At the Command Line
Initial Setup
Based on a problem reported in /var/log/messages. (See resources below.)
sudo mkdir -p /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA sudo touch /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat sudo service network-manager restart
Status
ifconfig iwconfig iwlist wlan0 scan lspci | grep Network sudo lshw -C network
Configure
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
The following didn't work. According to some of the resources cited below, the issue may be the the driver was not compiled with the command line option. The GUI option works.
eepp@tabor:~$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "zdomeWLAN" key xxxxxxxxxx
[sudo] password for eepp:
eepp@tabor:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
