I found it really easy just to install the updated driver from ralink. Here are my steps thanks to post #25:
First download the new driver from ralink: http://bit.ly/bpzQRQ While you still have inter-tubes access, make sure you install build- essential so you can compile the driver sudo apt-get install build-essential Next untar it somewhere in your home dir. edit this file in the folder you just untared ./os/linux/config.mk and make it look like this: (I found this step necessary. I tested it without these changes and it still fails to connect) HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y ... ... HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y turn off your wifi card sudo ifconfig <ra0, eth1, wlan0> down unload the kernel module sudo rmmod rt2860sta rename the old module in: (this is done *just in case* AFAICT) /lib/modules/2.6.*/kernel/drivers/staging/rt2860/ from <filename>.ko to <filename>.ko_old cd into the folder you untared if your not already there make sudo make install sudo depmod -a now either reboot or load it manually with sudo modeprobe rt2860sta sudo ifconfig ra0 up (my wireless card started out as wlan0 and after the driver update showed up as ra0) If some one knows a way I can turn this into a dkms package and put it in a ppa, I will gladly do that later this week (after finals) -- [lucid] rt2860 frequently fails to connect to mixed mode WPA/WPA2 secured wireless networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496093 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
