Caution: I'm a newb.
Hardware: Giada i35G, cedar trail atom with nvidia gf119, railtek ethernet and Ralink 3290 for wireless.
Already accomplished: Installed Ubuntu 12.10, loaded GPU drivers and redirected sound out through GPU card to HDMI. Ethernet works like a charm.
Issue: Can't get my wireless up and running. There seems to be no package to which I can simply run a sudo get-aspt install ...
I found the corresponding Linux driver from the manufacturer's site, but I have not managed to find out what to with the file. Here's the manufacturers site: http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support/support.php?sn=501 I get a file with the following name: \2012_0508_RT3290_Linux_STA_v2.6.0.0.bz2
I hope somebody might be able to tell me what to do next.
Thanks for reading and apologies for potentially asking a trivial question.
Best regards, Matt
