Hi, I am new to Linux. I've finally got a PC with hardware that is mostly all compatible and I've heard that many of the new Linux versions, such as Linux Mint, are very user friendly and easy for beginners, so I have decided to give Linux a fair try. I was disappointed to find out when running Linux Mint Isadora from LiveCD that my wireless adapter (Medialink 150N USB adapter) didn't work. I found out there is a directory with a Linux driver on the install cd, but I still can't figure out how to get it to work. There is a README file that has a list of instructions. I've included those instructions at the bottom of this post. I don't understand them but tried following them anyway.
In Step 2, I don't know what GCC, LD or CFLAGS are. Also, I don't know what/where the linux kernel source is. In step 3 it says to set "HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT = n", but it also says to set it "= y". I also don't know what it means when it says "=> #>[some command]"; am I supposed to enter that in the terminal somewhere? In step 4, it says to run "make". When I typed in "make" in the terminal, it didn't do anything, it wanted more arguments. Although I haven't made it that far, I'm confused about step 6 as well, the title says to "Load driver...", but the lines below are preceded with a # sign, which seems to be the "comment" sign in this document.
Please help. I'm about to throw in the towel on the "new, improved, *user-friendly*" Linux already. And on a side note, why does Linux require all this file editing, "making", copying, etc just to get a wireless adapter to work? Even with the old Windows 3.x before Plug-n-Play, you only had to open the system settings section and show the system the location of a single driver file and it would work.

Re: Wireless card won't work - how do I set it up?
According to threads on ubuntu forums, this adapter (I'm assuming it is the MWN-USB 150?) uses the RT3070 driver but the OS tries to load the RT2800 one. The solution is to blacklist the RT2800 driver as follows:
press Alt+F2 to open a Run dialog and enter gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
in gedit scroll to the end and add a new line with blacklist rt2800usb, then save and exit
now reboot the system and see if the adapter works? If not post back with the output of lsusb entered in a terminal.

Re: Wireless card won't work - how do I set it up?
Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, this didn't solve the problem. I added that line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and rebooted and it still didn't work. I ran "lsusb" beforehand and it said:
Bus 002 Device 001: ID l46b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID l48f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID l46b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
After some study I read through the instructions I printed in the original post again, leaving the settings in Makefile and config.mk as they were (I don't know what the WPA_Supplicant, wext, or Network Manager mean so I didn't mess with it). I tried running "make", and this time it ran , although it reported errors. The output is listed below. I think I may have been in the wrong directory before, the location of the config.mk file, not the Makefile. After that I tried step 5 ($cp RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat) but it said there was no such directory. I went into the file manager and saw no "Wireless" directory in "/etc/". I tried creating one with mkdir, but it said I couldn't. I figured maybe it was because it already existed but was a hidden directory only available to 'root' (I was just guessing. Like I said, I'm totally new to GNU/Linux). I tried changing to the root user by typing "$su" in the terminal (That's what the 'su' command does, right?), but it requested a password. I never gave Linux any passwords, so I don't know what this could possibly be. Tried "default", "password", "root", and a blank pw, with no luck.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Also, do I need to remove that blacklist info I added? Anyone know what my root password would be or if I'm trying to change to 'root' the right way? Also, anyone know what WPA_Supplicant, wext, LD, CFLAGS, or the "=> #>[some command]" notation mean?
Thanks,
Christian

After some study I read through the instructions I printed in the original post again, leaving the settings in Makefile and config.mk as they were (I don't know what the WPA_Supplicant, wext, or Network Manager mean so I didn't mess with it). I tried running "make", and this time it ran , although it reported errors. The output is listed below. I think I may have been in the wrong directory before, the location of the config.mk file, not the Makefile. After that I tried step 5 ($cp RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat) but it said there was no such directory. I went into the file manager and saw no "Wireless" directory in "/etc/". I tried creating one with mkdir, but it said I couldn't. I figured maybe it was because it already existed but was a hidden directory only available to 'root' (I was just guessing. Like I said, I'm totally new to GNU/Linux). I tried changing to the root user by typing "$su" in the terminal (That's what the 'su' command does, right?), but it requested a password. I never gave Linux any passwords, so I don't know what this could possibly be. Tried "default", "password", "root", and a blank pw, with no luck.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Also, do I need to remove that blacklist info I added? Anyone know what my root password would be or if I'm trying to change to 'root' the right way? Also, anyone know what WPA_Supplicant, wext, LD, CFLAGS, or the "=> #>[some command]" notation mean?
Thanks,
Christian

Re: Wireless card won't work - how do I set it up?
Try
as, it is correct, to promote yourself to super user, you need a root password. Thus, the 'Ubuntu' work around is to allow 'users' to be part of 'super users' or 'super user doers = sudo', giving you root functionality with individual user passwords, rather than having a 'root'. Also there is no root, and if there is, its really running root shell under sudo or gksudo. Also, if your are booted to live cd, the username is 'mint', with no password.
Code: Select all
sudo su. I tried changing to the root user by typing "$su" in the terminal (That's what the 'su' command does, right?), but it requested a password. I never gave Linux any passwords, so I don't know what this could possibly be. Tried "default", "password", "root", and a blank pw, with no luck.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Also, do I need to remove that blacklist info I added? Anyone know what my root password would be or if I'm trying to change to 'root' the right way? Also, anyone know what WPA_Supplicant, wext, LD, CFLAGS, or the "=> #>[some command]" notation mean?
Re: Wireless card won't work - how do I set it up?
See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1342593 for further help. The driver you are trying to build from the CD is an older one, if you are going to build the driver it is recommended you download the latest release.
[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

SOLVED: Wireless card won't work - how do I set it up?
Thank you for the suggestions. I tried them all but nothing worked. I searched on other forums and tried a number of other methods that all failed. I finally found a link to a solution on the Ubuntu forum. The post is located at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1353044 . This post is for the Linksys WUSB54GC v3 wireless adapter, but it also works for my MediaNet 150-N USB wireless adapter; they both use the Ralink RT3070 chip. I wasn't able to get the newest driver posted on the Ralink site to work. I read on another site that Ralink's does a really half-ass job with it's Linux drivers, and most are full of errors and typos you have to correct. I'm guessing this is the problem with the newest driver. I used v2.1.2.0, which the Ubuntu forum solution suggests and there are still a number of adjustments you have to make listed in the instructions. The forum post has tarballs of the v2.1.2.0 driver/module, a text file instruction set (what is listed in the original post), and screenshots of the install/setup process available for download at the bottom of the first post. I just downloaded these, followed the instructions and now everything is up and running. Thanks to bk of the Ubuntu forums.
