RALink RT3090 wireless card not working on new MS-1242-ID1 (Wind12 U200)
I just bought a MS-1242-ID1 (Wind12 U200) with the Debian (squeeze) installed on it. It has an RALink RT3090 wireless card, but the card does not seem to work with Debian. I have found the driver and firmware on the manufacturer's website (http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_supp...ort.php?sn=501), but have no idea how to install it. I would be grateful for any assistance than can be offered. Thank you.

Get these two:

make Restart. |
That didn't seem to work.

Where did it fail ?

Ok, you need to install development tools, for example, you are missing gcc (C compiler).

i have had some problems getting my Ralink wireless card to work on my COMPAQ notebook, since it's newer hardware Linux kernel that came by default with most distros don't have the modules in it for use even if you did install the firmware it won't work. what you do is find your wireless chipset sometimes the firmware it needs by issuing the command
Code:
lspci Code:
lspci >> /home/user/Desktop/lspci.txt http://kernel.org good luck |
SO far, nothing has worked and I keep getting the message on the GUI "Wireless is disabled by hardware switch." This is crazy-making! Any more ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to everyone so far for their recommendations.
