[ubuntu] Ralink usb 3070 on Acer Aspire One running 10.04

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi I have an Acer Aspire One ZG5, which is running (Desktop Version) 10.04. I've been happily using the built in wifi adapter, but now I've got a new wireless hub that supports 802.11n and I want to exploit the higher connection speed. I've bought a wireless usb that has no external markings, however, using 'lsusb' I've managed to establish it contains ralink 3070. Any ideas how I get this to work? When I plug in the wireless dongle from another laptop I get two connections available for use in network manager, but when I plug this one in nothing seems to happen. (HowTos)

Just recording this in case someone else out there has this same problem. In short, my old solution for getting my specific wireless usb device to work with Ubuntu 10.04 ended up blocking my wirless connection when I upgraded to 12.04.1. Removing part of that old solution solved it.

I have an ALFA brand 802.11n USB wireless dongle for my desktop.

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.

Hello

I have a little Aspire One net book, and have just installed 9.10 NBR

I am having trouble with the wireless connection. It seems ubuntu is not recognising the built in wireless card as in

Code: iwconfig info:

lo no wireless connections

I hve an Acer aspire one laptop. it has a wireless connection built in. it was bought in dec 2008. it has windows xp. It has always been able to use our Belkin router to get to the internet.

a few weeks ago, the router stopped working. it has a red light to show it is not connected to the internet. nothing could get to the web, not the desktop (with windows 7), no iphones, nothing.

I am severe wireless problems with Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop.(Spec below)

I have just performed the first clean install since new. Installed a new Hard Drive as well. The machine and wifi was fine under Ubuntu 9.04.

It is booting much faster now but the wifi keeps dropping off.

Any assistance in resolving this would be appreciated as I use this machine for work.

Hello All,

I've just installed the x64 Desktop edition of 12.04 on my Acer Aspire V3 571G. The wireless does connect, though it can take a while. The problem is the wireless only stays connected for 45 minutes max. before it drops out, and then it continually 'reconnects' (never actually connecting to the network) until I either switch between a few networks or turn wireless off and on again.

Hello there. Just now started working with crunchbang and am attempting to establish a wirless connection with my home router. its a netgear wgr614v10.Having no issue with wired connection, but cant manage to get the wireless to work. Ive got the SSID, MAC, MTU set to auto, wpa/wpa2 pass set up to what it is, ipv4 is being ignored.... nothing.
