My new hp g6-2251sl notebook hosts the following wireless network controller
(as reported by lscpi -vnn):
01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Ralink corp. Device [1814:539b]
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:18ed]
Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 16
Memory at c2500000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/32 Maskable- 64bit+
Capabilities: [70] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting
The linux debian kernel as shipped with wheezy doesn't recognize this network
card even if it is supported by kernel module rt2800pci.
Support for this device has been added by upstream commit [1].
On my own i got wireless card working just fine by either:
1. (in a terminal) echo "1814 539b" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/rt2800pci/new_id
2. recompiling wheezy kernel after adding device id as in [1]
Please consider backport commit [1] to the kernel shipped with wheezy.
Thanks in advance.
