Ubuntu Networking :: Railink Rt2870 Won't Connect In 11.04
Jun 28, 2011
I have a Sparklan WUBR-502GN USB dongle with the RT2870 chip. It has worked, (with a little effort) of previous installs of 9.04, 9.10, 10.04 and 10.10. However it refuses to work in 11.04. I followed the same procedures, (blacklisting, confirming device ID, modifying config.mk and rt_linux.h, sudo make & make install and removing staging/rt2870), outlined in past forum articles and that worked in the previous RCs, but the connection to my home network will not complete. Has something changed in 11.04 that is substantially different from past releases?
P.S. the only thing I haven�t done, since 11.04 was only installed moments before, is do the build essential and headers.

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.

I've compiled and installed my rt2870sta.ko and the firmware to the correct locations but my ubuntu 10.10 is loading the one under
/lib/modules/2.6.38-25-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/rt2870/rt2870sta.ko.
How do I get it to use the correct driver? I've attached a screenshot of the module info.

I am very new to Ubuntu and if I could get internet I'm sure I would love it as it appears very speedy! I don't want to resort to reloading Windows just because of this!I've managed to install the RT2870.inf driver for my Belkin wireless adaptor but couldn't install the sys file. Hence my adaptor still won't work - well I think this is why but hoping someone can enlighten me step by step.

Alright yall, I just got my wireless usb device to work on ubuntu 10.10. I did alot of searching and I finally figured it out. this is what I did.
1.Download the linux drivers from this post, its called Ralink_RT3572USB_drv2400.zip
2.Extract them to a directory.
3.Make sure you have build-essential installed on your computer. you can do this by opening a terminal
and typing
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
4.Now install linux headers so that you can compile the drivers.
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
5.Now in your terminal goto where you extracted the Ralink_RT3572USB_drv2400 files.
once in that directory type

I'm trying to install the rt2870 driver on my server running Ubuntu Server 8.04. I've installed build-essential, checkinstall, cvs, subversion, git-core, mercurial... After uncompressing the tarball, doing a "sudo make" gives me this output:

I tried getting a Belkin USB Wireless adapter:N150 to work in a fresh installation of 10.4 with no success. After reading several forum posts I tried both solutions with ndiswrapper and the XP driver and with the Ralink native driver with no luck.
Code:

my wireless adapter(WUSB600N) doesn't run when I log in. The driver is loaded on start-up but the green light is not on the adapter. I have to physically disconnect the adapter and plug it back in to get it recognised and it works fine afterwards

since the release of the 2.6.32.14-127 kernel a couple of days ago I can't use my wireless adapter (rt2870 based) since there isn't a kmod-rt2870 package released for this kernel.Normaly I found that the kmod package was available the same day as the kernel. Does anyone know why there is such a delay this time? Or if there is a workaround

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.

I am new to Fedora have not used it in many years. I have zero networking knowledge. I read several threads on getting the RT 2870 USB connection working. But had no joy after install the three rt2870 kmod items from RPMFusion and rebooting. get this first step in networking done right?

I have a Linksys wusb600n v.2/rt2870 that Ubuntu isn't dececting ndiswrapper is installed and appears to have taken well to the XP drivers but the card itself is still not being detected. I looked at the Linux drivers for it but i have no idea how to install the tar.tar.something file(i cant even find the ralink site anymore).to rest of the process. I even managed to make my way up to the library to get a couple of books but the latest one was written in 2006. I installed root and tryed a few commands but nothing made sence.

I have installed the Fedora 14, and a Dlink usb wireless adapter (DWA-125) with rt2870 chipset, but this one isn't working with my OS.
I typed the lsusb command
Code:
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 07d1:3c0d D-Link System DWA-125 Wireless N 150 Adapter(rev.A1) [Ralink RT2870]
I downloaded the drivers from YUM, the rt2870 and also kmod-rt2870. I thing that this step is ok.
I typed the dmesg | grep 2870 command
Code:
[21421.956342] usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2870
When I open the /proc/modules file, it shows the line bellow
rt2870sta 542230 0 - Live 0xffffffffa02fc000

I have a Ralink rt2870 chip. Since it did not work with 11.2 out of the box (should it not be in the kernel?), I had to install this driver from the software search area on opensuse.org:
After installing it, it works, but only at reduced speed, (I think), because when keeping the mouse over the list item (of that connection) in Network Manager, a window pops up saying I only have 54Mbit/s.
It says:
Type: WiFI
Interface: ra
Hardware adress: 00:15: .....
Driver: usb
Status: connected
Bit rate: 54 Mbit/s

I just installed the Fedora 12 live CD, but the driver for my EnGenius EUB 9801 (rt2870) USB WiFi adapter is not installed. I tried some of the suggestions found on this forum, but since I'm new at Linux I haven't yet been successful with installing the driver.
Does anyone know if the much larger DVD ISO already contains the driver built-in for the rt2870 for Fedora? If so I'm thinking it would be easier (for me) to just download the DVD ISO and re-install FC12 using that to get my WiFi USB adapter working.

