wireless Adapter"

I have my modem connected directly at the moment via LAN, and this works no problem, but id like to get it connected wirelessly

I have a Netgear WG111v2 Wifi dongle, sadly there is no linux drivers for it. The only solution i can find is to use Ndiswrapper.
Will it be a major challenge writing a Linux driver ?
Where should i start ?
NB. I want to write my own driver for the following reasons:
Get a better understanding of Linux Device drivers. Probably, get a better understanding of C/C++ and Linux in general.

I'm planning to buy a mobile dongle from 3 (this one: [URL]) but I don't want to tie myself down to a contract before I'm sure that it'll work.
I have a 64-bit computer with Ubuntu 10.10 and WINE installed, so if I was to buy it, how would I set it up?

I bought the modem above (ZTE MF627), which works great in Windows 7. My laptop dual boots between Windows 7 and Fedora 12, so I rebooted into Fedora and spent a few hours trying to get the modem working. Scouring the Ubuntu forums (as there's only one post on these forums and it simply didn't work), I found a few possible solutions, but nothing seems to be solving the problem. Here goes... The modem gets picked up by the kernel and appears as a USB device.

I'm trying to get my SMC EZ-Connect 802.11g 2862W-G wireless dongle to work on a friend's Lucid Lynx. I see there are some closed archived posts asking how to install this dongle, but since they don't appear to have been solved, here's a bump to see if I can resurrect the topic.
lsusb gives me Bus001 Device 003: ID 0707:ee06 Standard Microsystems Corp. EZ-Connect 802.11g on what I should do next?

I'm running Debian Squeeze on my desktop computer. I have a USB dongle of italian brand Dikom (they just re-brand Chinese products). It has a Zydas ZD1211B chip. Now, according to this, drivers for that chip have been included in all distros for a while. And yet, Debian doesn't want to know about my dongle. Wicd can't connect, the system doesn't seem to do anything with hotplugging when it's inserted, and lspci doesn't list it. What to do (short of threading Ethernet cable from one end of my home to the other)?

I'm looking for a usb dongle which allows an extended wifi range (usually looks like a usb stick with a small antenna on top). Buffalo and Planex have both replied they don't support linux. Alfa makes one but I cannot get it locally.

I just bought a Belkin F7D2101 USB Wifi N dongle, it works great, but every time I start my computer, it's not detected. At least, my network applet shows no network adapter. I have to unplug and plug it back in on another USB port to get detected. Then, my network dmon automatically connects to my wifi network.

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 laptopś 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.

I have an Asrock A330GC, with onboard ethernet, and an Engenius PCI card for wifi.I installed ubuntu server 9.10 no problems, and it picked up my ethernet in the installation with no difficulties.I couldn't get 9.10 to do what i wanted, so I tried installing 8.4 instead. This however didn't pick up any of the drivers, so i couldn't get online.So i reinstalled 9.10, only to find that no couldn't find network in the installation.Absolutely NOTHING has changed, the ethernet cable still plugged in, and if i plug same cable into my laptop, it works fine.Any ideas people?ifconfig doesn't mention any eth0, just lo, with an ip of 127.0.0.1 and amask of 255.0.0.0 which i'm fairly certain means its dead

I have been trying to get 9.10 to work with my D Link DWA 125 USB WiFi antenna for days now. I have searched these forums as well as other forums for answers. I have tried all of the suggestions I have come across, some simple, some complex. Nothing works. I have tried ndiswrapper, blacklisting drivers, re-installing, modifying the 2870sta.dat file......nothing works (or maybe I'm doing it wrong...I don't know).
I have a fresh install of 9.10 .Can someone please walk me through this and show me what I'm doing wrong?

I have been trying to install the driver for my Intel 5100 wireless card. I got the "correct" driver from the Intel site for Linux, but cannot figure out how to install it even after reading READ ME. So I tried ndiswrapper and couldn't figure that out either. I can't find the files it is talking about.

Just reinstalled ubuntu 10.10 x86 on an old laptop.
The wireless doesn't seem to work and I have no idea how to solve this.
In gnome I can see NetworkManager display the network ESSID.
I have entered the key but no success, it tries to connect and then times out after about 1-2 mins.
I have tried to change the encryption from WPA2, to WPA to WEP to nothing but the same issue.
In a terminal/shell running ifconfig/iwconfig I can see eth1 as the networkinterface.
How can I investigate this further. If there was an IRQ collission or something it would not be showing the ESSID right?

I'm looking for a cheap and stable wifi card that will work with Ubuntu 11.04. My Linksys WMP300N is creating a conflict with the native Broadcom driver (causing the system to freeze after light network traffic) and ndiswrappper isn't working for 64 bit Ubuntu.
Does anyone own a relatively cheap (less than $40USD) PCI card that works flawlessly, or close to flawlessly with 64bit Ubuntu 11.04? I need to get off of this 35ft ethernet cord. Cat5 + crossing top of stairs = problem in the future.

I can't connect to the internet as the wifi hasn't worked since I reinstalled Ubuntu 10.10...It might be a hardware problem as this problem occured, when I tried to install Windows 7 but it didn't work on my computer...than I decided to reinstall Ubuntu 10.10, but than the wifi just wasn't working...but it was working before the win 7 installation and during the installation win 7 recognized my wireless connections...and even when I tried installing win 7 AGAIN it still recognized them...but every time I want to install Ubuntu 10.10...wireless just doesn't work.

I have 10.04 lucid installed on a presario 2800t laptop(it's old and hasn't got much memory). Anyway, now I can't get my Netgear WNA1100 to work. I know it works right away with 11.04, but that isn't really an option for me. It's too slow on this old computer. get it working with 10.04?

I have a Sony VAIO VGN SR29VN with ubuntu 9.10; I am trying to make a wifi connection through WPA work, to no avail. WEP and open connections work correctly, but when I try to connect to a WPA network using TTLS via network manager, y get errors of this type:Current regulatory domain updated by AP to:ES
preceded by lots of "leaving channel xxxx intact" and followed by "disassociating by local choice".This Sony is using an Intel 5100 wifi; any idea of what's going on or how to fix it?
