Asbjørn Gabrielsen, 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 (not the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. 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-rc7 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. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- 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/638791 Title: old and faulty rt2860sta [The self compiled rt2860sta works.] Status in The Linux Kernel: Expired Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This report concerns the Gigabyte AirCruiser N300 GN-WB31N-RH, with a Ralink RT2870 chip set. The problem seems to concern several other devices with this chipset as well, considering all the different guides I've come across while trying to make it work. There is several reports concerning this chip set here on launchpad, but it's still an issue, an issue that should be an easy fix for maverick. I'm running lucid (kernel 2.6.32-24 generic). First of all the current driver in the kernel is old. The latest driver (v2.4.0.1) can be downloaded here: http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 Second, the driver is not set up to allow WPA encryption by default. This can be easily fixed by editing the two lines concerning this in the file /os/linux/config.mk (in the downloaded driver folder) before running make/make install. WPA is very common and should be activated by default. Third. My device is apparently recognized as another chip set, and ubuntu loads the rt2800usb driver instead of the correct rt2870sta. I've had to blacklist rt2800usb to make it load the right driver. Fourth. My device is not included in the device list (/common/rtusb_dev_id.c) for the new driver. The lsusb command gives this information on my Gigabyte device: ID 1044:800c Chu Yuen Enterprise Co., Ltd Bug report #632187 concerns the same Gigabyte usb device on the same kernel, but does not mention the blacklisting rt2800 issue. In my experience the problem can not be solved without blacklisting the rt2800 driver. A quick search here at launchpad indicates that there is other devices missing in the device list as well. In short by, blacklsiting the rt2800 driver, editing the device list and activating WPA, i got it to work. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.
