Title: Ralink usb wifi issues
Post by: Dart on March 18, 2014, 02:54:47 PM: LinuxLite user for some time now (got here from old location notice)

Replaced wireless usb from an Alfa - G ... which is Ralink to an Alfa N usb which is also Ralink...
(Ralink Technologies 802.11n usb wireless)

Windows 7 picked it up instantly but I have lost wireless with LL completely.

Don't know how to install these since the inintial LL installation took care of setting up the previous wifi configuration.

There is are 2 included Linux driver tar files one in a folder titled 3070 and the other in a folder titled 2770. No instructions included :-\
