Here I plan on listing all of the hardware I have and how to get it working under Ubuntu/Kubuntu.
Ralink Wireless Card w/WPA
This card is supported out-of-the-box in Dapper Drake, and what is even better is that the card's driver supports WPA! Yup, no need to use WPA_supplicant, but you will need to use a GUI that supports WPA (for example KWlan) or make the following changes to /etc/network/interfaces:
auto ra0 iface ra0 inet dhcp pre-up iwconfig ra0 essid "youressid" pre-up iwconfig ra0 mode managed pre-up iwpriv ra0 set Channel=6 pre-up iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK pre-up iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=TKIP pre-up iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK="yourpassword" pre-up iwpriv ra0 set TxRate=0 ifup ra0
The changes you will have to make is to essid and WPAPSK and Channel, but also possibly to EncrypType if you use AES.
