Would you both please open a terminal and run and post:

lsb_release -d
lspci -nn | grep 0280

The pipe symbol | is on the right side of my US keyboard on the same key with \. Thanks.

I love a challenge and so will you, I hope. This is a relatively new device and we are going to have to experiment a bit. Please download RT539x PCIe here: http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_supp...ort.php?sn=501

Download it to your desktop. Right-click it and select 'extract here.' It is handily a bz2.bz2 file, so you may have to 'extract here' a couple of times. Good work, Ralink! Now open a terminal and, with an internet connection, do:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential

Open the folder you extracted and drill down to os/linux/config.mk and with a text editor change:

HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y

Proofread, save and close the text editor. Now open the file os/linux/pci_main_dev.c with a text editor. Make the addition I've highlighted here:

#ifdef RT5390
	{PCI_DEVICE(NIC_PCI_VENDOR_ID, NIC5390_PCIe_DEVICE_ID)},
	{PCI_DEVICE(NIC_PCI_VENDOR_ID, NIC539F_PCIe_DEVICE_ID)},
	{PCI_DEVICE(NIC_PCI_VENDOR_ID, NIC5392_PCIe_DEVICE_ID)},
	{PCI_DEVICE(NIC_PCI_VENDOR_ID, NIC5362_PCI_DEVICE_ID)},
        {PCI_DEVICE(NIC_PCI_VENDOR_ID, NIC5360_PCI_DEVICE_ID)},
#endif /* RT5390 */

Everything before and after is unchanged. Spacing, punctuation, brackets, etc. are crucial. Proofread carefully twice before you save and close the text editor. Now back to the terminal:

cd Desktop/2011

Press Tab and the rest will fill in automagically. Press Enter.

sudo su
make
make install
modprobe rt5390sta
echo rt5390sta >> /etc/modules
exit

Your wireless should now be working.

Thanks a million, chili555, worked wonderfully!

Ok, so I have the same problem of installing the required driver BUT for Ubuntu 12.04.

Can anyone explain what the following piece of code does?

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential

I cannot connect to the internet via ethernet and hence need to know whether I can skip this step (or how to do it without internet).

Thanks

Thanks a lot!! I've installed the D-Link N 150 PCI DWA-525 Ralink 5360 Wifi adapter in Lubuntu 12.04 as stated above, in the #5 post of this thread!!

Now the RT539x PCIe driver can be downloaded from http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_downl...il.php?sn=5001

Yes, indeed! Please be aware, all you searchers, that the package referred to is a 2011 version. It will probably compile just fine in Ubuntu 10.04 but not in 12.04 and later.
