Hello,
I’ve recently installed Beta 5 on an Asus Eee laptop, dual booting with Windows 7. Works wonderfully, except for the wi-fi: even though my network card – RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe – is supposed to be supported, it shows no available wireless networks. It worked fine on Windows.
Could anyone help?
Thanks.
Welcome Freple!
First things first, could you upload your syslog so we could see what might be going wrong? This file should be found at /var/log/syslog.
In addition, please type out “listdev” into Terminal and paste the output here.
Sure thing! You can find the file here, I couldn’t manage to upload it here directly. The result of listdev is as follows:

@lelldorin Database is wrong on vendor name, Realtek devices names are starting with RTL, RT stands for Ralink Technology here.
It doesn’t seems like that vendor/device ID is supported by the current ralinkwifi driver (albeit it does mentions an MSI RT3090 card, with different ids).
The chip being from Ralink, the MSI card is probably only rebranding. It may worth the try to add IDs to the driver.
Perhaps is it possible to retrieve few more IDs from generic drivers provided by MediaTek here or there although they include support for different chips.
I’m sorry, I don’t think I understand what I’m supposed to do. Could you explain in more detail?
Apparently the driver needs to be updated to recognize your card. So, unless you have some developer skills and can try that by yourself, there’s not much you can do to make it work.
You can open a ticket on Haiku bug tracker joining relevant informations and a link to this thread. A dev will then do the changes and may ask you to do some testing. Understand that with beta 5 out, there are a lot of reports so it can take time.
Sorry for the confusion… Seems I mistyped while searching for the ID… and also I need better glasses… because current driver does lists:
{ 0x1814, 0x3090, "Ralink Technology RT3090" },
on line 89.
In any case @Freple, follow @Starcrasher advice, and file a bug report (info about how to make the most out of those here: Reporting bugs).
Alright, I’ll file a report as soon as I have a minute. Thank you all!
