Re: Wireless usb device not working [SOLVED]

[Matt Harrison <matt.harrison82@gmail.com>]

I found a post on the Linux Mint Forums that fixed my issue.

I ran the following commands:

echo 'install rt2870sta modprobe --ignore-install rt2870sta ;
/bin/echo "1737 0078" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870/new_id' | tee
/etc/modprobe.d/rt2870sta.conf
modprobe -rf rt2870sta
modprobe rt2870sta
dmesg | egrep 'rt28|usb|Phy'
iwconfig

echo rt2870sta | tee -a /etc/modules
