With the instructions from this (http://www.linuxcrew.de/2010/10/11/rt2870-compile-error-under-kubuntu-maverick-10-10/?lang=en) site, adapted for the rt3070 driver, I managed to get the dongle working also in Maverick and Natty. To sum up, That's what I've done:
- Downloaded the source of the package "rt3070" from from ppa:logari81/ppa (lucid version). Maybe on the ralink site there's a newer version, but they have messed up the driver names in a way that i couldn't understand. - Extracted the source and patched with the patch provided in the linked article (http://www.linuxcrew.de/2010/10/11/wp- content/uploads/2010/10/rt2870sta_usb_kernel2635.patch) - Unplugged the dongle, typed "sudo rmmod rt2870sta" - make && sudo make install - sudo modprobe rt3070sta No need for me to blacklist the previous driver, at the reboot it selected the 3070 automatically. Obviously with this method you lose dkms support, so you have to recompile the driver for every kernel update. Maybe we can contact the developer of that package? The problem with Maverick is very easy to fix: that patch only changes some function names that changed in the .35 kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606839 Title: D-Link DWA-140 B2 (RT3071-based) can connect to 802.11n-mode AP, but always set 54 Mbit/s connection speed -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
