[oldkatz]

new install of ubuntu 11.10, wifi has no driver.
i downloaded the driver, but the scan will not pick it up.
is there a special directory for the network scan to find the driver. its ralink rt 3090 built in new lenovo.

This seems to be an interesting thread:

And here is the driver mentioned in the post:

Have you plugged in an ether net cable, gotten online, got updates and checked 'Additional Drivers' (or 'Hardware Drivers' depending on release)?

Please post the result of this:

sudo lshw -C network

Thanks.

What driver did you install???

Hi.
As 2F4U mentions the thread has some solutions, the one i posted in post #20, and the one in post #71 -They both work in 11.10
I have had both of then working in 12.04 but for some unknown reason the easy one in #20 did not work after i upgraded til 12.04 for good. I get the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/896582
So now i use the solutin #20, it works fine.
