I got it onto Ubuntu 12.10 and then followed these instructions. Works perfectly. One suggestion: doing ‘extract here’ from the GUI didnt really extract the archive properly, so instead i did it from the command line with a ‘tar xjvf 2011_xxx_xxxetc.bz2.bz2′. That seemed to extract the archive with no worries and all was hunky dory after that.

Cheers for this, Steve !

Download http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_downloads/01-1_windowsDetail.php?sn=5001 it to your desktop. Right-click it and select ‘extract here.’ It is handily a bz2.bz2 file, so you may have to ‘extract here’ a couple of times. Good work, Ralink! Now open a terminal and, with an internet connection, do:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential
Open the folder you extracted and drill down to os/linux/config.mk and with a text editor change:
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y
Proofread, save and close the text editor. Now open the file os/linux/pci_main_dev.c with a text editor. After the line:
{PCI_DEVICE(NIC_PCI_VENDOR_ID, NIC5362_PCI_DEVICE_ID)},
Add this line:
{PCI_DEVICE(NIC_PCI_VENDOR_ID, NIC5360_PCI_DEVICE_ID)},
(the empty space before the text is made with the tab key)
Everything before and after is unchanged. Spacing, punctuation, brackets, etc. are crucial. Proofread carefully twice before you save and close the text editor. Now back to the terminal:
cd Desktop/2011
Press Tab and the rest will fill in automagically. Press Enter.
sudo su
make (you will have to wait a few minutes probably till finishes)
make install
modprobe rt5390sta
echo rt5390sta >> /etc/modules
exit
Your wireless should now be working.

I have the DWA-525 RT5360. I followed the exact procedure having doubts it would work. The driver rt3562sta appears in my list. But as soon as I reboot it disappears. Also when I do a ifconfig wlan0 up, it says ”no such device detected” (or something like that, I am not home).

So if someone has an idea…? Or found a way to install the 5360 card.

Thanks a lot !

I believe the gradebook tool uses them successfully though? I never bothered to investigate further and just ran some SQL to create the indexes I needed.
