Ralink 5390 / 11.04 / Compaq presario CQ56

[princecold]

What, exactly didn't work? Were you able to compile the driver without errors? Were you able to modprobe the driver without errors? Did a wireless interface, ra0 or wlan0 get created? When you click the Network manager icon, do you see your network? Does it try to connect?

May we have some details to work with?

It compile correctly but with many warnigs and I am sorry I don't know how to modprobe the driver

[chili555]

Please do:

sudo modprobe rt5390sta

Any warnings, errors, etc.? Now do you have a wireless interface, perhaps wlan0 or ra0?

iwconfig

Can you click the Network Manager icon and see your network and connect?

If there are errors or warnings when you modprobe, please note them and post them.

Can you please confirm that you did this step?

navigate to os > linux and open the file config.mk with a text editor. Make sure that the following are set:

HAS_ATE=y
HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y
HAS_ANTENNA_DIVERSITY_SUPPORT=y

Also, please make me a complete diagnostic. We are going to create a text file, zip it and attach it to your reply. Please reboot so we have a clean slate and do:

dmesg > prince.txt
lsmod >> prince.txt
lspci -nn | grep 0280 >> prince.txt
sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep etwork | tail -n25 >> prince.txt
zip prince.zip prince.txt

You will find the file prince.zip in your user directory. Attach it to your reply using the paperclip tool at the top of the reply box. Thanks.

I open the config.mk and copy paste waht you said but I don't know if it works like that and i try to make the diagnostic text but I got this msg
alejandro@ubuntu:~$ dmesg > prince.txt
alejandro@ubuntu:~$ lsmod >> prince.txt
alejandro@ubuntu:~$ lspci -nn | grep 0280 >> prince.txt
alejandro@ubuntu:~$ sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep etwork | tail -n25 >> prince.txt

I don't quite know what you copied and pasted in config.mk. My question is, when you compiled, were those lines changed to =y before you did the make and make install steps?

alejandro@ubuntu:~$ dmesg > prince.txt
alejandro@ubuntu:~$ lsmod >> prince.txt
alejandro@ubuntu:~$ lspci -nn | grep 0280 >> prince.txt
alejandro@ubuntu:~$ sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep etwork | tail -n25 >> prince.txt

This looks just fine! Did you look in your user directory and find the file called prince.zip? I need to see it. Please attach it to your reply using the paperclip tool at the top of the reply box. Thanks.

no I didn't change them I did the make directly thanks for the help

Well, you didn't read the file conspicuously named README? You didn't follow directions and it doesn't work as expected??

Do not copy and paste anything. Go into the config.mk file and with a text editor, change the lines:

# Support Wpa_Supplicant
HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=n


# Support Native WpaSupplicant for Network Maganger
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n

to read like this:

# Support Wpa_Supplicant
HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y


# Support Native WpaSupplicant for Network Maganger
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y

Everything else in the file is unchanged. Proofread carefully, save and close the text editor. Now we re-compile. In a terminal, please do:

cd Desktop/2011_0406_RT5390_RT5392_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO_GPL

Substitute the location you downloaded the file if not desktop.

sudo su
rmmod -f rt5390sta
make clean
make
make install
modprobe rt5390sta
exit

Any improvement?
