Fedora 15 out of the box appeared to work with this wireless card, however I found that I could connect to one router with WEP, but not the other. Also using the Wifi key on the keyboard broke it.
Step 1 – Download
Download the driver from http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 .You want the RT3090PCIe file
Step 2 – Unpack The driver
unzip 2010_1217_RT3090_LinuxSTA_V2.4.0.4_WiFiBTCombo_DPO.zip cd 2010_1217_RT3090_LinuxSTA_V2.4.0.4_WiFiBTCombo_DPO cd os/linux
Step 3 – Edit config.mk
Use your normal editor to edit config.mk and change
#Support MAC80211 LINUX-only function HAS_CFG80211_SUPPORT=y To HAS_CFG80211_SUPPORT=n
Step 4 – Build and Install It
cd ../.. make make install
