Restoring Wireless Connectivity in Ubuntu 12.04

Post by Mishra »

So we seemed to have all the glitches worked out in setting up Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on our Fit-PC2i and then when we installed updates it disabled the wireless connection. I'm trying to bring it back using the RT3090-DKMS driver but now I keep getting an error with unmet dependencies. I'm pretty new at Linux so this is well beyond my capabilities.

Ok, that seems to have eliminated the dependencies. Do you have suggestions on how to either roll back the update or install new drivers for the Wi-Fi? We're using the FIt PC to control a vehicle and need wireless comms.

On Ubuntu 12.04 and LinuxMint 13 rt3090 wireless should work out-of-the box, even after updates. No need to install any rt3090-dkms.
Please try to install using our wiki page:

I am experiencing the same issue.

I installed Lubuntu 12.10 on my fit-PC2 SSD, and everything worked perfectly out of the box. However, after running 'sudo apt-get update', the wireless broke. It works every few reboots, but otherwise is shown as DISABLED in `sudo lshw -C network` and wireless device not ready.

Hi,
Wi-Fi chip on fit-PC2i is a USB device, do you see it if you run lsusb command?
