You will need to download and compile the rt5372 driver. Please let me know if you need guidance. I have trouble gauging the experience level of posters.

i downloaded the driver from http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_supp...ort.php?sn=501
now i untar it using this command in the terminal:
tar 2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2 .5.0.3_DPO.tar.bz2 ?
Just getting started with ubuntu a have a fairly good grasp on the basics though
Appreciate your time and help:)
Be certain you have installed linux-headers-generic and build-essential.If you see the package on your desktop, you can simply right-click it and select Extract Here.Quote:

I'm trying to help you not very much because I suspect part of the university homework experience is learning by doing and not learning to copy and paste from Chili.
Already installed both of them. i extracted the tar and now i have the folder with all the contents in it. Can you please guide me through the compile process?Quote:

Actually the usb wireless installation has nothing to do with the assignment. I just need it because i am making a network monitor app in java , and i need a wireless interface(already made the ethernet monitoring) to check the functionality. The usb configuration is just a bump in the road;p I just suspected that on ubuntu 12.04 this sort of problem wouldn't have happened, i dont know if thats the case
That would be wonderful, however, manufacturers make new devices, re-write faulty drivers, adapt to dual-band N, et al faster than we can keep up. I will never run out of questions to answer until the coroner shows up.Quote:

Does it require that the device go into monitor mode like Kismet? Not all wireless devices do monitor mode.Quote:

Give it a try. I'll be back soon.
I dont think so. I just need it to show up on my wireless list so i can get some characteristics with iwconfig, iwlist etc.Quote:

Any progress to report? Success?
afraid not:/ i cant seem to figure out the configuration of the files that the readme suggests i do. some names don't correspond to the files i have downloaded and the whole thing seems too much for a guy who's been plug and playing for a long time on windows:/
