Installing Linux to Ralink RT2870 driver
Mess very much with this myself and found out how it should be done:
1. Downloading the latest drivers http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2
(As of this writing, while http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/dr....4.0.0.tar.bz2
2. Extract the archive you downloaded.
3. Open a terminal.
4. Go into the folder you extracted (For me 2008_0925_RT2870_Linux_STA_v1.4.0.0 cd)
5. Use gedit or nano (the text you like) and open Make File.
6. Watch where the MODE is set to STA (MODE = STA) TARGET is set to LINUX (TARGET = LINUX) save and close.
7. Visit the os / linux (cd os / linux)
8. Open config.mk (with the text you like)
9. Changing these from
Quote
# Support wpa_supplicant
HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT = n
# Support for Native WpaSupplicant Network Maganger
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT = n
to
Quote
# Support wpa_supplicant
HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT = y
# Support for Native WpaSupplicant Network Maganger
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT = y
10. Save and Close.
11. Return to 2008_0925_RT2870_Linux_STA_v1.4.0.0.
12. Run make. (Can you mail error messages back).
13. Run make install as root (sudo make install, send feedback here also love)
14. Visit the os / linux (cd os/linux)
15. Run insmod rt2870sta.ko
16. When will all work after my experience, if not follow the next step.
17. Open /etc/network/interfaces (gedit /etc/network/interfaces).
18. Please enter the first sentence
auto ra0
, Also the other
iface ra0 inet dhcp
(dhcp is standard, you need only change to what suits you love.
19. Then all the work, use encryption, you can configure it with the System> Administration> Network, or network-admin in the terminal.
20. Almost forgot that you must install build-essential (apt-get install build-essential).
21. build-essential to be on CD you installed ubuntu with.
22. How to install build-essential CD.
23. Open the Terminal (Applications> Accessories> Terminal)
24. Run apt-cdrom add-d / cdrom (replace / cdrom with the path cdrom is mounted with you)
25. Run apt-get update.
26. And run apt-get install build-essential.
