Hello,


I have 2 Ralink wirekless adapters and want to use them in Ubuntu 20.04


I have one of each:

ID 148f:3072 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT3072 Wireless Adapter
ID 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter


ip addr does show the adapters, and it looks like it loads kernel modules:

rt2800usb              32768  0
rt2800lib             139264  1 rt2800usb
rt2x00usb              24576  1 rt2800usb
rt2x00lib              69632  3 rt2800usb,rt2x00usb,rt2800lib
mac80211             1024000  3 rt2x00lib,rt2x00usb,rt2800lib


which I believe are the ones for the wireless adapters?


I did add the adapter to the  netplan, applied it, but don't see any 
DHCP requests


How do I install these in Ubuntu 20.04? (different kernel modules?)

(I have a RPI4 also with Centos running on it,  there it seems to work, 
but I really want to use  64 bit Ubuntu 20.04)


thanks,


Ron
