Debian Wheezy kernel (3.2) is tool old to manage RT3290, I think that a 3.8 kernel is a minimum. There is no backports CD/DVD, so if you want to install Debian via wireless, you probably have to install Debian Testing (Jessie) or Unstable (Sid). You will have to either have a spare Ralink firmware to use during installation (expert install will ask you for one, normal installation: I don't know), or use a unofficial Jessie CD/DVD with firmwares: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/ I have a HP Pavilion dm1 with a RT3290 chipset: I have installed Debian Stable via ethernet, then installed kernel + firmwares from backports. Also the bluetooth part of the RT3290 chipset is not functionnal in Linux. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
