sjaglin Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hi, My edimax usb wifi dongle ew7711utn( lsusb : Bus 001 Device 005: ID 7392:7711 ) used to work really well and it seems that along some upgrades (2009.1 -> 2010 I think) it stopped working. Symptom : The connection doesn't seem to work although there is a bit of signal according to the bars (1 red little bar). Drivers : The driver which use to work was rt2870sta and a new driver is now used by mandriva by default : root@localhost steph]# lsmod | grep 3070 rt3070sta 507060 1 usbcore 185744 6 rt3070sta,uhci_hcd,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd,usbhid tail -f /var/log/messages : Feb 24 20:00:46 localhost klogd: usb 1-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 Feb 24 20:00:47 localhost klogd: usb 1-6: New USB device found, idVendor=7392, idProduct=7711 Feb 24 20:00:47 localhost klogd: usb 1-6: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Feb 24 20:00:47 localhost klogd: usb 1-6: Product: 802.11 n WLAN Feb 24 20:00:47 localhost klogd: usb 1-6: Manufacturer: Ralink Feb 24 20:00:47 localhost klogd: usb 1-6: SerialNumber: 1.0 Feb 24 20:00:47 localhost klogd: usb 1-6: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice . . .

Not sure what to do now, any ideas? Thank you STef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 If you modprobe -r the new driver, and then modprobe the old one, does it work? If so, then how are you trying to blacklist the other one? Under /etc/modprobe.d by creating a new file? Or some other way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaglin Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hi Ian, Am afraid the modprobe manip doesn't work, the blacklisting was done following instructions I saw on an ubuntu forum where people where discussing the issue. There are indications here (ubuntuforums.org) that the problem is well known with the device.A shame as I chose edimax for their Linux support. It seems that there is a file somewhere which needs a bit of fiddling with but it might take me a few weeks to find it out! Stef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
