Hi I have a MSI Wind u90 running Ubuntu 9.10 works good for me no issues

My grateful thanks to "texasred218" for your reply. Following your suggestion I tried a "live" version of Ubuntu 10.04 alpha from Linux Mag. but it did not recognise my Ralink wireless adaptor, however, in the Ubuntu forums under:-
"Ralink RT3090 Wireless Not Supported in Lucid"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/541620
I found this solution which worked like a dream:-

I would just like to confirm that the workaround suggested by Carsten seems to work perfectly (so far).

As root:

mkdir -p /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/
touch /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat
service network-manager restart

It is then possible to connect via network manager.

Glad I could be of help. I switched to 10.04 ubuntu on my msi wind u90
