Sorry, I have no more ideas.

Hi, I'm very very new to Linux.

I did everything as said in post n°9, still not working. I copied and pasted some commands you put inthis post earlier in the terminal. Here is what i got:

dmesg | grep 539

I own a HP DM1-3060la netbook.

Please add to the thread. Include:

lspci -nn | grep 0280
rfkill list all
modinfo rt5390sta

Also confirm that you made the changes in os/linux/config.mk. Thanks.

About the changes in os/linux/config.mk I did exactly as said in the post n°9, BUT my config.mk file did not have the "HAS_ANTENNA_DIVERSITY_SUPPORT", so I wrote it down manually.

Hope you can Help me.

Did you do all the patches here? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...8&postcount=24

I believe if you have the latest version of the driver, 2.5.0.3, and the latest kernel, 2.6.38-xx, the patches are not required.

[MiracleCat]

Update made on post.

[MiracleCat]

Yes I did all the patches.

Do you have the .bz2 file you downloaded on your desktop? Let's start fresh. Right-click your desktop and create a folder; let's call it test. Drag and drop the .bz2 into test. Open test and right-click the .bz2 and select Extract Here. Open os/linux/config.mk and only make these changes:

Please set 'HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y' and 'HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y'.

Then do:

cd Desktop/test/2010_1216_RT5390_LinuxSTA_V2.5.0.3_WiFiBTCombo_DPO
sudo su
cp RT2860STA.dat RT5390STA.dat
cp RT5390STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT5390STA
make clean
make
make install
modprobe rt5390sta
exit

Now is your wireless working?

[MiracleCat]

I'd like to point out that my file from Ralink is called: 2011_0406_RT5390_RT5392_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO_GPL .bz2

I'll do the sae procedure with this file and i'll let you know.

[MiracleCat]

Yes sir, wireless is working and im posting through it.

Thank you so much, I don't know much about linux.

I really appreciate your help.

[chili555]

Glad it's working! Have fun.

Hi. I bought a HP g4 Pavilion at the end of July and had success in getting my wireless to work in 11.04 through these forums. However, I used Update Manager to update my software earlier this evening, which I believe caused my wireless to stop working after I restarted it. I think it is because there is a conflict with one of the updates. Is there way to check for this and eliminate the conflict?
