Hi, thank you for instructions.
Driver update has solved the problem for me. One minor correction to instructions: - change "sudo apt-get install build-essential" to *"sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential"* Br, Timo 2010/5/11 Stephen Tanner <step...@stephentanner.com> > I found it really easy just to install the updated driver from ralink. > Here are my steps thanks to post #25: > > First download the new driver from ralink: > > http://bit.ly/bpzQRQ > > While you still have inter-tubes access, make sure you install build- > essential so you can compile the driver > > sudo apt-get install build-essential > > Next untar it somewhere in your home dir. > > edit this file in the folder you just untared ./os/linux/config.mk and > make it look like this: > (I found this step necessary.
