Hi, I have the Edimax EW-7711 and no luck bringing it to live.

I tried to follow this (on Ubuntu 10.10) and while running the make install of the driver, I got the error message above. Any suggestions please? I'm stuck.

(running both make and make install as root)

edit: http://www.ralinktech.com/license_us...V3TVRJeE53PT1D

I installed the new one that you postet in another thread, and the make, make install went allright,

but when I try running the driver, it says not found - how do I find the proper name of the driver?

[eurik]

Found the module /lib/modules/2.6.35_25_generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt3562sta.ko but still getting the same error message - not found?!

Been a while since I've been on here, but I just built a new system with an Atom D510 to use on my model railroad, and Ubuntu seemed like a natural. Since I have no way to do wired ethernet in the location where this machine will be, I picked up the Rosewill RNX-N250 card with the RT3062 chip. Basically after reading this and other threads which indicated that I would indeed be able to get it to work with 10.10.
Machine build and install went fine, today I tried to follow the steps in this thread line by line - and got errors. Particularly, the sudo modprobe rt3562sta.ko reported that the file did not exist. However, I proceeded onward and added the blacklist entry for the RT2800PCI and rebooted - AND IT WORKED. I am wirelessly connecting just fine.
I really can't explain, or even figure out how it would ever work when an important step clearly fails, but it does. So take heart if the process results in an error, it may not be as critical as it appears. In the README file included with the downloaded driver files mentions using insmod, and I tried that, but that told me the module was already there. That's why I decided to move on and add the blacklist and give it a try. I'm sure there's some really dumb reason it worked anyway, but I am by no means a Linux expert. My first taste was way back at 0.89a but I haven't been a regular user that entire time.

sudo modprobe rt3562sta.ko

That's incorrect; it should be:

sudo modprobe rt3562sta

The file extension .ko is not required.

[rrinker]

That's incorrect; it should be:

sudo modprobe rt3562sta

The file extension .ko is not required.

Pretty sure I tried that too, same error, file does not exist.

Of course, dare I speak too soon, I applied all the latest updates once I got the box online, and when I restarted - no wireless. I repeated the make and make install steps, rebooted, and was back in business.

I followed the instructions to install the driver for my wireless adapter, but it appears that it doesn't "see" any available networks (despite being 10 feet from a working access point). Here's some info that MooPi suggested would be helpful:

lspci -v | less:

        Subsystem: RaLink Device 3060

iwlist scanning

lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.

Can someone please give me some guidance? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I also tried the "connect to a hidden wireless network" option and entered the WAP's name and WPA2 security key -- still no luck. For what it's worth, it connects just fine in Windows on the same machine.

cbutzon,
Did you have any luck getting it all working? I was having a similar issue. Everything working fine under 9.04, upgraded to 9.10, working great, upgraded to 10.04 and suddenly it was like my card working at all, not finding any wireless networks.

In some setting or other I had noticed I had a "wlan0", but I had always used my "ra0" for my wireless interface in WICD. I tried a few things first (purgeing WICD and re-installing, no change), then I simply changed the wireless interface in the WICD preferences box and it started up right away.

Hope you are up and running.

Hello

Just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and I have an Edimax EW-7711ln wireless card.

I need to get it installed and drivered so I can get online but the problem is that I don't have a network card or even a network connection on the mobo becuase it's quite old so i can't even get online with it to download any drivers.

I have a folder (don't know which version) with all the files inside.

I was following the instructions on the first post on how to install the drivers and i've checked to see if GCC is installed and it is.

Now i don't know what to do here where it says set

HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y

When i open the file in the text editor, it's just an blank empty file. Do i need to add these lines or should there be code there already?

Where can I get a driver that will work if this one is wrong or just help installing?

[interzoneuk]

AdRock952 the file should contain data already.

I have just used the DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217.tg z driver to make my add-on NWP210 work.

The file that you need to change 'HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y' is in

... say I extracted the driver in

/home/morgan/src/drivers/wlan_addon_NWP210/

I would

cd /home/morgan/src/drivers/wlan_addon_NWP210/DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217

then edit (nano / vi / text editor)

/home/morgan/src/drivers/wlan_addon_NWP210/DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217/os/linux/config.mk

initially it will have

--------------------------------
# Support ATE function
HAS_ATE=n

# Support QA ATE function
HAS_QA_SUPPORT=n

# Support XLINK mode
HAS_XLINK=n


# Support Wpa_Supplicant
HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=n

# Support Native WpaSupplicant for Network Maganger
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n

#Support Net interface block while Tx-Sw queue full

#Support DFS function

#Support Carrier-Sense function
HAS_CS_SUPPORT=n


# Support for Multiple Cards

#Support for PCI-MSI

HAS_QOS_DLS_SUPPORT=n

#Support for EXT_CHANNEL

#Support for Net-SNMP

#Support features of 802.11n Draft3
HAS_DOT11N_DRAFT3_SUPPORT=y

#Support features of Single SKU.
HAS_SINGLE_SKU_SUPPORT=n

#Support features of 802.11n
HAS_DOT11_N_SUPPORT=y

... lots more
--------------------------------

try downloading the file again

Also extract with tar xfvz DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217.tg z

- Does anyone know how to stop the ralink driver spamming dmesg?

you then need to sudo make then sudo make install btw

[AdRock952]

Thanks for your reply

I downloaded it again and was now able to edit those lines.

I ran the make and make install commands using sudo and i noticed that there were some warnings while compiling. Is that anything to worry about? It seemed to compile without any errors i think.

The problem I have now is what folder do i need to be in when i run

sudo modprobe rt3562sta

Does it create the file in the /os/linux folder?

I think i found the file there and I run that command inside of that folder but i don't know if has done anything becuase it goes back to command line with no message.

EDIT:

I think i got the driver created but i need to start it.

I went into the driver folder, used the modprobe command and got this output

FATAL Module rt3562sta.ko not found

Here is my output like other users have shown

lspci -v (only the related part)

You can run the command anywhere. Once you have the module installed globally in your system, the inner workings of the command 'modprobe' take care of that for you. If there is an error, you will be notified.

No real harm with warnings.
