Azio AWD102N wireless card manual install question <RESOLVED

[ready_rover]

I am a noob and had previous instructions for a different system to manually install but the former instructions no longer work. I was using Ubuntu 10.04 at the time before the last system board died. I am including all I have found in regard to needed info, but have to confess my ignorance in how to solve this connection problem. All help is appreciated deeply!

Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service smbd reload

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the reload(8) utility, e.g. reload smbd

THIS is the method I was attempting to use from the previous installation but the second line with the web address returns "Page Not Found". There are 7 lines to the process. Thanks!

sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential dkms
wget http://media.cdn.ubuntu-de.org/forum/at ... red.tar.gz
tar xvf DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217_prepared.tar.gz
cd DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217_prepared
sudo make
sudo make install
echo "blacklist rt2800pci" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi. This method is almost like the above. The difference is that you download the driver directly from the Ralink site.

1) Go to Ralink's Linux Download page, click on "RT3062PCI/mPCI/CB/PCIe(RT3060/RT3062/RT3562/RT3592)" and download the driver (DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217.tgz)
Note: You'll be asked to provide a name and an email address
2) Righ click the tgz archive and select "Extract Here". The tgz archive will be extracted to a folder called "DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217"
3) Right click this folder and select "Open in Terminal"
4) Now in Terminal, run these:

Code: Select all

cd os/linux
gedit config.mk

The last command opens the text file "config.mk". Here you need to edit two lines (just replace 'n' with 'y'), like this:

Before:
# Support Wpa_Supplicant
HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=n

# Support Native WpaSupplicant for Network Maganger
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n

After:
# Support Wpa_Supplicant
HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y

# Support Native WpaSupplicant for Network Maganger
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y


Save the file and close Gedit.

5) Back in Terminal, run these commands:

Code: Select all

cd ../../
sudo make
sudo make install
echo "blacklist rt2800pci" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

6) Reboot

MADS You Rock! Works like a charm, no lag, etc....I have been a Windoze user since 3.1 and although I've just begun a career change into the A+, Networking, Security, WinServer, CCNA route my skillset is extremely shallow with Linux and Mac. I don't know if 'spoiled' is the correct word and I'm not into the "my OS is better" arguments...I have simply become accustomed to the bloat of Windows due to its fewer steps and less complicated installation processes. Again here is my ignorance..nothing is complicated when you understand it...the real question behind the question is how much interest does one have in understanding a wonderful, freedom-giving operating system if the cost is the time in educating yourself instead of a dollar amount. For me, seeing a future time when I will be in the "server world" the Linux skillset is unavoidable and I welcome the path leading there.

I appreciate your time so very much.

ready_rover, I am sure with your background and attitude that won't take long.
Glad I could be of help.
