Hi, I ran into problems with my Ralink Wi-Fi network adapter on fresh Ubuntu 16.04. After some extensive web search I've found your repo with fixed driver. However, I was unable to make it operable using commands in Troubleshooting section of README. I overcome this situation with the following commands:
iwconfig
enp6s0 no wireless extensions.
enp5s0 Ralink STA
Ok, now we know that enp5s0 is our wi-fi interface.
iwlist scan
enp6s0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
enp5s0 Failed to read scan data : Network is down
Ok, now we know that is is down.
sudo ifconfig enp5s0 up
service network-manager restart
After that wi-fi connection was successfully established.
I think it is better to update Troubleshooting section with this list of command to allow user to understand what's wrong with their network and how to properly get it up. Anyway thank your for the working driver!
