I'm trying to get an Edimax EW-7318USg working on my system. I searched online to make sure it worked well with Linux before purchasing it (says it should work "out of the box" here), and now I'm thoroughly frustrated with it. When I plug it in, nothing happens, NetworkManager does nothing with it. So off to find the source, try to compile and install it, and I can't get it to work.
First, I tried following these instructions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=836577
But then I couldn't find the driver source (as linked to in the thread), so looked around for different instructions.
Next, I tried following these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...rt73_driver%29
I downloaded the "RT2501USB(RT73:RT2571W/RT2573/RT2671" driver (here) and got down to the spot of running "sudo modprobe rt73", at which point my computer froze. Now if the Edimax is plugged into the USB port, my computer will either not boot or instantly freeze. (UPDATE: Decided to do a clean reinstall of Ubuntu.)
Help?
