    Cool Ubuntu Tenda Wireless card issue

    Hey Guys,
    So i want to make the switch from windows to Linux, i am ready and know all of the software alternatives. There is one thing holding me back, my wireless card which was purchased only a few weeks ago and refuses to work on ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
    The wireless card is a "Tenda W322p" , I have tried to use the "windows wireless drivers " package but i cant find "inf" files with my driver sets, even extracting the .exe there is no ".inf" file.
    Any help is Greatly appreciated
    Thanks, Ryan

    It looks like this card uses the rt2860sta driver, though we'll want the output from the link roky posted to be sure.

    If so, directions for building the driver are here.
