View 9 RepliesI'm trying to get a Rosewill RNX-N250PC wireless card w/ ralink rt3062 chip to work in a new build. I am able to see the card in Device Manager, but can't get the driver to work despite trying many of the suggestions I've read elsewhere. I installed build-essentials and downloaded the driver from ralink. I unzipped the folder, and started to follow README as well as this thread rt3062 [URL]. So, I've adjusted MODE and TARGET as instructed in Makefile. I also adjusted the following sections of red text from Makefile:
ifeq ($(PLATFORM),PC)
# Linux 2.6
LINUX_SRC = /lib/modules/$(2.6.35-22-generic)/build
# Linux 2.4 Change to your local setting
#LINUX_SRC = /usr/src/linux-2.4
LINUX_SRC_MODULE = /lib/modules/$(2.6.35-22-generic)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
CROSS_COMPILE =
endif
Then I set HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y and HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y in /os/linux/config.mk in the driver folder.
Then I code: $ make (also tried sudo make with same result)
and get:
make -C tools
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/das/2010_07_16_RT3062_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.0/tools'
gcc -g bin2h.c -o bin2h

I have just purchased an Edimax EW-7128g with Ralink RT61 chip and physically installed it in a system running CentOS 5.2. Trying to follow the installation instructions, I get the following:
[root@webtest Module]# make all
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/build SUBDIRS=/root/drivers/2007_1210_RT61_Linux_STA_v1.1.2.0/Module modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2
The problem is that although /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/build exists, it appears to be a link:
[root@webtest Module]# ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/build
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Mar 23 15:34 /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/build -> ../../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-92.el5-i686
I am dual booting with windows xp on a dell computer I recently acquired. I am running Ubuntu 10.10. The computer didn't have a wireless connection so I installed a wireless pci adapter from a company called ZONET. I installed it perfectly on windows xp, however, I cannot install the driver and the "Ralink Wireless LAN" on Ubuntu. I inserted the cd, and opened the setup.exe file with Wine Windows Program Loader (I have installed Wine 1.3 by following the instructions on http://www.winehq.org/download/deb and clicking on the link that says "click here".
I am currently temporarily connected to the internet by borrowing my main computers ethernet cable). I followed the instructions on the InstallShield Wizard only to have two windows pop up saying there is an error (see attached image).
Well, I reinstalled after this update fiasco we just had and now I am having issues with my driver resetting. I open terminal and type in:
Quote:
sudo rmmod rt2800usb
Finishes properly. I then pull my USB device, plug it back in, new driver kicks in. Wireless then works fine. However, upon reboot, it's back to using the rt2800usb driver, which doesn't work. So I head back to terminal and repeat the step above and all's well after.
I am fairly new to Fedora, so how can I actually get Fedora to completely blacklist the rt2800usb driver?
I'm very new to openSUSE, so I need easy, clear instructions on how to install the driver for RaLink RT2561T wi-fi card. I have the driver and everything, I just don't have a clue on how to install it!

It was recommended for my older Compaq desktop with a Celeron processor and 256mb of ram. I got the windows driver installer installed, but it was looking for a inf file and the driver I have on the cd is an executable file for an installer, so it wouldn't work. The cd also has a linux driver, but I do not know how to use terminal to install it. I'm at my wits end. I feel pretty stupid, because I know nothing about linux.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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).
I am trying to install a RaLink RT2570 USB Enhanced Driver for my Linksys WUSB54G that I found the driver here:I understand that I have to install full kernel source (I'm running CentOS 5.4 i386). I installed the source by the following commands that I found on the web:Install kernel headers: # yum install kernel-devel Kernel-headersInstall kernel source code:
# cd /tmp
# wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/updates/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5.src.rpm
# rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5.src.rpm

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a rt2500 wireless USB adapter ( WLI-U2-KG54-AI ). I tried to use it on 2 computers loaded with Ubuntu 9.10. It worked well in WEP mode, but I am now trying to connect to a WPA router and the connection fails (the network manager icon keeps rolling forever). WPA works well on those machines when using another wireless adapter (not rt2500 based). This adapter also works well with WPA under windows. Is this device supposed to work with Ubuntu in WPA mode
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am running Ubuntu 10.04 (32-bit) on a MSI A5000 which appears to have a RaLink RT3090 wireless card. So far everything seems to work except the Wireless card.
The problem is that no option for wireless appears in the network manager, it only shows the options for wired connection. This computer does have a button on the front to enable/disable wireless and I have confirmed that is is on, as there is a green indicator light showing this.
Can anyone tell me the status of the RaLink RT3090 with Ubuntu 10.04? I have looked through various posts here about getting this card working with earlier versions of the OS, where complicated procedures with mixed and apparently intermittent results are described. Do these measures also need to be followed with 10.04?
I have attempted several older solutions found in assorted threads here and I am still unable to get the card to even so much as show up in the network manager. The proceedure which seemed the most promising is here [URL]
I've followed these instructions exactly but when I get here: Quote: Reboot and you should see an ra0 interface when you run the command 'ifconfig'

i am trying to get skylink 802.1n usb wirless adapter working under ubuntu 10.4 lts.https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTowell, it seemed to see something at first:

