Wireless without the nonsense for Ubuntu Linux. No headaches, just working wireless - models described are the Edimax EW-7318USG and EW-7318UG - Goto NewEgg.com for both - just use site search.

  • i just ordred a edimax ew-7718un, and i use ubuntu 10,04. would i just plug it in or would i have to install cd first.

  • @eshoelick Nope across the board. It's not either of the two adapters listed in my video and the install CD will NOT help.

  • @eshoelick I will be posting the how-to for ew-7718un at Matt Hartley Dot Com over the weekend. It's not difficult, but it's not automatic by any stretch either.

  • thanks you really helped me understand

  • @vhanla

    Well, I have found Wicd to work "okay", but

    not consistently. Use network manager, DON'T

    install stuff from source for Ralink,

    problem solved. ;)

  • @ctsdownloads I'm using WICD. With Ralink Legacy, because the others wext, ndiswrapper, etc show -1 dBm on all of them

  • @vhanla

    You using network manager? All I do is

    connect using WPA2/Personal - works like

    a champ with Ubuntu 9.10

  • @ctsdownloads Edimax EW-7318USG which lsusb shows as 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501USB Wireless Adapter.

    It worked well with WEP, but since my ap changed to WPA2PSK AES I couldn't connect.

  • @vhanla

    1) Which of the two SPECIFIC adapters?

    2) You lost me with support once you

    started messing with the code. It works out of the

    box on Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10.

    Messing with serialmonkey's code was unneeded

    and likely will create problems.

  • I've been trying to make it work with WPA2PSK AES which uses a special ascii chars in the passwords (in windows Alt+combination), but on Ubuntu 9.04 it can't with default drivers, I tried installing serialmonkeys, but no success.

    Somebody, please help.
