Let's have a look at:

dmesg | grep -i rt2
iwconfig

Thanks.

[Rey117]

OK..this is what i get:
rey@rey-laptop:~$ dmesg | grep -i rt2

Did you also try ndiswrapper? You should definitely not have both an ra0 and a wlan0. Let's see:

lsmod | grep ndis

If ndiswrapper is loaded, please do:

sudo ndiswrapper -e rt2870

Now reboot and let's see how your wireless is working.

[Rey117]

rey@rey-laptop:~$ lsmod | grep ndis
rndis_wlan 24261 0
rndis_host 7236 1 rndis_wlan
cdc_ether 4309 1 rndis_host
usbnet 18052 3 rndis_wlan,rndis_host,cdc_ether
cfg80211 148386 4 rndis_wlan,iwlagn,iwlcore,mac80211
and
sudo ndiswrapper -e rt2870
[sudo] password for rey:
couldn't delete /etc/ndiswrapper/rt2870: No such file or directory

[Rey117]

No luck on the reboot

Do you have an internal wireless card, also? An Intel?

I don't understand this at all:

Error: Driver 'rt2870' is already registered, aborting...

[Rey117]

Yes I do. but i got it working now. i had to sudo ifconfig ra0 up and bring down my wlan0 and reboot...I really really appreciate your help thank you.

[chili555]

May I see:

lsmod
sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo iwconfig ra0 mode managed
iwconfig

[chili555]

Yes I do. but i got it working now. i had to sudo ifconfig ra0 up and bring down my wlan0 and reboot...I really really appreciate your help thank you.

Terrific! Glad it's working.
