Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 3, 64-bit
I've a Linksys WUSB600N USB wifi-n networking adapter. This devices uses
the Ralink rt2870 chipset.
Previously I've been able to compile my own driver from the source on
Ralink's website. I'd make sure WPA supplicant was enabled and add the
device ID to the source code. The driver would then compile and install
and the device worked.
It seems that with 2.6.28-5 a rt2870 module (rt2870sta) has been
included with the kernel, but it doesn't detect this device. 2.6.28-6
also does not. Can the device ID be added to it so that this device will
function?
Here's the line from lsusb showing the device ID:
Bus 008 Device 004: ID 1737:0071 Linksys
And if it helps, this is the line I added to list of devices in the file
located at "include/rt2870.h" in the source code available from ralink:
{USB_DEVICE(0x1737,0x0071)}, /* Linksys */ \
If I can provide any further information please let me know what is
needed.
