Hi, Timothee Besset wrote: Linux plageis 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 17 06:29:18 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux My wireless connection suddenly drops after 20 to 30 minutes of usage, especially when I run the program synergy between my machines (if I am not running synergy it can take many hours between every drops). In the syslog I see: ERROR!!! RTMPCancelTimer failed, Timer hasn't been initialize! Sorry for the slow response. As Ben mentioned, after you reported this, the driver was merged into the main kernel package. Can you still reproduce the bug? If so, please try the following: 1. Attach output from reportbug --template linux-image-$(uname -r) right after experiencing it. This will give us some logs and tell us a little about your hardware. 2. Try to reproduce with a 3.x kernel from unstable or experimental (the corresponding driver there is rt2800pci). The only packages from outside of squeeze needed for this aside from the linux-image-* packages themselves are linux-base and initramfs-tools. If it exhibits similar problems, please report this upstream at linux-wirel...@vger.kernel.org, cc-ing us...@rt2x00.serialmonkey.com and either me or this bug log so we can track the resulting discussion. If it does not exhibit similar problems and the latest squeeze kernel does, we have an interesting task ahead of us. Maybe we could take inspiration from the new driver when fixing the old driver, or maybe it would be worth just backporting rt2800pci altogether. 3. Any new, weird symptoms in the meantime? Was this a regression, or was the driver always broken? Etc. Thanks for reporting, and I hope we can find a fix.

Hey Jonathan, Thanks for following up on this. I haven't seen this happening on 3.x kernels since I switched a few weeks back. I haven't been using the system for gaming/voip or with synergy though, so it's possible my usage patterns have changed .. but generally speaking I feel this is gone now.
