I did the following in terminal: Code:
cd /usr/src Code: sudo wget http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz -O /usr/src/rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz Code: sudo tar –xvzf rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz Code: sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` Code: cd /usr/src/rt73-cvs-2007111213/Module Code: sudo make Code: sudo strip -S rt73.ko sudo make install Code: sudo ifconfig wlan0 down Code: sudo modprobe -r rt73usb Code: sudo modprobe -r rt2570 Code: sudo modprobe -r rt2500usb Code: sudo modprobe -r rt2x00lib Code: xhost + Code: gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist Code: paste after last line: # Blacklist rt73usb, as it is a non-functional beta module which conflicts with the working rt73 module. blacklist rt73usb # Blacklist rt2570, as it causes conflicts with rt73 blacklist rt2570 # Other modules that break rt73 blacklist rt2500usb blacklist rt2x00lib Code: sudo modprobe –v rt73 Code: sudo ifconfig wlan0 down Code: sudo ifconfig wlan0 down Code: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "my essid" Code: sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode managed Code: sudo dhclient wlan0 Code: sudo aptitude update Code: sudo aptitude upgrade Code: sudo aptitude install wpasupplicant libgtk2.0-dev Code: wpa_passphrase <SSID of my router> <my password> Code: gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces Code: pasted: # The primary network interface auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.1.112 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 dns-nameservers 68.87.87.12 pre-up ifconfig wlan0 up pre-up iwconfig wlan0 essid "my ssid" pre-up iwconfig wlan0 mode managed pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set WPAPSK="pasted psk info from two steps above" pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set EncrypType=TKIP After doing this it worked great, just like in Feisty. Until I rebooted. Then it broke. I can't even insert the card now to print out any info because as soon as I insert it, the system freezes up and does not unfreeze even after removing the card. -- usb wifi causes kernel panic with Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162653 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
