from within the extracted directory try

Code:

sudo cp RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat

restart your computer. If it still doesn't work can you tell me what the output of the following commands are.

Code:

lshw -C network

Code:

iwconfig

Code:

modinfo rt2870sta

Code:

lsusb

It workś, great, now I have a N connection.

Thanks Cue2.

Help,
I'm having similar problems.
At first I was getting a network connection some of the time in that the joggler would never connect on power up and would eventually prompt me for my network keys which it then took a while to reject or accept.Or I could select my network from the network manager and again it would sometimes accept this or sometimes eventually reject this.
Interestingly enough, if I selected my neibours network it rejected that immediately.

I tried the suggestion above, but now I can't get a network connection at all.

(Not the end of the world, I have a backup of the USB stick).

My output from the mentioned commands is as follows

Any help in getting a consistently working network (which ideally automatically connects on boot) much appreciated.

Many thanks,
Jedster

Feel free to jump on this bug:

Maybe the more attention this bug gets, the sooner we'll get someone to sort this out.

**Jedster** · May 31st, 2010

I'm not convinced that's my problem (although I may be wrong).
Firstly I'm at 9.10 and secondly I've already got those devices blacklisted.

Thanks,
Jedster.

**Jedster** · June 3rd, 2010

I think I've found a workable solution to this.
Forget Network Manager and use WICD!!
I haven't got it auto connecting yet (probably because my SSID is currently hidden), but once I tell it to go find my hidden SSID it usually finds it and then I'm able to connect to it.

That'll do for now.

Hello,

Sorry for bumping up an one year old thread, but I have an problem with my onboard usb wireless n from Asus.

Thank you for the guide Cue2, but I can't build the downloaded drivers.
When I make the driver I get this:

Any ideas how to get this driver to build?

The build issue is solved by here:

But it is still not working.

Anyone any idea how to get wifi working?

Are there any errors or warnings when you load the module?

Code:

sudo modprobe rt2870sta

Any interesting messages here?

Code:

dmesg | grep -i rt2

Thanks.
