Wireless not working on EeePC 1000H

28 / 04 / 2009 · No comment ·

The other day I installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix, version 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) on an EeePc 1000H with great regret that I noticed that the wireless does not connect. Attributing blame to the network manager I tried to disable the WPA2 security on the router, but things did not improve.

The only solution I found, thanks to the international forum of ubuntu, is to do a downgrade to version 1.7.1.1 driver RT2860

The thing is very simple:

1) Download the drivers http://www.array.org/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/eeepc/binary-i386/rt2860-dkms_1.7.1.1_all.deb

2) Open a terminal and issue the commands
cd / lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/rt2860 /
sudo mv rt2860sta.ko rt2860sta.bak
to prevent the loading of drivers preinstalled

3) Now install the downloaded package first, which in turn will download some dependencies. If the procedure does not work check that you have installed the packages build-essential, linux-headers-generic dkms and

4) Restart the system and now everything should work without problems!

I hope to be helpful : wink:
