[Bug 210725] Re: Please include RaLink RT2860 driver

[Alex Krastelev]

Unfortunately RT2860 isn't yet supported out of box by Jaunty Jackalope
9.04 alpha 3, but the latest driver from debian source tree works on my
eee 901. The installation procedure:

- Download rt2860-source_1.8.0.0-3_all.deb from http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/rt2860-source/download
$ wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/r/rt2860-source/rt2860-source_1.8.0.0-3_all.deb

- install source .deb:
$ sudo dpkg -i rt2860-source_1.8.0.0-3_all.deb

- compile 
$ sudo aptitude install debhelper module-assistant
$ sudo module-assistant auto-install  rt2860

- install the module
$ sudo modprobe rt2860sta
this should activate the new wireless interface without reboot

- to load the module automatically on each reboot, add rt2860sta to
/etc/modules

Installation procedure originally for 8.10 from
http://k.dieplz.net/evolution/2008/11/22/wlan-in-ubuntu-8-10-on-new-msi-
wind-u100/
