I just installed opensuse 11.1 32bit
Linux design 2.6.27.23-0.1-pae #1 SMP 2009-05-26 17:02:05 -0400 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I have a Linksys wusb600n, which I understand has a rt2870 chip on it.
I have read many threads on how to install this adapter and nothing has worked.
The closest I got was following this thread, opensuse 11.1 versus Linksys WUSB600n - Page 5 - openSUSE Forums
After doing that, I can scan the signals, but it does not connect. I though it would be the security, so I tried it on the router with open signal, and still does not work.
At this point I uninstalled all the ralink and rt2870 RPMs, and removed any modules that have anything to do with rt2870.
The funny thing is that if I type iwconfig I get this:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
ra0 RT2870 Wireless ESSID:""

and ifconfig gives me this:

this comes up when I type lsusb

I also tried downloading the rt2870sta driver from Ralink website and compiling it, and following all the instructions. and still no connection.
As I mentioned before, I’m starting from scratch, since I uninstalled all RPMs and modules.
Does anybody knows what could the problem be?
If you need me to post more info, let me know!
