Hello and big thanks to everyone in the askubuntu community who has been more than helpful in the learning process of Linux.
I'm Running ubuntu 12.04.3 on a hp g7 (dual booted with windows 7 utilizing a larger partition of my hard drive for now)
While I'm using the wifi network at the library using windows 7, I can connect with no problems. However when I boot into ubuntu 12.4 I have to move closer to the access point to connect wirelessly.
Chipset info: 01:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT5390 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe
Driver info: rt2800pci
I also downloaded/installed/updated RutilT (While learning linux I'm also trying to learn aircrack-ng suite for network auditing purposes)
I will happily provided more info if necessary. Thanks!
