Howto: Ralink RT2860 (m)PCI(e) (RT2760/RT2790/RT2860/RT2890) on Intrepid
This is a tutorial for getting Ralink's RT2760/RT2790/RT2860/RT2890-based (m)PCI(e) cards running on Intrepid with the latest Linux drivers provided on Ralink's website. You will need a wired connection to download the pertinent files.
First you are going to need the driver package, which can be downloaded from: http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Hom...ort/Linux.html
You are looking for the "RT2860PCI/mPCI/PCIe/CB(RT2760/RT2790/RT2860/RT2890)" package. Download it and save it to your home directory.
Start a terminal and install the build-essential and linux-headers packages (if you don't have them already):
Code:
sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential
Now, in your home folder untar the Ralink package:
Code:
tar -xvjf 2008_0918_RT2860_Linux_STA_v1.8.0.0.tar.bz2
Edit the 2008_0918_RT2860_Linux_STA_v1.8.0.0/os/linux/config.mk file to allow network-manager to manage the card:
Code:
gedit 2008_0918_RT2860_Linux_STA_v1.8.0.0/os/linux/config.mk
Where it says:
Quote:
# Support Wpa_Supplicant
HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y
# Support Native WpaSupplicant for Network Manager
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y
Make sure that both lines have a "y" after them (by default they have an "n"), then save the file.
Now enter the 2008_0918_RT2860_Linux_STA_v1.8.0.0 directory, compile and install the driver as root:
Code:
cd 2008_0918_RT2860_Linux_STA_v1.8.0.0/
sudo su
make && make install
It is important here not to use "sudo" alone, but "sudo su" because with sudo for some reason the installation script fails to create the necessary files and folders in among others /etc. This is what caused me some trouble before I figured it out.
Now, while still root modprobe the driver module:
Give it a minute to create the ra0 device node, and network manager should now be able to display all visible wireless networks in your area, meanwhile you can stop being root and make sure that the module was probed correctly by checking the output of lsmod looking for the rt2860sta module.
Code:
exit
lsmod | grep rt2860sta
It should output something like "rt2860sta 525400 1". To make sure that ra0 is up and running as it's supposed to you can run "iwconfig" which should output something like this:
Code:
iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth1 no wireless extensions.
ra0 RT2860 Wireless ESSID:"" Nickname:"RT2860STA"
Mode:Managed Frequency=2.412 GHz Access Point:
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Link Quality=100/100 Signal level:-29 dBm Noise level:-71 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Hopefully all of this worked and your wireless card is now functional. Use network manager to set your WEP/WPA(2) or what have you and connect to your network.
To make sure the module is loaded when you reboot, add it to the /etc/modules file:
Code:
sudo echo rt2860sta >> /etc/modules
Hopefully this will be of service to someone. :)

Thanks a ton! Works perfectly. I just installed Intrepid today and the wireless chip didn't show up in ifconfig or iwconfig. If the box didn't come with windows I wouldn't even know what chipset it was.

Re: Howto: Ralink RT2860 (m)PCI(e) (RT2760/RT2790/RT2860/RT2890) on Intrepid
I Created an account to thank you :)
I didn't see this particular line of code in all the other forum i've read: modprobe rt2860sta
Wireless Worked perfectly after running that command at the full N Speeds too! VERY Happy
My Wireless card is a ASUS WL-130N With a rt2860 chipset (Written in other places with a rt2800 but it's incorrect confirmed by it working and by RA-Link)
Finally Thank you Tass! It's saved me hours of messing about with it. :)

I'm running Xubuntu 8.10 fully updated.
Code:
patrick@Sweetums:~$ lspci | grep -i network
02:00.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2800 802.11n PCI
patrick@Sweetums:~$
Any help would be appreciated!
Just a guess. But the driver package you are trying to install is actually the wrong one for the card. Your trying to install a RT3070 driver when you should be trying to install a RT2860 Driver...?

Am I missing something? Does the upstream Debian source not work?
Code:
aptitude install module-assistant
wget -c ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/r/rt2860-source/rt2860-source_1.8.0.0-3_all.deb
dpkg -i rt2860-source_1.8.0.0-3_all.deb
m-a a-i rt2860

Thankyou or Mahalo as we say in Hawaii!
Your instructions worked on my new Asus eee box PC which came with a very limited version of Linux on it. I got a ziped version of the tar file from the RT site. So had to figure how to get it out. I am over 70 so I am not good with all these commands. But after a lot of cd commands I did it! The networkmanger informed me that it was connecting to my router. I am running Umbuntu 8.10 which I got at the book store as a magazine by that name. After the updates and trying to download other networking programs I also got my um175 Verizon cellular modem to work. I very much appreciate all you help in getting this going.
Grumpy