I cannt get connection of my WIFI modem on UBUNTU 9.10(new installed) but it works on ubuntu 9.04(installed through WUBI.exe) without any driver. below is my lsusb report on UBUNTU 9.10

I have an EEEPC 1000HE that has an AzureWave AW-NE766 wireless card. As far as I know, the card is based on the Ralink 2860 chipset.
It always worked fine under eeebuntu 3.0, but I just installed Ubuntu NBR 10.4 and now it's not detected at all.
Kernel : 2.6.32-22-generic i686
lspci and lshw show no mention of wireless card at all. Network-manager and wicd both show wired connections, but no mention of wireless at all.
I followed the instructions on the "Solved" post to install the latest Ralink driver from Jan 29. It all went fine, except "ifconfig wlan0 up/down" and "ifconfig ra0 up/down" both return "ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device"
how to tell Ubuntu that I have a wireless card in there?
I bought an USB-WLAN stick, which does not recognize any network. A Ralink 802.11 bg WLAN Stick works fine, but the Ralink 802.11 n WLAN Stick does not work unfortunately. Both get recognized by the nm-applet of network manager but only the first one recognizes my network and is able to connect to it.

Just built a new computer and I think I somehow need to activate my wireless card to get it working.The hardware seems to show up. I get "Wireless Networks" in my network manager but it is grayed out and says disconnected. I think it is an easy fix I just cannot find it.
[Code]...
Ralink's drivers for wireless adapters [url] with .dat-file to configure default properties of used WiFi adapter (at my case - RT2870.dat).
Example is below.
I'd want to fine tune adapters (I have two of them) to get maximum performance for streams between two WiFi clients connected to my router (JWNR2000 at my case).
At the moment I have changed WirelessMode=6 to force 802.11n mode (and it does work). Speed between WiFi-clients is about 3MB/s now. I want more How to?
Code:
I have new emachine 1401 and I can't get it to connect to wireless. It does detect networks but when connecting keeps asking for password over and over and never connects. I don't have wired connection at all and the wifi router is not managed by me, so I'm retyping output through my windows xp samsung netbook which works over the same wireless network...
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.
[Code]..
I installed the driver from Ralink (2011_0406_RT5390_RT5392_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO) and followed the instructions in other threads and my card does not work. I am getting this message.
"$ dmesg | grep -e rt5 -e wlan
[ 14.454006] rt5390sta: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel. I have also installed the Ralink RutilT program using synaptic. I can see my wireless device and many others around me but I can't connect.
I just purchased a RALINK WIRELESS G PCMCIA WIFI CARD VISTA/LINUX (UBUNTU).
It is supposed to be UBUNTU plug and play out of the box with no driver downloads needed.
I installed it but could not find a way to search the active Wi-Fi networks available like on my Actiontec card on windows xp. The wireless router/ethernet I have is an Actiontec setup for Qwest-DSL and Actiontec is the name of the wireless network.
Strangely I tried to choose setup a "new network" and entered Actiontec as the network name and it found the network and said it was connected to it. However the internet still is not working?
Has anyone ever heard of this card or have knowledge of how to configure it to allow me to get on the internet?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Acer Aspire One ZG5, which is running (Desktop Version) 10.04. I've been happily using the built in wifi adapter, but now I've got a new wireless hub that supports 802.11n and I want to exploit the higher connection speed. I've bought a wireless usb that has no external markings, however, using 'lsusb' I've managed to establish it contains ralink 3070. Any ideas how I get this to work? When I plug in the wireless dongle from another laptop I get two connections available for use in network manager, but when I plug this one in nothing seems to happen.

this is my first attempt to get into Linux (10.04 Lucid Lynx), and I'm eager to learn. The problem is however that i can't connect to the internet using my USB wifi dongle (Jensen 25150). I've tried what this link says:I've tried to blacklist rt2800usb, rt2x00lib, rt2x00usb and rt2870sta and to load "/etc/modules/rt3070sta", but no luck in that, so I simply do not know what to do next. Perhaps I haven't blacklisted them the right way? I've typed in the commands and saved Gedit and closed it. Is that the right way?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just want to setup adhoc network using the wireless card that came with the box but I'm having a hard time getting it up. I have gone through a lot of posts about wireless troubleshooting but nothing has solved it. Left clicking the network manager tray icon always says wireless network is disconnected. "Enable Wireless" is checked.
Some info:
