Compiling/Using Ralink RT61

[Nicholas Thomas]

If that is the case, then the OP can download, ./configure, make and 
make install <http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt2500-cvs-daily.tar.gz> instead :). 

That will work on the unmodified Breezy kernel. The only downside is that it's a bit
flakier - eg. when dealing with huge numbers of connections (e.g. P2P), the module has a 
tendency to disconnect, for instance - in my experience, at least. 

Breezy never managed to load up any ralink modules for me :'(  ...

xF,

...Nick

this page

says that the EW-7128G uses the Ralink RT2500 chipset

and afaik support for the Ralink RT2500 is available already in ubuntu
breezy (i remember from a few months ago while testing a card with a
chipset like that)

apt-cache search rt2500 also shows some pointers

can you try : sudo update-pciids
and then show the output of lspci ?
