Comment 0 for bug 541620

Installed Lucid Alpha 2 and the daily build but the RT3090 Wireless chip isn't supported.

This works in Karmic using this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~markus-tisoft/+archive/rt3090

In Lucid it seems to want to try to use the chip, and it creates a device and loads the rt3090sta module but iwlist scanning doesn't return any results.

lspci -vvv (from karmic):

Sorry not sure what package this driver is from (Linux-firmware?) but let me know if you need any more info.

This chip is in an Asus EEE 1001HA.
