Revo R3700 Ubuntu 11.04 and rtl3090 wireless

**Scorpuk** · July 9th, 2011

Cant seem to get this to work.

Have done the following:

Downloaded rt3090-dkms_2.4.0.4-0ubuntu0~ppa0_all.deb from here https://launchpad.net/~markus-tisoft...7Eppa0_all.deb

Which I installed successfully with:

Code:

sudo dpkg -i rt3090-dkms_2.4.0.4-0ubuntu0~ppa0_all.deb

Added the following to my blacklist:

...
blacklist rt2800pci
blacklist rt2860sta

and then added rt3090sta to /etc/modules

Further info:

Code:

My wireless connection is hidden and I select "wpa & wpa2 Personal" in the connect to hidden wireless network, as its wpa2 personal. Unfortunately I cannot change any of the router setting as its a works one, but I can connect no probs with any other windows computer.

So far this is the only problem I know stopping me upgrading my mythtv server and frontends.

Any help would be appreciated.
