I've got the same situation: lspci tells me: 03:00.0 Network controller: RaLink RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe According to google: Subject: [PATCH] Staging: remove no longer needed rt3090 driver rt2860 handles now all rt2860/rt3090 chipsets. According to Marcus (Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:44:53 +0100) The rt3090 comment was probably for a newer kernel. 2.6.31 did not have it in staging yet, and 2.6.32 still has it in staging. Please open a Enhancement bug, request merging the rt3090 driver in our 11.2 kernel or so. Ciao, Marcus I can do a modprobe -vvv rt2860sta, but that doesn't do a thing Noticed on the suse forum a reference to firmware at http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/ But that's a unreadable taiwanese site I did Install "kernel-firmware" and "rt280" package, noticed the RT2860STA.dat file. (without any other info, I presume i should be copied to /lib/firmware??) And noticed a rt2860.bin file over-there, Googling further i found: # $/sbin/insmod rt2860sta.ko # $/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up But that only yields: ra0 unknown interface, No such device trying to add this kernelmodule to the device with "yast lan" doesn't help either. I just updated the rt2860/rt3090 driver on the 11.2 kernel so it's at the 2.6.33 level. I'd appreciate some testing once test kernels are available at: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-11.2/openSUSE_11.2/ The changelog entry you're looking for is obvious since it contains about 120 patches. Thank you! I will make some testing next week and tell you. downloaded kernel-desktop-2.6.31.12-15.1.i586.rpm, installed it and rebooted. Any other actions i should have performed, as neither ifconfig -a, nor iwconfig shows anything new.... Oh whoops. I didn't push that commit. That kernel doesn't have the updates. I've just pushed the commit with the driver update. It should be available soon.
The top of the changelog entry looks like:
- rt2860/rt3090 fix rollup:
just installed /root/kernel-desktop-2.6.31.12-16.1.i586.rpm wlan device came up automagically, looks promissing !!! I hope this patch is included in M3 or will it be in M4 ? This report was against 11.2. The next milestone will have the drivers automatically without further intervention. Closing as fixed. |
