Having issues with ralink wireless card.
 

So i recently purchased a Rosewill RNX-N600UBE. Ive been trying to install the firmware and drivers, but i keep running into errors, and then dead ends when I try to solve the issue.

Ill make it absolutely clear that im am a complete and utter noob when it comes to linux, which no doubt, is attributing to my troubles.

The Wireless card has a RT3572 Chipset and im using an install of the Kali linux distro on a macbook pro.

I can get internet using the macbooks internal wireless card, but it does not have the range I want.

Currently my main problem is that i cant figure out how to install the driver.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried this: rt2800usb

Yes, firmware-ralink is installed.

It may help us help you if you explained exactly what you tried and how the system responded to what you tried. "running into errors" is a bit like going to your GP and saying, "I don't feel well" and then awaiting a cure. Get it? :)

Specifically, ive read through several how to's on installing this cards drivers, but none of them end up working becuase of one error or another. From what ive gathered, i need to insall this chipsets drivers, but whenever I run the "make" command, i get this output.

You appear to be trying to compile your own driver. Is there any reason why you don't use the driver suggested above? Does this page help at all?

I was under the impression that i needed both firmware, and a driver. Ive followed that page to the letter. I didnt come across any problems following it aside from my device still not working when connecting it afterwards.

I think these excerpts from the document show that this is not the case.

Well unfortunately it is not working. I am very new to linux so I do not know how to diagnose the problem. Ive attached the card and lsusb picks up that it is a ralink wireless chip, but iwconfig/ifconfig doesnt even ackknowledge its existence as a wireless interface.

I may be clutching at straws here, because what few wireless card i do use they all seem to work without much hassle in linux. So for that I apologise before i go any further.

Have you tried running, from the terminal:
if the above command works for you, you will need to add rt3572sta to the end of /etc/modules file to allow it to start automagically every boot.

edit: you may also want to look at the following page [here] and see if this may help you?

I get the output

That page doesnt reallly help either, because as i said before, the make command will not work.

do you have wpa_supplicant installed? Im unsure if this is in Kali linux by default so I have to ask

also check you have build-essentials installed

I tried to install the headers and got this:

So I did aptitude update, but got this at the end of the output.

Can you post the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file.

Sure.
