I downloaded Ubuntu 7.04 having the feeling that it would recognize my
wireless PCI card (RALINK RT2500 chipset) but it seems not to.

In Network Tools, only the local loop and the Ethernet device are shown.

lspci however does show the card.

1) What does this signify?

2) What do I do next? (I have the drivers on a thumb drive).

Thanks.



searching google for ralink rt2500 +ubuntu brings up a lot of sites.


Hmmm...maybe I'll try that.
This one seems right on target;

Thanks. It's not quite spot on as (1) I did a fresh install, not an
upgrade; and (2) I will have no Internet connection with this computer
until the wireless is working.

However, the question of whether 7.04 knows about RT2500 cards is "no"!
