Well not ralink cards, but I do use the dreaded Broadcom cards (Shudder).  They exhibited the same issues as your card Jason, I could see my WPA network, but could not connect.  I ended up having to use ndiswrapper, whi9ch basically uses the windows drivers for my card inside linux, then Knetworkmanager (I use KDE / Kubuntu as do all higher mammals) to actually connect. Your best bet is to head to ubuntuforums, and search on something on ralink.  That is where I found a how-to for my card, and Richard is right, there are a ton of very knowledgeable people there who can answer all your questions.  If you end up needing to do the ndiswrapper, shout back here and I can help you with that if needed. <div>On 8/3/07, Richard A.

If someone could help Jason out or point him in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. Jason, if you don't hear back shortly from this list, you could also check out <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> as well as <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org">http://ubuntuforums.org</a>. There are plenty of people chomping at the bit to help you there. Sorry I couldn't be of much help, but we are pushing close to deadlines and I am a little swamped right now. Thanks everyone! #### FORWARDED EMAIL STARTS HERE #### Hi, I am hoping you can help me out.  I found your email from the ubuntu local team list.  I am from Milwaukee so you are the closest to me.  I just installed feisty on my laptop and can't get my wireless working.  I know windows very well but don't know jack about linux but want to learn.  I just need to get this 1 step done and then I can actually use ubuntu and learn the rest on my own.  I looked online but can't find info that pertains to my specific situation although there are most likely tons of answers to my question out there.  I just don't understand it well enough to know if it is the answer to my problem.  I would really like some step by step help either over the phone or via email to just get connected to my wireless router and get on the internet so I can check the forums and howto's while I am on ubuntu.  I installed ubuntu and got all the updates and automatix and stuff.  I basically followed a howto from howtoforge.  So its all up to date, I also  did the sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant thing too but not sure if it worked or not.  My network has WPA encryption.  I have a ralink card i think and it looks like it is working or at least recognized by ubuntu.  I can see the networks that are in range but I cannot connect.  I do not have the option to use WPA, just WEP.  I chenged my network to WEP and I still could not connect.  If you have time or know someone who does I would REALLY appreciate the help just geting this started.  No wireless has been the 1 thing that has stopped me from using linux. If you have time t do this over the phone it might be easiest, just let me know when a good time to call would be and we could set something up. Otherwise hopefully over email will work as well. Thanks in advance. #### FORWARDED EMAIL ENDS HERE #### -- Richard A.
