hp pavillion dv2036ea this old laptop has a 802.11g wireless adapter built in. But I have new 802.11n wireless adapter (bought from ThePiHut) that I have used on this laptop which was successfully recognised when I installed Lubuntu Trusty Tahr daily build on 25-MAR-2014.
But I have now downloaded latest release Lubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr on 17-APR-2014 and when I install this version, it doesn't recognise the wireless adapter.
The wireless adapter is Ralink Tech Corp RT5370
when I run sudo lshw, I get the following results...
*-network
description: Wireless interface
physical id: 2
bus info: usb@1:6
logical name: wlan1
serial: 00:0f:55:a8:2e:38
capabilities: ethernet physical wireless
configuration: broadcast=yes driver=rt2800usb driverversion=3.13.0-24-generic firmware=0.29 link=no multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bgn
Any idea why I can't get wireless running with the latest Trusty Tahr? I don't know how to install the driver manually as I am new to Linux, but have a disc with the driver on it, in a zip file. If there are any step-by-step instructions I could try to use the terminal to install it.
any help would be appreciated.
