Hi

 

I've two PCs with the same RaLink 3062 WiFi card.

Those cards are currently (since kernel 2.6.38 or 37) supported by kernel (modules marked as stable).

 

The problem is that on one of the computers I've debian testing with 2.6.39 kernel and it automatically loads proper modules and WiFi card works, and on Mageia PC nothing happens.

 

I tried both 2.6.38 and 3.0.0 kernels (on Mageia) and:

* no module is loaded automatically

* even if I load proper module manually, nothing happens (module seems to be somehow not related to proper device)

 

some info:

lspci -v

 

debian:

05:03.0 Network controller: RaLink Device 3062

mageia:

iwconfig

 

debian:

lo no wireless extensions.

 

eth1 no wireless extensions.

 

eth0 no wireless extensions.

 

wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ....

 

 

mageia:

lo no wireless extensions.

 

eth0 no wireless extensions.

 

 

any ideas what can be wrong (maybe blocked somewhere?) ?

I'm using Mageia 1, but for tests I've installed kernel 3.0.0 from Cauldron

 

Best regards
