Bug Description
This report concerns the Gigabyte AirCruiser N300 GN-WB31N-RH, with a Ralink RT2870 chip set. The problem seems to concern several other devices with this chipset as well, considering all the different guides I've come across while trying to make it work. There is several reports concerning this chip set here on launchpad, but it's still an issue, an issue that should be an easy fix for maverick.
I'm running lucid (kernel 2.6.32-24 generic).
First of all the current driver in the kernel is old. The latest driver (v2.4.0.1) can be downloaded here: http://
Second, the driver is not set up to allow WPA encryption by default. This can be easily fixed by editing the two lines concerning this in the file /os/linux/config.mk (in the downloaded driver folder) before running make/make install. WPA is very common and should be activated by default.
Third. My device is apparently recognized as another chip set, and ubuntu loads the rt2800usb driver instead of the correct rt2870sta. I've had to blacklist rt2800usb to make it load the right driver.
Fourth. My device is not included in the device list (/common/
Bug report #632187 concerns the same Gigabyte usb device on the same kernel, but does not mention the blacklisting rt2800 issue. In my experience the problem can not be solved without blacklisting the rt2800 driver.
A quick search here at launchpad indicates that there is other devices missing in the device list as well.
In short by, blacklsiting the rt2800 driver, editing the device list and activating WPA, i got it to work.

Hi Asbjørn,
Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http:// cdimage. ubuntu. com/daily/ current/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications- >Accessories- >Terminal) . It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.
apport-collect -p linux 638791
Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text. Please let us know your results.
Thanks in advance.
