Help reqd in installing wireless usb on fed 14
Hello all,
I am fed up on trying to install my newly purchased usb wireless antenna to my fedora14 machine; so I seek help of all you linux masterminds out there. It worked well in my Win XP. Please help me in setting up it to my Fedora. [I have been trying to get some solution from google as well from past 2 days which did not help].

Details follows:

The device model is : Aztech Wireless-N USB2.0 - WL552USB
Code:

where did you get the RT2870-specific RPMs from? RPMfusion?
# 3  
Old 12-21-2010
yes.. I did yum install rt2870. Do you have any advice for me..? However when I tried to do the below, I got yum error:
Code:
# yum install rt3070
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Adding en_US to language list
Setting up Install Process
No package rt3070 available.
Error: Nothing to do

I am sorry but I am still confused. Again, did you get the driver RPMs from RPMFusion?
# 5  
Old 12-22-2010
Yes... when I tried to install "yum install rt2870", it asked me to install rpmfusion before I could do this yum operation; and I did so.. So I believe that it is from rpmfusion.
I installed rpm fusion then the command "yum install rt2870" which installed the driver..
now...
Code:
# rpm -qa | grep -i rpm
