It runs Windows 7 64 bit and I'm trying to use a Belkin N Wireless USB network adaptor (Model number F5D8053, version 6002) which is W7 compatible. However I cannot get my desktop PC to connect. My Asus EEE netbook and my HTC Desire HD phone connected no problem. I connected it yesterday and it works fine. They supply a wireless router (in this case the BT Home Hub 3). This will restart your network card and hopefully connect you to the network.I've recently moved house (in the UK) and have had to switch my broadband supplier to BT. You should adapt this to your level of encryption.Īfter saving these changes (CTRL and X followed by ‘y’ and hit return) type the following: The above configuration is for WPA TKIP wireless encryption. Pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set WPAPSK=your_network_encryption_key Now we can configure the wireless settings and start doing what people do with networks.

Usbcore 138760 7 usb_storage,xpad,usbhid,libusual,rt73,ohci_hcdĪs you can see the rt73 driver is loaded. Under ‘usbcore’ you should see something like this : Save the file by holding CTRL and X then hit Y and return. Now append the following to the end of this file:

We now need to blacklist these drivers from ever starting again. This brings down your adaptor, if it is up, and then removes any dud drivers. Unfortunately Ubuntu doesn’t realize this and will continue to load the same driver when you plug your device in – so we need to get rid of it and any others that Ubuntu feels might work.

!!! Check your kernel settings or use 'strip'Īs mentioned previously Ubuntu tries to install a driver to use with the adapter – but this is crap. !!! WARNING: Module file much too big (>1MB) When you do this you may get some output at the end which says the following : This will compile the driver using the linux (kernel) headers installed previously. Move to the directory in step 4 above and type : You will probably need your Ubuntu install disk for the above.
Sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` To ensure this goes smoothly you will need to install the kernel headers. We need to compile the driver that we just downloaded. Now we are ready to get into the good stuff. Change into the directory of the untarred driver :.Put it in your home directory (/home/smcn for me). Next transfer the driver to your ubuntu machine.Download the following rt73 driver on another machine and transfer it to a pen drive or CD or heaven forbid – a floppy disk.
* I will make the assumption that you don’t have any internet access on the box. Ubuntu ver: Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 Server (i.e everything will be done from the command line – but Desktop users can just open a terminal and do exactly the same). Wireless USB : Belkin F5D9050B with chipset RT2671F So as help to anyone interested or just as a mental note I thought it pertinent to post about it. Thanks for the 5 hours wasted finding this one out, Ubuntu. What it doesnt let you do is actually connect to any. The driver actually does let you do some things i.e Scan for Wireless networks. What it doesnt seem to have is any intelligence to determine that the driver it just installed is of absolutely no use whatsoever.īut it doesnt stop there. Linux on the other hand decides that it might have a working driver and automatically sets it up for you. Plug the device into the USB port and its already being configured for you. I have been setting up a new development environment in the office and the one thing that is sure to always get me frustrated is properly configuring a wireless network adaptor on a linux system.
