I'm using ubuntu 14.04 64bits, and this wireless pen to connect to the internet.

I've tried to update the driver from RT2870 to RT3070, downloading the latest linux drivers from SMC website.

After that, my wireless networks disappeared and I can't connect.

Here's the output of lsusb when pen connected:

Bus 003 Device 006: ID 083a:a701 Accton Technology Corp. SMCWUSBS-N3 EZ Connect N Wireless Adapter [Ralink RT3070]

The output of nmcli nm:

RUNNING STATE        WIFI-HARWARE WIFI    WWAN-HARDWARE WWAN



running disconnected enabled      enabled enabled       disabled

What's happenning?

Thanks for your help!

After I've made what chili555 told, I've notice that the rt2800usb wasn't loading at boot, so I had to assure that the module was loaded at boot:

sudo modprobe -v rt2800usb

I already had removed the blacklisted drivers from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Next I added rt2800usb to /etc/modules:

sudo nano /etc/modules

Rebooted and my wireless starts up automatically.

Note: when making lsusb my info remais the same:

Bus 003 Device 006: ID 083a:a701 Accton Technology Corp. SMCWUSBS-N3 EZ Connect N Wireless Adapter [Ralink RT3070]

Worked like a charm! :) Thanks chili555!
