[Bug 893464] Re: D-Link DWA-525 wireless desktop PCI adapter doesn't work under Oneiric

 

Chris Hermansen, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** Tags added: bios-outdated-2.6.6 needs-upstream-testing

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

Title:
  D-Link DWA-525 wireless desktop PCI adapter doesn't work under Oneiric

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I recently purchased a D-Link DWA-525 wireless desktop PCI adapter.
  It is identified as a RALINK rt2800 style card but the driver provided
  with the system does not work with this device (wireless networking
  disabled).

  The latest drivers from http://www.ralinktech.com/en/ - that is,
  DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217.tgz - work fine when
  installed as per the following instructions:

  http://steveswinsburg.wordpress.com/2011/03/12/how-to-install-a-d
  -link-dwa-525-wireless-network-card-in-ubuntu-10-04/

  Of course, they need to be re-built and re-installed every time a new
  kernel comes along... and meanwhile, the network isn't working...

  Is there any way to get this fixed so that the correct drivers,
  correctly configured, are installed by default for this device?

  Thanks!
