ralink 1814 5362

Asked by blau

Hi There

I have recently reinstalled my PC with Kubuntu 14.04. I also installed new hardware, a wireless network card, Netis WF2118. According to what I have read, there is already a kernel module included as in rt2800pci which should take care of this WLAN card. But the card is not working... I am doing USB tethering from my Andoid phone to connect to the internet at the moment.

Have you used the wired connection to get fully updated?

Nice information by the way. I wish more users would do the same. Usually all we get is "wireless doesn't work"

I read in previous version existed a packet called ralink-firmware... but it is not available on trusty.

Please execute the following commands using a working Internet connection:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install linux-firmware linux-firmware-nonfree

Then reboot your PC again and retest wireless.

I though perhaps a full list of installed kernel modules might help

Take a look here:

https://wiki.debian.org/rt2800pci

Your wireless adapter should be supported out-of-the-box since at least kernel 3.2.51-1.

So this looks like a regression in kernel version 3.13.0-30-generic

I suggest reporting a bugreport.

I am using ubuntu 14.04 and i am having exactly the same problem with the same messages.

PS.

There are Linux drivers on the card's CD but support linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 series, tested in Redhat 7.3 or later, and the instructions do not seem applicable, for example:

$cp RT2860STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat

load driver
    #[kernel 2.4]
    # $/sbin/insmod rt2860sta.o
    # $/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up

    #[kernel 2.6]
    # $/sbin/insmod rt2860sta.ko
    # $/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up

unload driver
    $/sbin/ifconfig ra0 down
 $/sbin/rmmod rt2860sta

is there something I could do?

Can you help with this problem?
