    Re: Ralink RT3562 Oneiric 11.10 driver install guide

    All Fixed now: See post #14. Many thanks to the good people on this forum.

    Good Day all.
    [System: 11.10 64bit]
    I've followed this guide and the related link (http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-instal...-card-on-linux).

    In the initial tests I got these answers:
    0d:01.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. Device 3062
    0d:01.0 0280: 1814:3062

    I downloaded the following:
    DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217

    make and install with updates as required:
    sudo modprobe rt3562sta
    sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
    blacklist rt2800pci
    blacklist rt2800lib
    blacklist rt2800usb
    blacklist rt2x00pci
    blacklist rt2x00lib
    blacklist rt2x00usb

    After the install and a restart, the Wireless option is completely disappeared and an extra wired has appeared.
    I ran these tests as, with the results shown.

    :~$ ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net | grep rt
    virtio_net.ko

    :~$ lsmod | grep rt
    parport_pc 36962 0
    rt3562sta 986394 1
    parport 46562 3 parport_pc,ppdev,lp

    What is virtio_net?
    I still have wired connectivity but no sign of wireless.
    Can you help? I get the feeling some fundamental mistake has been made!!
    Graham.

    Re: Ralink RT3562 Oneiric 11.10 driver install guide

    As a work-around for the driver install you can add the lines directly to the file, instead of step 9, backup your file (this is important, I've learned it the hard way) and then try
    Code:

    sudo echo 'blacklist rt2800pci' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
    sudo echo 'blacklist rt3562sta' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

    this will append the lines to the end of the file directly
    Is the second line refering to "rt3562sta" in the above extract incorrect?
    I have removed it from my 'Blacklist' because I think it's what we want.

    Asking The Question:
    lsmod | grep rt3562
    gives me
    rt3562sta 986394 0
    I don't know what this means but it differs from the last time when I used the general form?

    Still I have no referance to wireless, the wireless section being replaced by a second wired as attached.

    Hi Graham, sorry I haven't been on in a while, but glad to hear you got it working. Yes, you're right that is a mistake, we don't want to blacklist the module we're trying to install! what I should have written is this (thanks to everyone who pointed out the full list)


    sudo echo "blacklist rt2800pci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
    sudo echo "blacklist rt2800pci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
    sudo echo "blacklist rt2800usb" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
    sudo echo "blacklist rt2x00pci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
    sudo echo "blacklist rt2x00lib" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
    sudo echo "blacklist rt2x00usb" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

    Re: Ralink RT3562 Oneiric 11.10 driver install guide

    [On Ubuntu 12.04]

    Hi,

    I followed the steps given on the first page, with the exception that I downloaded the RT3290 driver from here, and added further drivers to the blacklist as given on the squidoo page mentioned earlier.

    When I click on 'additional drivers' in Settings, it shows that rt3290sta is "activated and currently in use". However, while "Wireless Networks" is now showing up under the connections manager (it didn't before the driver was installed), no wireless networks appear (while they are clearly visible on a laptop sitting next to this one).

    I'm wondering if it may be related to the wireless toggle switch on my keyboard: I have a Dreambook, and the guy at the store mentioned that this may be an issue.

    Any tips for what to try next? Thanks for any help you can offer!

    Hi,

    I'm not familiar with the dreambook, but it sounds like the driver's working fine, but your wireless capabilities are just switched off. As far as I know there's a setting to turn off wireless to maximize battery life. Poke around in the settings to see if you can find something to that effect.

    If that's not the case, and it's not picking up wireless signals anywhere, it might be a more general software problem. Make sure you're using the latest version of the OS, available here
    ftp://service.pioneer.net.au/Manuals/Update.pdf
    As the updates may fix whatever is causing it.

    If this doesn't work, and it picks up some wireless signals, just not yours, it might be something to do with the encryption. Try setting your router up to broadcast with no password, and see if it fixes the problem. If it does, you might need to try to change the encryption settings on your wireless router.

    Hope it helps!

    Thank you so much! I just managed to sort it out and wireless is now working fine. I'm not sure exactly which step helped, but I did install some firmware in addition to the drivers listed here.
