I'm suspecting this isn't a kernel or firmware issue, but one of the Ubuntu userland/unity things going a bit awry (which I can't be much help on, unfortunately). linux-firmware has the firmware you need, to check run: $> dpkg -S /lib/firmware/rt2860.bin linux-firmware: /lib/firmware/rt2860.bin $> dpkg -L linux-firmware | grep rt2860 | xargs file /lib/firmware/rt2860.bin: data then also run (and post the result) of: $> lshw -C network (as Colin suggests) and $> lsmod Cheers, Mark > > -- > ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
