Bug#601976: firmware-ralink: Wireless network unusable when kernel loads with the wireless function button powered off
Hi again, Of course I remember. It was a Targa, model Traveller 1576 X2. If you need more details about the hardware, I have all the manuals yet. Greetings, David.
Bug#601976: firmware-ralink: Wireless network unusable when kernel loads with the wireless function button powered off
Hi Jonathan, The laptop with this issue is dead, so don't worry. I can't remember the details, but I think I solved this problem, althought I don't know how exactly. It doesn't matter now, so you can mark this bug as closed. Thank you very much, David.
Bug#598144: rt2500pci: very low transfers and link quality
Hi again, Finally, after analyzing my laptop's hard disk, I have remembered the final solution, that was using Ndiswrapper with rt2500 Windows drivers. It was the only way... Greetings, David. 2011/12/5 David Sanchez Herrero david.kru...@gmail.com Hi Jonathan, Thanks for reply about this problem, but the laptop with rt2500 wireless card died 6 or 7 months ago (a graphic card crash), so I can't try the 3.1 kernel version. I think that after a lot of tests (compiling a new module version using compat-wireless project, compiling the drivers from Ralink, updating the kernel version, disabling Network-Manager to manually configure the card, ...), I finally got the wireless card working fine, but now I can't remember which was the final solution to the problem. I'm sure that there was something bad with the rt2500pci module because I found a lot of information about the problem, associated to different distros, and I could verify with a Live CD that the problem was in Ubuntu too. I'm thinking about analyze the laptop hard disk this Christmas to recover some files to my new computer, so if I find some information about the solutión that I applied, I promise to write again to tell you. Meanwhile, I think that you can mark this bug as solved if you want. Greetings, David.

Bug#598144: rt2500pci: very low transfers and link quality
Hi again, After some troubles that I could solve, I connected the interface, but it's impossible to make anything because in all terminals appears one message continously: cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain. I can see that I lose the connection, probably because this message. This happens with 2.6.36-rc5-686 kernel. Any idea about solving this problem?

In this case I don't lose the connection to the AP, but the link quality and transfers speed are still low. 2010/9/28 David Sanchez Herrero david.kru...@gmail.com Hi, My idea was to test with NetworkManager and try to download some files, etc., but I think I can do some tests without graphic enviroment.

Hi again,
I need to compile the graphics card drivers (Nvidia) and I can't find
headers for 2.6.35 kernel in the repository (deb

Instead, I install linux-image-2.6.36-rc5-686, that has header packages
available, but I can't install header packages because a dependency error:

what can I do??

Hi all,

Please test Linux 2.6.35 as packaged in experimental. If this isn't any

Well, obviously it wasn't my intention to publish my WPA-PSK passwords :). Don't worry, I will change them. Sorry.
