Cannot get wireless working please help! - mrloofer - 2011-01-06
I've recently moved my machine to a different room where there is no hard wire so have to use wireless. I am using the Linksys WUSB600N USB adapter and I have downloaded and built the Ralink driver necessary to work with this adapter. I then followed the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834 to get the network config and wpa-suplicant set up. Everything looks good but I still have no internet access and it's driving me batty!
On restarting the network I see the following:
iwconfig:
Code:
ra0 Ralink STA ESSID:"AppleExtreme_Home" Nickname:"RT2870STA"
Mode: Auto Frequency=5.745 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate: 300 Mb/s
RTS thr: off Fragment thr: off
Link Quality: 70/100 etc. etc./etc/network/interfaces:
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp
wpa-driver wext
wpa-sp-scan 1
wpa-proto RSN
wpa-pairwise CCMP
wpa-group CCMP
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-ssid AppleExtreme_Home
wpa-psdk f123165362362635265365490730147 etc. (built using wpa_passphrase)When I do a network stop/start all looks good.
ifconfig -a:
Code:
ra0 Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr etc.
inet addr: 192.168.0.134 Bcast: 192.168.0.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0
RX packets: 30215 errors:0 dropped:0
TX packets: 15450 errors:0 dropped:0
RX bytes: 6970516 TX bytes: 1514099So looks like I got an IP from DHCP = good.
However I cannot access the network at all both in or out. Did I miss something?
Cheers!

What are the steps you took to come to that conclusion?
Can you ping a site from the terminal?
Code:
ping www.google.comThat card is known to work. I have it myself. Do you have V1 or V2
What are the OS details? LIVE?

Linux can handle both wifi and wired connections by using link aggregation or similar, a quick google search will reveal the how -tos.
