[SOLVED] zorin not working with my wireless card.

Hi Dave,

open the control center > hardware > additional drivers and see if your Wifi is listed!!. You can also install your graphic card drivers with the same tool!!.

Let us know if this helps.

madvinegar wrote:If the above will not work, follow these instructions:

1. Go to http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support ... php?sn=501 and download the ralink driver RT539x PCIe.
2. Go to where the file is downloaded (probably in your "Downloads" file) and right-click "extract here". A file called something like "2010_1216_RT5390_LinuxSTA_V2.4.0.4_WiFiBTCombo_DPO" will be extracted.
3. Inside the file you will find a document called "config.mk". Right-click it and select "open with gedit".
4. Make these changes: set "HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y" and "HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y". Save and exit.
5. Open terminal and navigate to the extracted file. i.e.

Code:

cd /home/your username/Downloads/2010_1216_RT5390_LinuxSTA_V2.4.0.4_WiFiBTCombo_DPO

6. Run the following commands:

Code:

sudo su
make
make install
modprobe rt5390sta
exit

Worked perfectly - THANK YOU!!
Regards
Dave


NOTE: I have read that with kernel versions after 3.xx.x the ralink driver is recognized autmatically so you may want to wait for Zorin 6 core. (or try the zorin 6 core RC).
