Re: debian install wireless fails on laptop with Ralink RT3290 wireless, what to do?

This is what I usually do. And if even the ethernet card isn't recognised I temporarily install an old ethernet card, get Wheezy/$VERSION (I have been doing this for some time!) installed (I use the net-install CD) and then sort out the drivers. When I can, I use an installer with non-free firmware. But it can be tricky to find one! I believe there is a Wheezy one at the moment, but don't know where on the Debian site it is hiding. I'm a great believer in free software, but quite fancy keeping my nose attached to my face. ;-) Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Apparently, firmware-ralink is non-free and is required, so looks like you can't get your card working from installation. You must download the package from another machine or temporarily use another network card.

Debian Wheezy kernel (3.2) is tool old to manage RT3290, I think that a 3.8 kernel is a minimum. There is no backports CD/DVD, so if you want to install Debian via wireless, you probably have to install Debian Testing (Jessie) or Unstable (Sid). You will have to either have a spare Ralink firmware to use during installation (expert install will ask you for one, normal installation: I don't know), or use a unofficial Jessie CD/DVD with firmwares: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/ I have a HP Pavilion dm1 with a RT3290 chipset: I have installed Debian Stable via ethernet, then installed kernel + firmwares from backports. Also the bluetooth part of the RT3290 chipset is not functionnal in Linux. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
