Hey All,
In looking for a solution for the subject wireless on my friend's Asus A54C laptop I found this entry:
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=39054&forum=5...
rt2860-firmware-26-1.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm kmod-rt5390sta-2.5.0.3-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
This solution appears to have worked for the RT3090. Would these be the right rpm's for my friend to install to get his RT5390 working? No wait, I found this using the Add/Remove software tool. The rt2860 rpm says, "This package contains the firmware required by Ralink RT28XX/RT30XX".
I don't see a package for the RT53XX. What now Charley Brown?
That firmware is the correct firmware for that package - if you try to install that driver rpm you will find it actually Requires that firmware package so yum will pull it in automatically for you.
You need to find out a vendor:device ID pairing of your device. For details, please see ELRepo FAQ #4 at:
Akemi
For more help (if required), please follow Akemi's advice above.
I maintain these Ralink wireless driver packages for elrepo. I've had virtually zero feedback on whether they work or not - if they don't work for you then I'm happy to work with you to fix the issue, although the elrepo bug tracker/mailing lists are probably the best place for that.
These particular vendor-supplied drivers are largely unmaintained by Ralink now - their developers appear to prefer to maintain the drivers in the kernel tree. To that end, the compat-wireless package may also contain drivers for your device, but we are unable to offer any more specific advice without knowing vendor:device ID pairing as mentioned by Akemi.
Hope that helps.
