Ralink rt3070 wireless not working

[chili555]

I am studying this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/602213

I am disappointed that there doesn't seem to be a definitive fix, however, I suggest you try the technique in post #29. You might add to the bug report if your laptop also works as listed.

May I see:

lsmod | grep -e acpi -e wmi

Thanks.

Hi

I tried installing the package mentioned in that thread but it didn't work - still no change.
Someone suggested blacklisting rt2800usb instead of rt2870sta which I tried but had no effect.
So that's where it stands at the moment.

The output that you asked for:

clare@clare-laptop:~$ lsmod | grep -e acpi -e wmi
snd_rawmidi 19056 1 snd_seq_midi
snd_seq_device 5700 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi ,snd_seq
snd 54180 16 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec, snd_hwdep,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_se q_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device

Thanks for your time

Is this any help?

This issue still effects me running 10.10 after an upgrade. Wireless does work if I activate the wireless hotkey during the bootsplash.

What does this tell us?

rfkill list all
sudo rfkill unblock all

Thanks.

Hi
I tried using the hotkey while it was booting but it didn't make any difference.

This is what I got with the code:

clare@clare-laptop:~$ rfkill list all
clare@clare-laptop:~$ sudo rfkill unblock all
[sudo] password for clare:
clare@clare-laptop:~$

which doesn't seem like it would be much help??
Assuming that it was meant to output something that is!!

Anyone got any other ideas?

I had the exact same issue and figured out that it works if you activate WLAN (it's disabled per default on the x10, press Fn+F2 to change that) and then restart network-manager. See this bug report.
