Wireless usb device not working
I recently purchased a Linksys wireless USB device. When I plug it in and run lsusb I see the following: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 1737:0078 Linksys WUSB100 v2 RangePlus Wireless Network Adapter [Ralink RT3070] I install firmware-ralink and wireless-tools after checking the Debian Wiki and determining that the RT3070 uses the ralink firmware package.

I created /etc/modprobe.d/ralink.conf with: blacklist rt2x00lib blacklist rt2800usb blacklist rt2x00usb after doing some searching online, but that didn't change anything. In the testing phase, I downloaded Ubuntu and ran the live CD and the wireless dongle works just fine. I am not sure what I need to do to get this device working in Debian.

All the server software in the repositories is available to the desktop user, and all the desktop software can also be installed on the server. tl;dr: No difference. Are we seriously going to argue about which version of Ubuntu is supported for how long? I think it is reasonable to discuss, if a little OT. Who cares? Someone that doesn't necessarily want to upgrade on Debian's schedule. With Ubuntu, you can get 5 years, as opposed to Debian's ~3 years. With SLE* you can get 10 years. I'm not sure about RHEL, but I think it is roughly a SLE* timeframe. There are a number of organizations that would prefer to put hardware out in the field with a certain image and only apply security and important bug fixes for the life of the hardware. If the hardware refresh cycle is 3 years, you can always install the latest Ubuntu LTS at deployment time and be good for 3 years; that's not true of Debian (e.g. deployments in fall 2010). If the hardware refresh cycle is 5 years, you can always install the latest SLES + SP and be good for 5 years; that's not true of Ubuntu (e.g. deployments that don't fall more or less exactly on an LTS release date). I prefer Debian, but I haven't had to manage 100s or 1000s of installations where my main IT staff only has remote access or tried to completely script a change from oldstable - stable. I'm sure it's possible, but it probably requires more work than just updating the systems within the same release. I'm also not that interested is chipping on an effort to maintain Debian oldstable any longer than it is supported now. For my purposes, the 1 year time frame given to execute an oldstable - stable transition has always been more than enough. I should also note that Debian's support is (usually) for every package in main. This is a much larger selection of software that is in Ubuntu's main+restricted or within the SLE* support matrix. So, there are definitely cases where Debian's support is best-in-class. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/ All fine pointshere you go: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I know the Ubuntu upgrade between distros is crap so I really don't want to just finish customizing Lenny to the way I want it to only have an upgrade reinstall all of the packages that I just uninstalled.
