Michael Rasmussen, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12-rc3 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 638791 old and faulty rt2860sta [The self compiled rt2860sta works.] ** Project changed: linux => linux (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437804 Title: commands to rt2860sta fails Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: distro: ubuntu 9.04 hardware: asus eee 901 driver: rt2860sta wicd: 1.5.9 When connection to an AP wicd sends this command sequence: 2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: Putting interface up... 2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: ifconfig ra0 up 2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: iwconfig ra0 mode Managed 2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: ['iwconfig', 'ra0', 'essid', 'kastrupBG', 'channel', '7', 'ap', '00:20:A6:56:58:5F'] 2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: Running DHCP 2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: /sbin/dhclient ra0 Apparently the command iwconfig ra0 mode Managed fails making all subsequent commands to the driver fail. This means the connection cannot be made. On the other hand skipping iwconfig ra0 mode Managed and going directly to ['iwconfig', 'ra0', 'essid', 'kastrupBG', 'channel', '7', 'ap', '00:20:A6:56:58:5F'] has the expected result, a connection is established.
