Hi all,
I bought a wireless network usb key today but i cant get it to work
The key is a Hercules HWNU-300
My current system is karmic amd64 with 2.6.31-14-generic kernel, fully updated. No other Wifi is present in the system
I followed this tutorial via a link on the french ubuntu forum but no joy.
He tested ndiswrapper and others without result and based his howto after contacting the manufacturer Hercules on the Ralink RT2870USB chipset with either the 2.2.0.0 patch or the experimental 2.6.31 with the following code:
Code:
cd *RT2870_Linux_STA*
patch -p0 < hwnu300.patch
sudo make && sudo make install
sudo modprobe rt2870sta
and then to configure manually the device in
/etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat
I tried both patches without result, the procedure as he mentions goes without trouble, except for the fact that the folder /etc/Wireless/ doesnt exist/ isnt created.
In the replies at the bottom there is talk that as from kernel 2.6.27 the chipset was integrated already...
So it looks like i'm not the only one having trouble getting this device up & running. Almost all info is in french (making it somewhat harder to read for me ), but also there isn't a fullproof how to just yet so it seems.
Any ideas here on the main forum?
