It worked completely out of the box, had everything I needed and nothing more. Linux Mint (Maya) was such an excellent distro back then, so much better, prettier and more user friendly than Ubuntu.
I decided to start with Linux Mint for which I had much sentiment. A couple of weeks ago, after a long break, I decided to check out what changed in the Linux desktop since I last played with it.ĭid it improve? Did it get rid of the things that frustrated me back then? It works without any problems, it just does not work with its full capabilities.I had a long break from Linux lately, the last time I distro hopped a couple of years ago, around 2012. You may need to reboot the computer, but it should work after that.įor some reason this model worked right out of the box one time, it was when I was loaded into the LiveCD, but after that I needed to use the ndiswrapper. 'sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/nf'Įnter password and change Managed from false to true. Direct the ndiswrapper to where the driver. Or go to the Control Center > System > Windows Wireless Drivers.
#UNTAR IN LINUX MINT DRIVER#
I am not sure if the 64-bit driver works or not.Ĭlick on Menu > Administration > Windows Wireless Drivers.
#UNTAR IN LINUX MINT 32 BIT#
Be Sure that you get the Windows XP 32 bit driver. Make sure you use/download the correct version. Place the Driver CD in the CD/DVD ROM or download from: Under Ndiswrapper the 5GHz bandwidth doesn't work (I recommend the Linux Driver over the Windows Driver). The credit for this info is due Fass from Ubuntu Forums which was originally a guide for the Ralink rt2760 PCI Linksys Card WMP110. **It should output something like "rt2870sta XXXXXX 0". **Now, while still root modprobe the driver module:
#UNTAR IN LINUX MINT INSTALL#
**Now enter the RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0 directory, compile and install the driver as root: # Support Native WpaSupplicant for Network Manager After you have extracted the files, search through the folder OS > linux > and either double click on config.mv or right click and open the terminal from that location and input: **Edit the RT2870_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0/os/linux/config.mk file to allow network-manager to manage the card. **Now, in your home folder untar the Ralink package: "sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential" **Now you need to install build-essential and linux-headers packages (if you don't have them already): **(Using the terminal, without Quotation Marks) **Go to the download section and download and download the proper driver, in this case it will be "RT2870USB(RT2870/RT2770)." **The Linksys WUSB600N has the Ralink rt2870 chipset (I found this out via., Google). The Linksys WUSB600N works perfect under Linux Mint 8 & 9 with the Linux Driver.
Works with Kernel 2.6.34 and up without installing any drivers. Linux Mint 8 & 9 detects the wireless USB adapter right out of the box but will not work right out of the box. It still doesn't find all the access points that a Linux compatible Generic Wireless Card/USB does. With the Linux Driver (Ralink rt2870sta) both the 2GHz & 5GHz. Sometimes it will fail to connect, but after a few tries it will eventually connect. Connects to the internet via Linksys Wireless router, it finds Qwest Wireless router, and a few others models.
