Re: wireless connection with dlink dwa140 with ubuntu 10.10
Hi there, I had the same symptoms as you. Turns out it was two drivers fighting to get control of the dongle.
If you do: lsmod | grep rt
You'll see there is a rt2870 module loaded along with some rt2x00usb and rt2800usb. What a mess.
I just added these lines to my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
blacklist rt2800usb
blacklist rt2800lib
blacklist rt2x00usb
blacklist rt2x00lib
That's it...I think. I'm yet to reboot and see if the correct module loads by itself.
You can do the following to load it though:
sudo modprobe rt2870sta
