Help installing (compiling) Wireless card drivers Asus PCE-N13

English Hardware
1

Hi all,

I have a Wireless PCI-Express Adapter which I wish to install the drivers, though am having difficulty.

The chipset on my card is a Ralink. I have visited the Ralink Website Ralink corp. and downloaded the RT2860 Wireless Lan Linux Driver version 2.3.0.0.

I have extracted the files within my home directory. I have read the readme file, and from what I understand I have needed to do… I have typed in the Make command as a “super user”.

Unfortunately I have had no success and it states the following output. Until now I have not had success in compiling software and would really really appreciate some assistance in doing so. If someone could help decode the meaning and help me decipher what to do with the following output that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you…

From what I see, you’re running openSUSE 11.2, which has kernel 2.6.31. This kernel supports the rt2860 device, i.e. the driver is already in the kernel so something else must be wrong.

Does Yast see the not card?

No, it doesn’t seem to be appearing in YAST.
I have though connected the PCI-Express adaptor and the light is switched on, therefore the card appears to be functioning.

Hi,

The following is an output of lspci:
The card is a PCI-Express one, so I’m not sure why it is not being recognised. Especially as the light is displayed at the back.
