Comment 11 for bug 296663

Hi, I just had the same problem. There where no way to get wifi work. So I installed dual boot, so in one partition Vista and another Ubuntu 8.10. Firstly when you turn on wifi on vista it goes of after restart, that problem was fixed with new beos update. So now after restart wifi satys on.

1. Update Bios

Secondly, when I booted my system to ubuntu, wifi stayed on. So now I needed to find only right drivers to my machine. If I remeber correctly it was Ralink 2860STA. So I downloaded it.

2. Download Ralnk 2860STA drivers for linux.

3. Make the changes as saied in readme

4.make

5. make install

And you have working wifi. When ever I need to turn it of I can to it from beos or just boot up to Vista and turn it off

I hope it helps. And I hpe that theer will be soem update soon to fix that problem.
