I have a Trim-Slice Value using Ubuntu 11.04. It comes with a Ralink RT5370 802.11n WiFi dongle.

When I plug the dongle in, it does not 'just work'; ifconfig and iwconfig do not show the device, though lsusb does show the device listed:

phrogz@trimslice:~$ lsusb | grep Ralink Bus 001 Device 004: ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp.

I have been searching through the forums and looked at this SDB:ASUS WL-160N USB Wireless Adapter - openSUSE and I am still having problems getting my ralink rt2870 wireless adapter working.

Hi all,

I have two USB sticks one with Ralink RT5370 chip and the other with RT3572 chip. I want to make them work in the access point mode. Unfortunately the drivers from the Ralink site do not support the Access Point mode. I read somewhere that the compat wireless modules have the support for access point mode for the Ralink drivers. So I downloaded the latest compat wireless package.

I bought this USB Wireless N Adapter, and took the Linux driver from the installation disk provided.

I followed the instructions in the README file to build the driver. When it comes down to the "make" command, I get an error output.

Hello,

I installed Ubuntu recently and I can't make my wireless connection at home to work. With WINDOWS 7 it works. Also, the cable connection work fine in Ubuntu but I can't keep my laptop in the dining room all the time. So I need to make the wireless work. Here are some information I collected. Thank you for your help.

As the title reads. My wireless adapter does not work when I boot from the Ubuntu 10.04 LiveCD.

The adapter in question... tricky.

I've just installed Debian Sid on my computer, for the beginning I used my Mac as modem with eth wire and everything went well. I used the wire to download and install xfce4 and wicd, but I have a problem: I can't connect to wireless as the same.. I've modded /etc/network/interfaces now is

auto lo iface lo inet loopback

The wlan0 is up but wicd give me this message:

No Wireless found.
