RALink rt2070 card not able to connect
Hey guys, I've recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and am trying to get my new wireless card to connect to my network. I've read through many solutions here and tried quite a few, however I am still unable to connect to my network, I can confirm I am using the correct SSID and WPA key but instead of connecting nm-applet just cycle's me through endless authentication prompts :/.
My card is:
My system is:Code:root@HellFire:/etc/Wireless/RT2870STA# lsusb Bus 001 Device 003: ID 148f:2070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2070 Wireless Adapter
So far I've blacklisted the existing rt2800usb drivers to prevent conflicts and my blacklist file is as follows:Code:root@HellFire:/etc/Wireless/RT2870STA# uname -a Linux HellFire 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:39:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I've also rmmod'd the rt* module's to ensure they're not loaded and confirmed via:Code:root@HellFire:/etc/Wireless/RT2870STA# cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf # This file lists those modules which we don't want to be loaded by # alias expansion, usually so some other driver will be loaded for the # device instead. [snip] blacklist rt2800usb
I've downloaded drivers from RALink's Linux Support section, untar'd the tarball and I now have this:Code:root@HellFire:/home/josh/Desktop/2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO# lsmod Module Size Used by nls_iso8859_1 12713 1 nls_cp437 16991 1 vfat 17585 1 fat 61512 1 vfat uas 18027 0 usb_storage 49198 1 dm_crypt 23125 1 snd_hda_codec_hdmi 32474 4 rfcomm 47604 0 parport_pc 32866 0 ppdev 17113 0 bnep 18281 2 bluetooth 180104 10 rfcomm,bnep snd_hda_codec_realtek 223867 1 eeepc_wmi 13109 0 asus_wmi 24456 1 eeepc_wmi sparse_keymap 13890 1 asus_wmi snd_hda_intel 33773 5 snd_hda_codec 127706 3 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 13668 1 snd_hda_codec snd_pcm 97188 3 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec psmouse 87603 0 serio_raw 13211 0 sb_edac 18127 0 snd_seq_midi 13324 0 edac_core 53746 1 sb_edac snd_rawmidi 30748 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 14899 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq 61896 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_timer 29990 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 14540 3 snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq snd 78855 20 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device joydev 17693 0 mac_hid 13253 0 soundcore 15091 1 snd snd_page_alloc 18529 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm mei 41616 0 lp 17799 0 parport 46562 3 parport_pc,ppdev,lp usbhid 47199 0 hid 99559 1 usbhid nouveau 774571 3 ttm 76949 1 nouveau drm_kms_helper 46978 1 nouveau drm 242038 5 nouveau,ttm,drm_kms_helper firewire_ohci 41000 0 firewire_core 63558 1 firewire_ohci crc_itu_t 12707 1 firewire_core i2c_algo_bit 13423 1 nouveau mxm_wmi 12979 1 nouveau video 19596 1 nouveau e1000e 156693 0 wmi 19256 2 asus_wmi,mxm_wmi
I've added my device's ID to common/rtusb_dev_id.c and replaced the call to usb_buffer_alloc/usb_buffer_free with the appropiate usb_alloc_coherent/usb_free_coherent to prevent errors during make. In addition I have changed config.mk to use the WPA supplicant:Code:root@HellFire:/home/josh/Desktop/2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO# ls chips iwpriv_usage.txt README_STA_usb sta common Makefile RT2870STACard.dat sta_ate_iwpriv_usage.txt include os RT2870STA.dat tools

Despite all of this, I still cannot connect to my network and I have been trying to correct the issue for some two days, I've tried the rt2870sta driver also, which doesn't allow me to scan or really do anything.Code:root@HellFire:/home/josh/Desktop/2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO/os/linux# iwlist ra0 scan ra0 Scan completed : Cell 01 - Address: 00:24:B2:43:B1:B6 Protocol:802.11b/g ESSID:"SKY61133" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6) Quality=52/100 Signal level=-69 dBm Noise level=-92 dBm Encryption key:on Bit Rates:54 Mb/s IE: WPA Version 1 Group Cipher : TKIP Pairwise Ciphers (1) : TKIP Authentication Suites (1) : PSK
Having ran dmesg after insertion of the wifi card, I can see quite a few errors are given by this driver and thus the driver I have may not be the correct one for this card, the dmesg output is as follows:

Sorry for the long post but this is really frustrating me. I'm going to try the other drivers from RALink's site and see if any of them can provide better results, in the meantime any advice would be appreciated.Code:root@HellFire:/home/josh/Desktop/2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO/os/linux# cat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat #The word of "Default" must not be removed Default CountryRegion=5 CountryRegionABand=7 CountryCode= ChannelGeography=1 SSID=[my networks SSID] NetworkType=Infra WirelessMode=5 Channel=0 BeaconPeriod=100 TxPower=100 BGProtection=0 TxPreamble=0 RTSThreshold=2347 FragThreshold=2346 TxBurst=1 PktAggregate=0 WmmCapable=1 AckPolicy=0;0;0;0 AuthMode=WPAPSK EncrypType=TKIP WPAPSK=[my network's WPA key] DefaultKeyID=1 Key1Type=0 Key1Str= Key2Type=0 Key2Str= Key3Type=0 Key3Str= Key4Type=0 Key4Str= PSMode=CAM AutoRoaming=0 RoamThreshold=70 APSDCapable=0 APSDAC=0;0;0;0 HT_RDG=1 HT_EXTCHA=0 HT_OpMode=0 HT_MpduDensity=4 HT_BW=1 HT_BADecline=0 HT_AutoBA=1 HT_AMSDU=0 HT_BAWinSize=64 HT_GI=1 HT_MCS=33 HT_MIMOPSMode=3 HT_DisallowTKIP=1 HT_STBC=0 EthConvertMode= EthCloneMac= IEEE80211H=0 TGnWifiTest=0 WirelessEvent=0 MeshId=MESH MeshAutoLink=1 MeshAuthMode=OPEN MeshEncrypType=NONE MeshWPAKEY= MeshDefaultkey=1 MeshWEPKEY= CarrierDetect=0 AntDiversity=0 BeaconLostTime=4 FtSupport=0 Wapiifname=ra0 WapiPsk= WapiPskType= WapiUserCertPath= WapiAsCertPath= PSP_XLINK_MODE=0 WscManufacturer= WscModelName= WscDeviceName= WscModelNumber= WscSerialNumber= RadioOn=1

Edit:
I understand the rt2870sta module is merged into the rt2800usb module as of an earlier version of Linux(pre 12.04). I have tried connecting with the rt2800usb module also and made sure the rt2870sta drivers aren't loaded to prevent conflicts. While I am able to see my network, I still cannot connect to it :/
Edit2:
I get the following when trying to connect to my network using the rt2800usb driver:
