Edimax EW-7711In WiFi card - UNCLAIMED Wireless Network controller [0280]: RaLink Device [1814:3060] not working in Ubuntu 10.10
I recently bought an Edimax EW-7711In WiFi card which the makers say should function with Linux. I have a spare dual boot (Windows XP/Ubunto 10.10) computer which also has an Edimax card (model EW-7128g) and when I installed it Ubuntu recognised the card immediately and I was connected as soon as I entered the WiFi password and I didn't have to install any drivers. However the new card is not recognised at all despite what the makers say, and there isn't a Linux driver on the CD. The card works fine with Windows
Could anyone tell me how to get this card working if, in fact, it can be made to work with Linux. I am using Ubuntu 10.10. I was going to get the same card as the one I already have but they are being phased out.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated

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-
Step 2: Please copy-paste the following command from the https:/
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 apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/
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.

Hello actionparsnip,
Many thanks for your help, it was spot on. I installed ndisgtk and then downloaded the .inf file and it worked. I didn't even have to reboot.

Thanks actionparsnip, that solved my question.
