Ralink RT2860 wifi <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MsiWind">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MsiWind</a><br><br>Some later models of the Wind come with the Ralink RT2860 wifi card, which is not currently supported by default. The driver is in the Debian unstable repository. To install it, follow the following steps, based on these instructions:<br>
<br>Download the package: <a href="http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/rt2860-source/download">http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/rt2860-source/download</a> and then install the source package. After that, execute the following commands to build and install the driver and to ensure that the driver modules are loaded at boot time:<br>
<br>sudo aptitude install debhelper module-assistant<br>sudo m-a a-i rt2860<br>sudo modprobe rt2860sta<br>sudo echo rt2860sta >> /etc/modules<br><br>You should then be able to configure your wireless connection with the NetworkManager applet.<br>
<br>Don't forget to actually enable the Wireless card by using Fn-F11<br></blockquote><br><br>see if that helps any. if not i'll check more when i wake up. half asleep.<br><br>azmodie<br><br>2009/4/4 Nistur <<a href="mailto:nistur@googlemail.com">nistur@googlemail.com</a>>:<br>
