You will find some helpful info here.

I would just say that if youreach a point at which you are sure the module is loading and it should be working but will not connect, be aware that the KDE4 network applet is very buggy. The wicd network manager is much more reliable for wireless configuration.

Re: Internet

Thank you but im not too advanced with the words. /quoteStep 3 - Open a terminal and navigate to the newly created WUSB600N folder
Step 4 - type "sudo make" without quotes
Step 5 - Copy the file:

* sudo mkdir /etc/Wireless
* sudo mkdir /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA
* sudo cp RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat

Step 6 - open the WUSB600N/os/linux folder and type "sudo insmod rt2870sta.ko" again without quotes.
/unquote
Im abit stuck there

Re: Internet

As you start quoting at step3 you imply you've completed step1&2?

In that case you should know the path to the new folder as you just created it...
Do you know how to open the terminal (in KDE it's called Konsole) and do you now the cd command?

Please be more specific.

Re: Internet

I think we are getting pieces here. It seems you are stuck at getting things from Windows on the same machine to Linux. Open Dolphin (filemanager under Kubuntu) and you may see on the left something like "Volume(NTFS)". If so click on it and you will have access to your Windows partition. If not you can edit /etc/fstab (file system table) to add an entry for your Windows partition so it will be mounted at boot.

These directions will assume you have Windows installed on the first partition of your first hard drive, that your username is myuser, and that you want to mount the Windows partition so that myuser can read and write to it. When loogged in as myuser , open a terminal and run

mkdir Windows
to make the mount point. Then

kdesuo kate /etc/fstab
will open the fstab file in an editor as root so you can write it.
Add a line like this
/dev/sda1 /home/myuser/Windows ntfs defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000
Replace myuser with you real username and if the numeric uid or gid is not 1000, change that to what your uid:gid is. You can find these by running "id" in a terminal. If your Windows partition is actually the second partition on the first disk you would use /dev/sda2 instead of /dev/sda1.

Save the fstab file and run
sudo mount /dev/sda1
and you are done.

Re: Internet

When you say the edit tab, you mean the edit tab is dolphin right? Because I cant find ETC after.

Re: Internet

Please reply. Sorry for the bump

Re: Internet

Read carefully what I said. I did not refer to "an edit tab", I said you can edit a file named /etc/fstab. I am a little reluctant to continue until you can follow what I said, because it it only likely to get worse.

Re: Internet

Sorry....... But is the file in dolphin as well? Sorry im trying to find it but I can't.

Re: Internet

The file could be found through Dolphin but it will do you little good to find it that way. The first part of my post dealt with finding the volume in Dolphin, on the left side. After that my post moves to doing things in a terminal window. If the volume does not show up on the left side of Dolphin, open a terminal (Konsole) and work from there.