I have been searching through the forums and looked at this SDB:ASUS WL-160N USB Wireless Adapter - openSUSE and I am still having problems getting my ralink rt2870 wireless adapter working.
I compiled the driver from source and when I tried to use insmod it said rt2870sta.ko already exists. So I thought it should be working. I did an lsmod to see if it had started up and rt2870sta showed up as having been loaded, however so did rt2800usb rt2x00usb and rt2x00lib. I have tried starting up the computer with these blacklisted but that didn't help anything. As of now the rt2800usb seems to be controlling my wireless card. Using iwconfig the chip shows up as wlan0 instead of ra0 but iwlist scan appears to be working although my network isn't showing up. I have copied RT28670STA.dat to /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat and configured it as well. Running lsusb the chip shows up as simply Linksys (it is a linksys adapter with ralink chipset).

I am using a Sparklan WUBR-505N abgn USB dual band stick for the wireless connection on one of my Fedora 12 laptops. I have an Apple Airport Extreme BaseStation that can advertise
a 5GHz connection ie it broadcasts two sids... The network manger only see the 'regular' sid and the usb stick only connects in the 2.4GHZ frequencies. Does the rt2870 driver support the 5GHz frequencies? If so how can I force a 5GHz connection?

I seem to be missing some step(s) for getting an interface to appear in the output of ifconfig and
iwconfig for a RT2870 wireless USB 802.11n adapter (made by Panda Wifi). Let me step you
through what's I've done thus far.
After plugging the device in, it's low-level identification is as follows (see bold):
root@xps720# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:0b06 Logitech, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870 Wireless Adapter
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

This is a mutation of; Help, my wireless .... I read the stickies and hope to provide enough info. Because we had problems getting a Linksys device working (it worked, but after that it failed) on openSUSE 11.3, my friend (the system owner) bought a Eminent EM4554 Wifi 150N forgetting to ask me to look in the HCL. On looking through the Eminent web-site I discovered they have a Linux tarball for it, but I prefer to look for an openSUSE ready solution first. The tarball showed that it is about a Ralink RT2870 chipset.
lsusb:
Code:
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp. I added the download.opensuse.org/repositories/driver:/wireless/openSUSE_11.3/ and the update of that repos. On starting YaST > Software > Software Management it offered several packages for installation that all seemed related to this subject and came from those repos, so I installed them. I did not install the ralink-firmware package because that warned that it would remove the kernel-firmware package.

After having my usb wifi adapters working fine for some time, they stopped working and I can not get network connectivity.
Some one else was using my box and they reported seeing a kernel panic and then rebooted the box. Now there is no connectivity through the wifi interfaces.
I have seen the kernel panics related to this driver before, but usually a reboot has no ill effect.
Code:
root@Algalon:~# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 RTxx70 Wireless ESSID:"a800" Nickname:"RT3070STA"
Mode:Managed Frequency=2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:0B:86:9A:08:80
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s

I am trying to setup a dhcp server for my internal network. I have two NICs, a modem, and a wireless router. I have my server connected directly to my modem which is providing me with Internet access on eth1 and is working fine. I have dhcp and dns setup on eth0 which is connected to my router. The router shows that it is connected to the Internet but when the router gives a client computer an IP address, the client is unable to connect to the Internet but can connect to the router. I will post my configuration files below with my current configuration.

I had put my computer on standby and when i restarted it, it powered off within a few seconds. I turned it back on and after that i've lost connectivity to internet on Ubuntu 10.04.
However I have VMware (XP) installed and internet/network works on that. I'm a newbie with Linux.
Here are some outputs:
I have tried to edit the connection using System>Preferences>Network Connections. I entered manual settings for IPV4, but whatever i enter there, it doesnt get reflected when i type ifconfig in the terminal window. I tried setting it to Automatic DHCP as well. Doesnt work.
