Dear Wolfgang Many Thanks- we have progress! In your post #5 here, replacing the file in /lib/firmware has been successful.- thank you! On my machine: In kernel 2.6.35-28 the module 'rt2800' is NOT loaded in kernel 2.6.38-8 the module 'rt2800' IS loaded but the device does not work in Kernel 2.6.39-020639 the module is loaded but I cannot boot to a graphical environment (I could not install the kernel headers deb in the directory linked in post #4) The LED on the device does not light though so I suspect failure. in kernel 2.6.38-8 with manually replaced firmware as per post #5 the module 'rt2800' IS loaded and the device DOES work!
I attach the output of the following commands in one file joshua@Abednego:~$ uname -a > dmesg-2.6.38-8_firmware.txt joshua@Abednego:~$ lsmod | grep rt2800 >> dmesg-2.6.38-8_firmware.txt joshua@Abednego:~$ dmesg >> dmesg-2.6.38-8_firmware.txt I did the same for the other kernels and with the previous firmware as listed above and can provide these files also on request Many thanks Joshua Kite ** Attachment added: "uname, lsmod and dmesg output" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/770232/+attachment/2151492/+files/dmesg-2.6.38-8_firmware.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/770232 Title: 148f:3072 Ralink RT3072 WLAN not working with rt2800usb - firmware missing -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
