[LIVE]Ralink 2561ST PCI Card guide request - Krispy101 - 2010-06-16
Hello guys,
My wireless card finally arrived!
However, I followed the guide inserting all of the data into /etc/network/interfaces and the rest, however, I still don't seem to be able to access the network without an ethernet cable plugged in.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Kris

What? Live doesn't have the package 'lshw' installed...?
Well lets install it:
Code: sudo apt-get install lshw

Lets see if it can scan:
Code: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
Hopefully it finds you Access Point.
I am trying to find the post that explains how to set up wireless in Live...

And here is the output of that:
Code: wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Device or resource busy

No-one?
