Wireless Network controller [0280]: RaLink RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe [1814:3090] not working correctly on MSI Wind U230 in Ubuntu 9.10, but working correctly in Ubuntu 10.04 beta 2

Asked by David Alexander

I have a RaLink RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe on my:

Netbook
MSI Wind U230
1.6GHz AMD Congo Neo X2 processor
ATI Radeon HD3200 graphics
Memory: 4GB
HD:320 GB
OS: Windows 7 Home Preamium 64 and Ubuntu 9.10 amd 64 Dule Boot on 3 partisions

I ran the fix I found here:
Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->Terminal"
Step 2: Enter the following command to start editing the sources.list file in the gedit editor:
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Step 3: In the gedit editor, scroll down and add the following 2 lines to the end of the /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/markus-tisoft/rt3090/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/markus-tisoft/rt3090/ubuntu karmic main
Step 4: Save the change to the sources.list file
Step 5: Enter the following commands to install the driver:
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install rt3090-dkms
Step 6: Reboot and retest wireless

 Now it shows my wirless network after I fallowed the instructions for the fix but will not conect. and it works fine on Win 7.
when I ran the first comand "sudo aptitude update" it gave me an error: "GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY FF370EF786F4C28E "
Is there a way to fix this?

Hi,

Please first connect your network card to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable).

In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your wireless card, please follow this procedure:

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->Terminal"

Step 2: Please copy-paste the following command from the https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu website in Firefox into the Linux Terminal. Do NOT copy-paste from the Email message into the Terminal, as that will only copy PART of the command. The command STARTS with the word sudo and ENDS with the word restart. So please copy-paste the ENTIRE command below from Firefox into a Terminal, press <enter>, then enter password when sudo asks for password, then press enter again.

Tip: If you have a wheel mouse or 3 button mouse you do not need to type commands into the Terminal. Highlight the command written on the page. Move your cursor anywhere in the Terminal and press the wheel or middle button. Automatic Copy and paste! No spelling mistakes! No Typos! No other errors!

sudo lshw -C network; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; sudo lshw -short; uname -a; dmesg | grep ound; dmesg | grep b43; dmesg | grep wl; dmesg | grep witch; iwconfig; grep b43 /etc/modprobe.d/*; grep wl /etc/modprobe.d/*; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output) on this thread. The troubleshooters here need to see the full Terminal output from running the above command.

Regards,

Mark

Hi,

According to the output you sent us, your wireless card seems to be working fine and has detected 1 wireless access point

If you are unable to "see" (and connect to) your wireless access point by choosing "edit connections" in the Networkmanager icon in the top right corner of your Ubuntu desktop, then I suggest this alternative:

First connect your network card to the wireless router using a LAN cable.

Then please follow this procedure:

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->
Terminal"

Step 2: Run the following commands (copy-paste each line below to the Terminal then hit <enter> after each line)

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install wicd

Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output from each command) on this thread

Step 4: Enable SSID broadcasting on the router and temporarily disable all security (deactivate WEP and WPA(2) encryption) on the wireless router

Step 5: Make sure to call the wireless interface

ra0

inside the wicd configuration panel.

You can read more about wicd here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicd_(Linux_Network_Manager)

Step 6: Try to connect to your wireless network using wicd.

Regards,

Mark

Ok I did just as you asked and it locked the the computer up good! I even went in and reset the whole router to factory default thinking may be it was another setting. Locked up again connecting to wireless with etho plugged in and with out. Every time I need to hard reboot pc. It locks up when it says "pulling interface down..." on the bottom of the Wicd network Manager.

new devlopment:

Now when I start up I get errors.

#1 Could not connect to wicd's D-Bus interface check the wicd log for error messages.

#2 The wicd daemon has shut down. The UI will not function properly untill it is restarted.

I try to restart the app and it will not restart unless I restart system and I get the same errors.

Ok I needed to give you an up date. I desided to Formate that partision on the drive and reinstall everthing starting over from scratch thinking it was something I did.

Results are simmuler I am not getting the errors, however, it still locks up when wep security is not inabled. when I enable it it just times out unable to ubtain an IP address. I though this my be of importance.

OK I got it fixed! Well sorta! I installed 10.04 LTS and did the install for the wireless driver and it is working now. I hope it stays that way. Thanks for all your help. I have to say the support I get here is far better then I would with Microsoft.
