Bug#594561: firmware-ralink: fails to detect APs at frequency 2.472GHz

2010-08-28 Thread Wenceslao González-Viñas
Dear Ben, It seems that the kernel without firmware is not able to load any module. Probably, because the device I am using is 083a:a701 !! . Here is the answer of the things you asked for (after dpkg --purge firmware-ralink ): readlink /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/driver

Ok, I installed them again. Nothing happens (same results of last email) until I type the following (that I got from the internet): echo 'install rt2870sta modprobe --ignore-install rt2870sta ; /bin/echo 083a a701 /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870/new_id' | tee /etc/modprobe.d/rt2870sta.conf

I installed in fact both (without putting them in automatic loading after boot). With both drivers happen the same. I may be wrong, but I tried very much to do in such a way they do not interfere. In the case of Debian compliant was the non-free section of Squeeze (testing), version 0.26.
