Zyxel NWD-270N USB WLAN Stick doesn't work, neither rt2800usb nor rt2870sta
I tested several scenarios on Ubuntu 9.10 x32 (Linux 2.6.31-14-generic): Test scenario 1 - Clean Ubuntu installation without any modifications: -> rt2800usb will be loaded -> in Gnome Network Manager Interface is shown, but without any access-points -> mention "link is not ready" in /var/log/syslog: Nov 1 14:07:09 cm-desktop kernel: [ 133.948028] usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 Nov 1 14:07:09 cm-desktop kernel: [ 134.098505] usb 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Nov 1 14:07:09 cm-desktop kernel: [ 134.236150] cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain Nov 1 14:07:09 cm-desktop kernel: [ 134.251924] cfg80211: World regulatory domain updated: Nov 1 14:07:09 cm-desktop kernel: [ 134.251933] (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp) Nov 1 14:07:09 cm-desktop kernel: [ 134.251941] (2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) Nov 1 14:07:09 cm-desktop kernel: [ 134.251948] (2457000 KHz - 2482000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) Nov 1 14:07:09 cm-desktop kernel: [ 134.251954] (2474000 KHz - 2494000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) Nov 1 14:07:09 cm-desktop kernel: [ 134.251961] (5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) Nov 1 14:07:09 cm-desktop kernel: [ 134.251967] (5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) Nov 1 14:07:09 cm-desktop kernel: [ 134.397552] phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel' Nov 1 14:07:09 cm-desktop NetworkManager: <info> Found radio killswitch rfkill0 (at /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.1/usb1/1-4/1-4:1.0/ieee80211/phy0/rfkill0) (driver <unknown>) Nov 1 14:07:09 cm-desktop kernel: [ 134.399178] Registered led device: rt2800usb-phy0::radio Nov 1 14:07:09 cm-desktop kernel: [ 134.399221] Registered led device: rt2800usb-phy0::assoc Nov 1 14:07:09 cm-desktop kernel: [ 134.399262] Registered led device: rt2800usb-phy0::quality Nov 1 14:07:09 cm-desktop kernel: [ 134.399982] usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2800usb Nov 1 14:07:09 cm-desktop NetworkManager: SCPlugin-Ifupdown: devices added (path: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.1/usb1/1-4/1-4:1.0/net/wmaster0, iface: wmaster0) Nov 1 14:07:09 cm-desktop NetworkManager: SCPlugin-Ifupdown: device added (path: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.1/usb1/1-4/1-4:1.0/net/wmaster0, iface: wmaster0): no ifupdown configuration found.
