Today I spent most of the afternoon trying to get Ubuntu to play
ball with an Edimax EW-7711In
PCI WiFi card. On the Edimax website they allow you to download Ralink RT3070 drivers
for the Linux kernel. We downloaded a more recent version of the driver from Ralink,
as we had problems with the file from the Edimax web site.
We installed the right bits and kernel-headers, compiled it all, installed it
and network-manager ignored it. We tried a few tweaks and still it
was ignored. We then re-seated the card to make sure that wasn't a problem - it
wasn't. However I noticed that the chip on the board was a Ralink RT3060,
which is also what lspci showed.
I then downloaded the RT3062 family driver - RT3060/RT3062/RT3562/RT3592. We
repeated the make dance and it popped up in network-manager the second we
modprobe'd it....
