My wireless drivers are missing and i cant seem to find them
this is my system
HP Pavilion g6-1d85nr Notebook PC

Hi,

try running the following terminal commands using a network cable connection:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f

And possibly this one if the above doesn't work?:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f

Hope it helps!.

Ideally, drivers would be already pre-installed and/or part of the kernel, but your particular hardware doesn’t in this case, either because they are non-free or temperamental.

Please could you share the output of these commands from the terminal:

lspci

This will output the ID of the connected components and their brands, we’ll be able to pinpoint which packages you need to compile/install for the wireless.

In case it is not the drivers you are missing and it's the so-called "hardware switch" that is disabled here is a solution:

If there someone out there that can help me, i would love that. Show me what to do.

I admit, hunting for drivers that aren't/can't be added to the kernel so it "just works" isn't the greatest thing.

First, we'd need to know exactly what wireless hardware inside the machine.

To do that, open the terminal (press CTRL+ALT+T as a shortcut) and type:

lspci

This lists the PCI devices installed on your machine. Copy the line containing the network adapter here (for us to see) and then the search can begin.

So, from that list, this is your wireless device:

07:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT5390 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe

Ralink hardware under Linux, this will be a little bit of a bumpy ride.

After a quick Google Search, I came across this thread (first result), and the last post links to this repository containing drivers for your device.

The README file has the instructions you need. Execute these commands in the terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) and with a bit of luck, you'll be able to build and install the drivers for your system:

How to install

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install git linux-headers-generic linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential dkms fakeroot

git clone https://github.com/agerwick/RT28XX-RT539X-Linux-driver

cd RT28XX-RT539X-Linux-driver

sudo make

sudo make install

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Add the following lines:

blacklist rt2800pci
blacklist rt2800lib
blacklist rt2x00usb
blacklist rt2x00pci
blacklist rt2x00lib
blacklist rt2860sta
blacklist rt3090sta

To save and exit, press Ctrl-X, Y, Enter

sudo nano /etc/modules

Add the following line:

rt5390sta

To save and exit, press Ctrl-X, Y, Enter

Now restart the computer, or alternatively:

sudo depmod -a

sudo modprobe -rfv rt2800pci

sudo modprobe -v rt5390sta

How to update the driver after a Linux kernel upgrade

To update the driver (or "recompile it for your current kernel", to be exact), run the shellscript included here, named "update-driver-after-kernel-upgrade".

If you were in your home directory (that's the default when you open a terminal) when you issued the "git clone" command above, then you can enter the following code in your terminal:

~/RT28XX-RT539X-Linux-driver/update-driver-after-kernel-upgrade

If you get stuck or encounter some problems, we might be able to help.

If this is your card:

02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Ralink corp. RT5390 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe [1814:5390]

Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company U98Z077.00 Half-size Mini PCIe Card [103c:1636]

Kernel driver in use: rt2800pci

This wireless card uses the rt2800pci kernel module which is included with the Linux kernel.

Make sure you have installed the package “linux-firmware” as this package has the necessary microcode for the wireless chip.

“dmesg | grep firmware” should show whether you have the correct microcode files.

kernel: ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Info - Loading firmware file ‘rt2860.bin’
kernel: ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Info - Firmware detected - version: 0.34

Still having the same issue, if possible could someone remote desktop me to help.

Hi @xCoryAKx,

there has been a new kernel update (4.4.0-22-generic), try doing a full system update and see if it solves the problem as has been pointed out above, your WiFi is in the kernel!:

xCoryAKx · 13 May 2016 19:15

The issue is still there I need a remote desktop help

Dave_Barnes · 13 May 2016 20:53

Have you tried “dmesg | grep firmware” like I suggested above?

RT5390 is well supported in Linux 4.4.x kernels.

wolfman · 14 May 2016 04:58

Did you try running the "Live CD" to see if it works in live mode?.

xCoryAKx · 14 May 2016 15:25

I have try ever Ubuntu that I can same issue with each one

larryb · 14 May 2016 16:38

You may want to make sure that your wireless is not being blocked by doing this...

At the terminal run:

sudo rfkill list

You should see something like this returned to the screen:

1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

If instead you see that the 'blocked' comes back as "yes" then note the number your WiFi is being assigned (in the example above it is a "1") from the terminal run the following with the noted number:

sudo rfkill unblock 1
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

If they are 'hard blocked' you may have set your BIOS to 'default' settings.

It looks like the driver could be the issue, in which case you could try is to take down the bad one and start up the good one by doing something like this in the terminal:

sudo rmmod rt28XX && modprobe rt2800pci

I am by no means any sort of “expert” although I’ve using ubuntu in one “flavor” or another for many years ever since XP drove me to find an alternative.

I have my first laptop, an old Presario C502 , a back-up machine which principally resides in my workshop and works through my lan. I had a “can’t find it” situation with the wifi and just about gave up on u-MATE until I found the following:

$ sudo apt-get --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
$ sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree
$ sudo modprobe b43
$ sudo su

echo “b43” … /etc/modules

It worked for me… but it’s not persistent. Upon every boot it requires I open a terminal and type in the sudo modprobe b43 command.

Any ideas on how I can make it persistent?

Speaking of persistence, I changed the computer’s password successfully and it works with sudo identification… until I reboot. Hints also needed here.

Thanks in advance from an 81 year old geek… sorta.
