[Bug 104382] Re: Wireless rt73usb requires Windows init and performs quite poorly
The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test: 1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux- image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. --or-- 2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback. ** Tags added: cft-2.6.27 -- Wireless rt73usb requires Windows init and performs quite poorly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104382 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Michael, n-m issues here may be on their way to be resolved. Hopefully next n-m will have the fix (it was distributed in source a few hours ago for testing, and if the test is successful it will be packaged put available.

I meant to attach this earlier, but this is what shows up in dmesg when Vista isn’t used to initialize the device. ** Attachment added: Dmesg output w/o Windows init of RT73 device http://librarian.launchpad.net/7279447/dmesg_no_vista_init.txt -- Wireless rt73usb requires Windows init and performs quite poorly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104382 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 104382] Re: Wireless rt73usb requires Windows init and performs quite poorly
I found a workaround! Well, actually “rausb0” in #ubuntu on Freenode did. At least, it is a partial workaround. There is a file, http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz from the http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Downloads page, which fixes this issue. The rt73 driver both initializes the device from a cold-start (e.g., power removed) without Vista having to init the hardware, and it also restores the expected performance and functionality (no packets disappear into the ether!). The only downside is that NetworkManager absolutely refuses to manage the device. I don't know why it refuses, I just know that it doesn’t work. It does not detect the wireless networks, offer to set them up, or even handle a static configuration when placed in /etc/network/interfaces. So, there is something definitely wrong there. If both of these drivers could be combined, the result would be perfection! :) -- Wireless rt73usb requires Windows init and performs quite poorly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104382 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description doesn't yet have enough information. Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team: 1. Please include the output of the command 'uname -a' in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture. 2. Please run the command 'dmesg dmesg.log' and attach the resulting file 'dmesg.log' to this bug report. 3. Please run the command 'sudo lspci -vvnn lspci-vvnn.log' and attach the resulting file 'lspci-vvnn.log' to this bug report. For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies .

[Bug 104382] Re: Wireless rt73usb requires Windows init and performs quite poorly
No problem. I’ve attached the information requested in a text file with headers so that it can be easily split apart again if needed. The file contains: Output of 'uname -a' Output of 'dmesg' Output of 'sudo lspci -vvnn' As usual, if there is anything else that I can do to help provide information, I will be more than happy to do so. I was trying to find an NDIS driver that I could use with the “ndiswrapper” package, but the only NDIS driver that I can find (and extract!) for this card is a Windows Vista (NDIS 6) driver, and ndiswrapper does not yet support NDIS 6. So, my next thing is to try to see if there is a newer version of this driver, and if so, if it works any better. This singular bug is one of the most high priorities for me, though I can understand that it isn’t likely to be an exceptionally high priority in the grand scheme of things. Nonetheless, while I lack the technical capability at the moment to do anything about this, I am attempting to learn. Thanks for the information, and I appreciate your efforts! ** Attachment added: uname -a; dmesg; sudo lspci -vvnn output http://librarian.launchpad.net/7231188/bug-104382-requested-information.txt -- Wireless rt73usb requires Windows init and performs quite poorly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104382 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Feisty, and no. How would these apps wake up the device?
