D-Link wireless N 150 usb adapter not working on Kubuntu 12.04.4

Asked by D Mackie

D-Link wireless N 150 usb adapter will not work in Kubuntu 12.04.4. There is a file in /Wireless/RT3070STA/ RT2870STA. RT28070STA is the Linux driver file for D-Link N 150. There may be a possibility that the adapter would work if I could rename the folder RT3070STA to RT2870STA but Kubuntu will not let me rename any folders. Otherwise, please tell me how to get my N 150 working in Kubuntu 12.04.4.

It's likely that the drivers that came with the adapter are older than the ones already on your system.

There's a good script for gathering wireless info here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2082305&p=12350385#post12350385

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

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

Step 1

In the Ubuntu Terminal console , make sure that unlimited scrolling is enabled:

click on Edit > Profiles > "Default" profile > Scrolling. Choose "Unlimited" as scrolling option. Click Close and Close again.

If you are using the Gnome interface, open the Terminal console via "Applications->Accessories->Terminal"

If you are using the Unity interface (default graphical user interface in Ubuntu), use the 'search' function on the dash. Or you can click on the 'More Apps' button, click on the 'See more results' by the installed section, and find it in that list of applications. A third way, available after you click on the 'More Apps' button, is to go to the search bar, and see that the far right end of it says 'All Applications'. You then click on that, and you'll see the full list. Then you can go to Accessories > Terminal after that.

So the methods in Unity are:

Press CTRL-ALT-T key combination.

Dash > Search for Terminal

Dash > More Apps > 'See More Results' > Terminal

Dash > More Apps > Accessories > Terminal

Step 2

Please copy-paste the following diagnostic command from the

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WirelessTroubleshootingProcedure

website using a web browser (like Google Chromium or Mozilla Firefox) into the Linux Terminal. The command STARTS with the word sudo and ENDS with the word lsmod. So please copy-paste the ENTIRE diagnostic command below from the web browser 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 diagnostic 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 rfkill; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scan | egrep -i 'chan|ssid'; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net; lsusb; nmcli nm status; sudo lshw -short; uname -a; sudo updatedb; dmesg | egrep '02:00|80211|acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|brcm|CX|eth|ipw|ireless|irmware|isl|lbtf|orinoco|ndiswrapper|NPE|ound|p54|prism|rror|rtl|RTL|rt2|RT2|rt3|RT3|rt5|RT5|rt6|RT6|rt7|RT7|usb|witch|wl';sudo dmidecode|egrep 'anufact|roduct|erial|elease'; iwconfig; cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep '80211|acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|brcm|CX|eth|ipw|irmware|isl|lbtf|orinoco|ndiswrapper|NPE|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|rt6|rt7|wmi|witch|wl'; cat /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state; sudo hwinfo --netcard ; ps -aux|egrep 'wpa|icd|etwork'; netstat -rn ; cat /etc/resolv.conf; ls -lia /boot; grep tmpfs /etc/fstab; ubuntu-support-status; sudo lsmod

Step 3

Please do NOT attempt to send any attachment(s). Please copy/paste the full terminal output at this location:

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/245592

The troubleshooters at Launchpad need to see the full Terminal output from running the above diagnostic command.

Step 4

Please also clarify if you installed Ubuntu to the harddisk and are running from a harddisk install OR if you are only testing Ubuntu in a LiveCD session.

This is in reply to Mark Rijckenberg (markrijckenberg):
I am using Kubuntu 12.04.4, not Ubuntu. There may not be that much of a difference between them but I think Kubuntu uses the KDE whatever and Ubuntu uses Gnome. Yes, I installed Kubuntu directly to the hard drive on my computer and am running from a harddisk install.

 Anyway, I ran the command in the Konsole Terminal and following is the results:

d@d-ET1161-05:~$ sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep rfkill; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scan | egrep -i 'chan|ssid'; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net; lsusb; nmcli nm status; sudo lshw -short; uname -a; sudo updatedb; dmesg | egrep '02:00|80211|acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|brcm|CX|eth|ipw|ireless|irmware|isl|lbtf|orinoco|ndiswrapper|NPE|ound|p54|prism|rror|rtl|RTL|rt2|RT2|rt3|RT3|rt5|RT5|rt6|RT6|rt7|RT7|usb|witch|wl';sudo dmidecode|egrep 'anufact|roduct|erial|elease'; iwconfig; cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep '80211|acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|brcm|CX|eth|ipw|irmware|isl|lbtf|orinoco|ndiswrapper|NPE|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|rt6|rt7|wmi|witch|wl'; cat /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state; sudo hwinfo --netcard ; ps -aux|egrep 'wpa|icd|etwork'; netstat -rn ; cat /etc/resolv.conf; ls -lia /boot; grep tmpfs /etc/fstab; ubuntu-support-status; sudo lsmod

If it was me, I would:
1. Purge all the ndiswrapper stuff
2. Install newer kernel (linux-lts-saucy)
3. Boot into new kernel

Yes, please execute the steps in post #4, as proposed by Daniel. I agree with that.

Mark and Daniel,

How do I purge all the ndiswrapper stuff, instal newer kernel (linux-1ts-saucy) and what is linux-1ts-saucy?

Revision history for this message
Mark Rijckenberg (markrijckenberg) said :
#7

Please copy-paste these commands into the Terminal one by one and hit <ENTER> after each line:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get remove --purge ndiswrapper-common

sudo apt-get remove --purge ndiswrapper-dkms

sudo apt-get remove --purge ndiswrapper-modules-1.9

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.11.0-18-generic

sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.11.0-18-generic

sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-saucy-eol-upgrade

Then reboot into the 3.11.0-18 kernel.

I also recommend studying the following Ubuntu guides:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ExternalGuides

Daniel is referring to the following (when mentioning linux-lts-saucy) :

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=precise&section=all&arch=any&keywords=linux-generic-lts-saucy&searchon=names

The LTS in linux-lts-saucy means: Long Term Support version

The saucy in linux-lts-saucy refers to the codename for Ubuntu 13.10.

So linux-lts-saucy is the Ubuntu 13.10 (saucy) kernel which has been backported for use in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (precise).

Mark,

Thank you for your instructions. I did all the sudo apt-get commands you suggested and rebooted into the 3.11.0-18 kernel quite successfully BUT my D-Link wireless N 150 USB (not a card) adapter still does not work. I really appreciate your recommended Ubuntu guides in the URL you provided. I will keep that URL and refer to it when I can but I do not have time now or for several months. So far, I found on the Linux-drivers.org website that the DWA-125 either has a rt2870sta driver or is supported by the rt2860sta staging driver in 2.6.29-rcl and later kernels or rt2800usb driver in kernel tree. I suspect that is why you suggested upgrading to the 3.11.0-18 kernel since the necessary driver may be in that kernel. I wondered if the problem is with the Rogers Internet provider's SMC801W-G Broadband Wireless Gateway that I rented, so I upgraded to a more powerful router but it did not make any difference - my USB adapter still does not work.

I have given up on Ubuntu again and will not likely try it again or for
a long time. It is obvious to me that I need to know all about Linux and
how to fix problems if I want to run Ubuntu or Kubuntu. I have
reformatted the hard drive on that computer I tried to run Ubuntu and
Kubuntu on and installed Windows 7 Home Premium and sent it to my
sister. Please keep my question closed. A recent slight stroke kept me
from being able to reply to my question.
