Trying to get my new Premieretek USB wifi NIC working. My built-in wifi NIC
works perfectly fine, but i'm struggling with this new NIC. I've installed
the latest drivers directly from Premieretek's website. The model is
Powerlink pl-2814n with a Ralink RT3070 wifi chip. Its "wlan1" in the list
below.
As mentioned, it shows up in network manager as "Wireless Network (Ralink
802.11n WLAN) [next line] device not ready".
iwconfig:
