need some help getting drivers for a ralink wireless card

[chili555]

the ralink pci is the new wireless card

the ralink is the one that is giving me problems

I guess I am confused. Are you? Please try that again.

According to the screenshot, you have a Ralink internal built-in wireless which I understand is giving you problems. You also have a Realtek USB device. Correct? The internal is troublesome and needs to be disabled, correct? If both of these statements are correct, then my last request stands.

i can't get the ralink to connect to the internet. sorry about that i can see how that last statement could have confused you. but yes the ralink is the new card and i cannot get it to connect. it keeps asking for the router password

but yes the ralink is the new card

So this PCI device is the new one you want to get going?

Ralink Corp. RT2790 Wireless 802.11n 1T/2R PC

Then why do you have the USB at all? So you can connect and answer posts?

yeah i don't have an ethernet cable long enough to reach and the usb adapter works just not all the time. my dog got a hold of it when i first got it and chewed the part of the protects the antenna and also separated the antenna from the circuit board and i'm constantly having to reattach it along with the installing the software everytime the kernel updates i'm just finished with it

I think...I hope I have it straight now. You should therefor disregard my suggestions in post #9. In order to get an updated driver, please do:

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-cw-3.6-precise-generic

After it finishes, detach the USB, reboot and let us hear your report.

that didn't work and now it won't even let me build the driver for the realtek

[iamrandy]

you're going to think this is funny right as i was going to mark this as solved i lost connection and now it's back to the whole password thing. and i check and retyped the password several different times all to no avail

Can you confirm the USB is not inserted and also let me see:

dmesg | grep -e rt2 -e wlan
