Ubuntu 10.04 using the Ralink RT2860 WiFi chipset (e.g. EeeBox B202)

Why Not Run 11.10?

Edit: nvm, I see your re: was to someone else

[cottfcfan]

Well you're using exactly the same wireless card as me.
rt2800pci is loading which is what 11.10 is using to connect.
Don't you see any networks at all when you click your Network icon?

[jameswm]

I took a suggestion and blacklisted acer_wmi and it helped nothing. Also, "Enable Wireless" is grayed out. Also, "Enable Wireless" is grayed out.

Looking at your lsmod & lspci, you shouldn't need to blacklist anything.
It may be though that now you have tried installing the rt3090sta driver from Ralink, you're wireless is screwed.
This guide only really works well on 10.04 with the 2.6.32 kernel.
Like I said this card should have worked out of the box in both 11.04 & 11.10.
If you boot into the live CD, and click the wireless icon, do you see any networks at all?

Yes, I'm using 11.10. It didn't work on 10.04, or 11.04, or 11.10.
I don't know what to do. D:

Please let us see:

iwconfig
sudo iwlist scan
md5sum /lib/firmware/rt2860.bin
dmesg | grep rt2

Thanks.

md5sum /lib/firmware/rt2860.bin

And how about the other two I requested?

[jameswm]

Oh, sorry. I copy/pasted all the commands at once and thought that would work.

md5sum /lib/firmware/rt2860.bin

james@james-Lenovo-B575:~$ md5sum /lib/firmware/rt2860.bin
75a1da3caa0b1c95e81dfba207f834c6 /lib/firmware/rt2860.bin

and

dmesg | grep rt2

[jameswm]

OMG. I'm an idiot. The fix was simple. Ubuntu was set to load before the wireless card. Thank you SO much for your time, and I'm sorry you wasted it.

Glad it's working and I was happy to help.
