Using the lsusb i see the following:<br><br>Bus 003 Device 007: ID 148f:2770 Ralink Technology, Corp. <br>Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 <br>
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1241:1122 Belkin <br>Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 <br>Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 <br><br>When i remove the wireless usb the Ralink disappears so that is the one and it is being detected.<br>
<br>As Wayne has mentioned using the following dmesg | grep usb > /home/paddy/usb.txt gives me the following:<br><br>[ 22.111175] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs<br>[ 22.111203] usbcore: registered new interface driver hub<br>

Hi All<br>
<br>
Not sure if I have asked this question at the right place or not but here<br>
goes.<br>
<br>
I have recently bought a wireless adaptor for my desktop and as I am such a<br>
newbie, I am struggling to install it. Coming from a windows background, I<br>
would just insert the CD and let the auto run take care of it. However<br>
in Linux this of course won't happen.<br>
<br>
I have tried Googling, but maybe because of the words I am using all I seem<br>
to ever get back is advice on installing Linux from CD, not a device (and<br>
its drivers)<br>
<br>
Can anyone give me some simple tips on how to do this.<br>
<br>
The device in question can be got to from the below link and is supported<br>
on Linux.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/6107087/-/Product.html?searchstring=Edimax+EW-7717UN+Wireless+N+USB+Network+Adaptor&searchsource=0" target="_blank">http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/6107087/-/Product.html?searchstring=Edimax+EW-7717UN+Wireless+N+USB+Network+Adaptor&searchsource=0</a><br>
<br>
This is actually something simple that might be worth noting down for the<br>
next meeting, as after all, any newbies like myself coming from windows will<br>
struggle to do this. Maybe worth while adding it the Wiki.<br>
<br>
Anyway, thanks all<br>
<br>
Paddy<br>

Hi All<br>
To add to the earlier email, i am using Ubuntu 8.04.<br>
<br>
I have plugged the device into my USB port, and nothing has popped up etc<br>
which would make me think that it has been detected.<br>
<br>
So far i have tried running files directly from the install CD, but nothing<br>
happens. I think i am still applying the windows approach, i.e. open the<br>
folder and double click the autorun.exe., .inf .whatever else i see :)<br>
<br>
I was actually hoping that it would appear on my desktop with a 'new<br>
hardware has been found' etc. but alas nothing.<br>
<br>
All my Google attempts at an answer keeps bringing me back with results on<br>
how to install Linux, not a device.<br>
<br>
Thanks all<br>
<br>
Paddy<br>

Hi Paddy,<br>
<br>
When you connect it via USB do you get anything at all?<br>
<br>
Have you tried looking to see if it is connected via dmesg? If<br>
you don't know how to do this, drop to the terminal (gnome-terminal,<br>
xterm, eterm etc) and do something like<br>
<br>
dmesg | grep usb<br>
<br>
Have a look through that and see if it's showing in the list. It<br>
might also help if you could post that to the list as a attachment.<br>
<br>
dmesg | grep usb > /home/YOUR_USER_NAME/usb.txt<br>
<br>
Will do the trick, of course if you run the command from your home dir<br>
omit the path and just pipe it to a file.<br>

The rt2x00 drivers have been in-kernel since 2.6.24, but the USB id may<br>
be new and/or Ubuntu may not have enabled them until later than 8.04.<br>
The obvious advice is to upgrade to 8.10, particularly as there's a<br>
comment on the <a href="http://play.com" target="_blank">play.com</a> forum that it 'just works' in the 'latest'<br>
Ubuntu (why are these damn lusers never *specific*?). But the advice to<br>
upgrade will probably go down like a bucket of cold sick on this mailing<br>
list. Oh well.<br>

Hi Paddy.<br>
<br>
Wayne's response is quite 'techy'. It's good, but if you're not sure<br>
about using the terminal, it can be quite daunting.<br>
<br>
If you're up for learning a bit of terminal usage, then great get in<br>
there, - it's not necessary, but sometimes it can be really useful.<br>
<br>
Another place to look is under the System - Administration - Network<br>
section.<br>
<br>
That shows your network devices and the USB wifi thingy might just be<br>
there.<br>
<br>
If not, a reboot with the device attached might just bring it up.<br>
<br>
If not, then someone running a dmesg would be useful!<br>
<br>
If you are on the internet via a wired connection then someone could<br>
even connect remotely to you and help you sort it out...<br>
<br>
One thing from your other post...<br>
.exe files won't execute on Linux, cos they're programs for Windows<br>
machines. As this is one way virus are spread this is a very good thing!<br>
With devices like this they are little programs that install the drivers<br>
for the device - Ubuntu and Linux have their own versions of many<br>
drivers already built in or easily available (sometimes they don't!). I<br>
suspect Ubuntu already has the driver - we just need to get it and the<br>
device together.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
David<br>
