Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.26
The Ralink RT2860 Wireless lan is a widely used wlan card, even more now since it is built in many netbooks, incuding mine :-) , but its been missing in the linux-kernel or resticted-modules.. Ralink provides a OpenSource driver, since version 1.7.0.0 it even works fine with the Networkmanager used in ubuntu and all other flavors. I have been testing it in Intrepid for a while now.. Support for the Networkmanager just has to be turned on before Compiling.. It would be great, since Intrepid is a release focused on more bleeding edge and not a LTS.. to see this Modul working out of the box in Intrepid... Original Driver from Ralink http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html I incuded a fixed source that worked fine for me, Networkmanager is activated.. Here are the changes and difference between the original and the one I uploaded to launchpad: * This driver will compile on 2.6.26. * The RT2860STA.dat file wont copy to /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA. * The wierd tftboot file in the root directory wont be placed. * Support for Network Manager is activated. * This driver wont trash the logs that bad anymore. thanks to the_isz ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Missing Wlan- Modul in Linux-Kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262524 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
