Cards that report this chipset are being sold as Linux compatible e.g. Azio AWD102N
They are linux compatible but ubuntu does not have native support. However they are easy enough to get installed.
N.B. There are reports online that these use the rt2860 driver. They don't though they share firmware and and the config file for the rt3062 is also called RT2860STA.dat
--Howto Install--
- Download the driver & firmware from the Ralink website. You need this package: RT3062PCI/mPCI/CB/PCIe(RT3060/RT3062/RT3562/RT3592
- Extract the folder and save it somewhere.
- In the folder you will see a file called Makefile. Ensure it says:
RT28xx_MODE = STA
&TARGET = LINUX
at the top.
- Edit
os/linux/config.mk
so it says setHAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y
andHAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y
. - As root in a termnial cd into this folder. and issue the following commands (N.B. for some reason make fails if you are not root, it will also fail if you change to root as the makefile will import the wrong shell variables so try soing this as sudo first.)
make
make install
sudo cp RT2860STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat
modprobe rt3562sta
It should now be picked up by network manager. (This page was created after following this procedure)
