The last few days I've followed the proceedings in this thread. I experiences the same problems and I feel urged to participate in solving this matter, so may I join this discussion?
I have aRT2870 based WLAN stick too. It identifies itself as: 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter. This adapter stopped working after kernel 2.6.21-32 and the mean time I've tried to get it to do its job with almost all kernels released but to no avail. The most recent one I've tried is 2.6.38-02063808 and that's a failure too for now. Of course I use my Ubuntu Server all the time so it's still on kernel 2.6.21-32. I tried all solutions suggested here, but so far none of them makes any difference. That's why I want to help here and I'm willing to test things if I'm requested too. I'm not quite sure where to start so first I'll state the results of lsmod | grep rt: xt_multiport 2876 2 parport_pc 32228 0 x_tables 16544 8 xt_multiport,xt_limit,ipt_LOG,xt_recent,xt_state,xt_tcpudp,iptable_nat,ip_tables rt2800usb 37372 0 rt2x00usb 11548 1 rt2800usb rt2x00lib 29788 2 rt2800usb,rt2x00usb led_class 4096 1 rt2x00lib input_polldev 3716 1 rt2x00lib mac80211 181140 2 rt2x00usb,rt2x00lib rt2870sta 488948 1 cfg80211 93052 2 rt2x00lib,mac80211 crc_ccitt 1852 1 rt2800usb agpgart 35020 1 sis_agp parport 35340 3 parport_pc,ppdev,lp Just for testing I've blocked rt2870sta in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf but somehow it does load that driver according to the output above. I'll await your response for what to do next. Thanks for making the effort to solve the problems with these types of WLAN USB sticks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762987 Title: RT2870 WLAN Stick (D-Link DWA 140) not working. firmware does not support detected chipset To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.24/+bug/762987/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
