Ubuntu 10.xx Wlan Ralink problems.

(1/1)

Ex Forum User 3:
I have an U135DX with an RT3090, sadly Ubuntu 10.10 (driver works for 10.04 too) takes the wrong driver.

Solution to this:

Blacklist the old drivers used for the 3090 wireless chip.

       sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

add the following at the bottom

blacklist rt2800pci
blacklist rt2800lib
blacklist rt2800usb
blacklist rt2x00usb
blacklist rt2x00pci
blacklist rt2x00lib

then install the ppa: https://launchpad.net/~markus-tisoft/+archive/rt3090

BTW, a result when using the wrong drive is also that the notebook won't shutdown or reboot.
It worked for me and many others.
