Installing wireless drivers in Linux 13 Maya
Hi All,
I have recently installed Linux 13 Maya on an elderly Dell C400 laptop. I have a Dynamode WL-700N-MRT2 Wireless USB adaptor that worked fine with Windows XP but is not recognised with Linux. I have downloaded a Linux driver from Dynamode but having difficulty installing it. Any advice welcome.
Also does anybody know a USB wireless adaptor that is plug and play and will work with Linux Maya? Thanks

Re: Installing wireless drivers in Linux 13 Maya
Hi,
was just checking your feedback and no driver is loaded so far, but the wl-700 is based on a ralink chip.
So this could work as ubuntu and mint use kernel that has the driver already in it.
Do:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Add three lines:
blacklist rt2800usb
blacklist rt2x00usb
blacklist rt2x00lib
Proofread carefully, save and close gedit.
Now do:
sudo su
echo rt2870sta >> /etc/modules
exit, reboot and reinsert your device. It should be working

Re: Installing wireless drivers in Linux 13 Maya
Hi Jeremy,
I know but the blacklist is the blacklist and as the wl is based on a ralink chip ,it can't harm to add the ones known to create problems to the blacklist and force the built in ones?
The Dynamode drivers are really old and I doubt they would work here but then again...
Sorry I just wanted to help.

Re: Installing wireless drivers in Linux 13 Maya
Hi,
oh you are using mint13
Then do this first
sudo mkdir -p /root/.local/share
it should fix the gtk error messages.

If yes try deactivating it in the bios.

Re: Installing wireless drivers in Linux 13 Maya
seems so now.
you still didn't send me you blacklist, as I said before the wifi scrypt doesn't show the wrong driver as being blacklisted and we have spend already a lot of time on this, so now it's step bye step no rush.
