You have downloaded the RT3070 package instead of the RT2860 one

I've followed scokem's recipe for building a new rt2860 driver. It didn't help. I've edited blacklist.conf. That didn't help either.

Once I've connected to a particular wifi point, I almost always have to reboot before I can successfully connect to any other wifi network. I see them, but my Asus Eee 1000H is failing to close the deal.

I did not have these problems under 10.04. They only developed after I upgraded to 10.10. I even did a clean installation of 10.10, but that didn't help either.

This is really annoying.

I've installed the driver and got a light on the device now (DWA-130), but I can't scan for networks and it won't connect to the SSID I've configured in the .dat file...

Crazy all about this chipset, Yet Another version of RALINK driver (20101216_RT3090_LinuxSTA_V2.4.0.4_WiFiBTCombo_DPO ) and compiling whith defaults, ii can surf interntet, blacklisting rt2XXX related modules, resulting an ar0 interface. However, i cant it manage properly, (ifconifg, macchanger, et.), no monitor mode and kismet freeze. When enable rt2xxx modules , for example for rt2800 cards, the system (asus eeepc, ubuntu 10.10, 2.6.35-23-generic) allows surfing as so far, now with wlan0 interface, but the system hangs up when the system entering suspenssion . So, i blacklisted them again, and it seems aparently stable with a only one rt3090sta module loaded (only surfing).

Works fine until step 5, when I do

sudo ifconfig wlan0 down

then I get a "no such device" error, but I know that wlan0 is the name of the device, or at least it used to be.

Thanks, I have been trying to get my ASUS 1015PEM to work on a WPA Enterprise network. The blacklist steps in post 1 were sufficient to get it working.

Thanks. This worked for me.

It may have been changed to ra0. My wifi used to be wlan0 and now it is ra0 with the new driver.

Hello,

I'm having the same problem as described by the original poster.

I've downloaded the RT2860 driver from Ralink's website, but when I try to make I get [linux] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic'
make: *** [LINUX] Error 2
ben@due:~/Desktop/DPO_RT3070_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.2_20100412$

Any ideas what is stopping this?

I get this same Error 2. I too am trying to compile a different module, because I understand from another thread that the rt2870sta is the appropriate one for my D-Link DWA-130. My HW version is E1 and my FW version is 5.10.

Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this make error, or whether the 2860 will work with this card?

Regarding the error, the first warning I get is

~/temp/2010_0709_RT2870_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1/os/linux/../../common/crypt_aes.c: In function ‘AES_GTK_KEY_WRAP’:

The first error I see is

I'm also getting this error :
