RecentlyI've purchased HP Compaq Presario CQ56 laptop with Suse Enterprise Linux preloaded. First thing I've done after first boot is removing Suse and installing Ubuntu Maverick. I didn't try installing latest Ubuntu Natty because of my hate-hate relationship with Unity and Linux kernel 2.6.38 power drain bug. So far everything works great only I had little trouble with integrated HD4200 graphics power usage, but open source driver I'm using is getting better every release togeather with its power management subsystem. In one of the next articles I will show you what I've done to turn open source ati radeon driver power management on.

Notice (01.02.2012.): I've created Ubuntu PPA with updated Ralink driver supporting rt3090 wireless devices on all officially supported versions of Ubuntu Linux operating system on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and 10.10 versions of Ubuntu Linux operating system. More info here.

In this article I will show you how to install proprietary Ralink RT3090 wireless network card driver using Markus Heberling PPA (thanks Markus for your great work). Reason I've chose proprietary instead of open source that comes by default on Ubuntu is that open source driver even it is good doesn't find all my networks in the area I use my laptop. So here it is ...

por favor, ser que vocs podem me ajudar? tenho um hp, 4gb, 64bits, com w7, e minha internet com mini modem 3g da tim, marca onda, que no w7 funciona bem. estou tentando instalar o ubuntu 10.10, s que no consigo me conectar com o mini modem. ele nem aparece no ubuntu. se nalguem puder me ajudar, por favor me mande no email : asac...@gmail.com . obrigado desde j!

No problem, Marcus H. is the one who maintains PPA and he gets the credit for nice package for proprietary Ralink driver. It is sad that current state of open source Ralink driver (rt2800pci) is poor so we have no choice but to install yet another proprietary driver. But it works great ?

Awesome thanks for the guide. This worked on all my ubunto machines upto 11.04. I just upgraded to 11.10 and the ralink 3090 just works, i needed to remove the third party driver and the previous blacklist and it worked.

I`m trying to configure this stupid RaLink RT3090 on a HP 620 with backtrack 5 KDE and no luck so far ? Can you please help me? I tried your suggestion but its not working!

Here are few commands:

Probably not, this PPA supports Ubuntu based distros up to Natty (11.04) and you are probably using Oneiric (11.10). Oneiric and newer should have decent ralink driver bundled with kernel (not perfect though).

Great stuff, worked first time on my Acer Revo with Ubuntu 10.04. Also found it useful to blacklist acer-wmi which was bringing up an error message at boot, although not preventing operation of new driver.

Funcionando perfectamente en una Compaq Mini cq10-400 con Lubuntu 10.04 y una red inalmbrica RaLink RT3090. Es una pena que no pueda compilarse el driver para kernels > 3.0.0. De todas formas, un gran trabajo! Saludos desde Argentina.
