Thread: Help needed to setup TP LINK TL-WN727N


hi can point me in right direction please.

have purchased tp link tl-wn727n usb wireless adapter use ubuntu 11.10 installation (running unity). shown working device here.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ha...rdstp-link#usb

lsusb shows device as

bus 001 device 006: id 148f:5370 ralink technology, corp

iwconfig shows no wlan0 connection. shows ethernet , local connections (eth0, eth1 , lo)

read adapter (tp link tl-wn727n) works rt2870sta driver , had disable other drivers in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf.

added following conf file (as recommended here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1340584).

#disable misbehaving ralink drivers.
#the wn727n needs rt2870sta driver.
blacklist rt2800usb
blacklist rt2x00usb
blacklist rt2x00lib

, that's far i've got. can me usb adapter working. i'm not asking step step instructions (although nice), pointers me further forward.

i've searched firmware adpater not find on manufacturers website.

hi,

driver rt2870sta no longer part of linux kernel (since 3.x). try add device id driver rt2800usb:

code:
echo 'install rt2800usb modprobe --ignore-install rt2800usb ; /bin/echo "148f 5370" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2800usb/new_id' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rt2800usb.conf  sudo modprobe -v rt2800usb
and replug stick. if works need take drivers off blacklist afterwards.
