This page or section appears to be out of date or otherwise inaccurate.
Please edit as seems necessary, removing the {{cleanup}} tag when you are through.
This is a USB wireless adapter that advertises itself has having 'Linux Support' on the box. However it is not 'plug'n'play' and can be a little tricky to get it working. (it does work, however, I'm using it to write this page). (This is under 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx)
I got it to work by cobbling together instructions from a variety of threads on the ubuntu forums and tried a variety of thins before it worked properly. As a result i did some steps you will not need to. It seems there is some native support for the drivers but I ended up compiling a driver. This may not be necessary so first I will list the things I do know you need to do to get it to work, then show how to compile the driver if this does not work.
In a terminal:
1. sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/network_drivers.rules
Then cut and paste the following line into it. Proof-read it and make sure it is all on one line:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTR{idProduct}=="1784", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -qba rt2870sta"
2. sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/network_drivers.conf
Then cut and paste the following line into it. Proof-read it and make sure it is all on one line.
install rt2870sta /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install rt2870sta $CMDLINE_OPTS; /bin/echo "0b05 1784" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870/new_id
We now have a script that does the above: Media:Asus-n13.sh
3. reboot
If this does not work you will need to install the driver. Down load this [|file] and unpack it somewhere. (you should get a choice to open Archive manager when you download it).
Change into that directory and do:
sudo makesudo make install- then reboot.
OR try the RT3070 driver form this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1419504 with WICD
It should now all be working.
